Networking.

In the short time that I've been happily unemployed, I've been busy networking. This year already I have had a chat with the director of the Great River Shakespeare Festival, spoken with the head of the theatre department at Winona State University were we are trying to work out arrangements to teach occassionally as an adjunct, gotten a lead on a temporary position at Viterbo University, and stopped in to chat with faculty at St.Mary's University regarding my future teaching there as well.

Strange though it may sound, I enjoy the networking and the possibility of short-term work. I am just not the kind of person who can do the same grind, especially behind a desk, day in and day out. I prefer variety.

I believe that I have also already done more writing in the past week than I did the entire year I was working (which is to say that I did not do much writing last year, and not that I've written volumes in the past seven days).

For all of this, life is good.

It's good work if you can get it.
