What to do?

So many jobs being advertised out there, so little belief that any of them will be worth doing*, or even enjoyable.

There is no point even looking for jobs yet, as I couldn't start a new one until after Greenbelt, which is nearly two months away. Plus, my short term contract could well extend beyond the official end date, if I manage to make myself indispensable/work slowly. This is not a thrilling prospect, but actually I could do worse.

I could have a job working for a charity, if I could move to London, but that requires Husband to do the same, and also means leaving Manchester, which a number of people have been kind enough to request me not to do. Besides, it's working for a charity which sends people abroad to do short term missions, and that's environmentally bad. I think. But anti-poverty good. Damn these ethical conundrums.

The trouble is, going to an interview only leaves me with the impression that the new job will probably be uninteresting and require working with people I don't like. The only way to find out is to try it, and I don't want to end up stuck in a job I wish I hadn't taken.

I'm jaded, I'm cynical, and I'm not even 30 yet. Pants.



* ie will somehow indefinably make the world a better place, eg working for the NHS, or a charity, or a company that makes environmentally friendly products. Or organises puppies for sick kiddies. Or something.
