Or more accurately, like one of those toy cars that you pull back and release to watch it zoom across the floor. Except, I feel like I’ve been pulled back and am just waiting to be released. What to do with all that pent-up kinetic energy? When you’re unemployed, you can get depressed about not working and bringing in a paycheck. Or you can experience a sort of manic tension where you want to unleash some really brilliant ideas because you have plenty of time (often too much) to read and reflect.

Yes, part of the "work" of being in the job hunt is looking for work: submitting resumes, networking, conducting info interviews, going on actual interviews, etc. The problem is that this involves a lot of waiting and I don’t like to wait. For me, having patience and waiting are two different concepts. Waiting is like handing power over to someone else. However, you can have patience and still be proactive in looking for opportunities to do something big.

I have something big in mind that’s just too important to keep tucked away. How do I implement it? I’m not sure. How does it integrate with my job hunting? Again, not sure but I think it can co-exist with whatever I find myself doing. What is it you ask? I hope to share it very soon.
