In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.
~ Albert Einstein
The job is a joke. It pays good money but the work is meaningless.
I visit schools that don’t want me there and some actively encourage me NOT to come so much so that at times I don’t go and say I did — which makes me feel terrible about myself. Other places let me come and give me work, but the work is minimal – and for the most part has no or only short term outcomes.
I post school visit notes on a website that is named for a division that no longer exists, that the customer has never heard of and that was elaborately designed for a product I don’t deliver and the customer knows nothing about. The customer prefers an email. So…. it’s like I write these notes two to three times and sometimes for visits that didn’t take place. This is common practice among people in my position, but that is cold comfort.
I am required to run a national network and have monthly Google hangouts. So many people have quit or been fired that there are only 2 members left in my group.
I am writing a mystery novel — I have published several short stories on line and have a small fan base — and I steal as much time as I can for this endeavor. I have applied for and interviewed for jobs, but to no avail.
I am miserable.

Some of our jobs aren’t real jobs.
They are “fake” jobs.
You can either go-along or get-out.
Thank your lucky stars if your integrity will no longer allow you to continue to fake it.
Life is too short to do work that’s not real and doesn’t matter.
