Prospects (Jan '09)

En route to the Inselberg station I was feeling ready to be more settled. The word profession came to mind along with the concept of having a mission that would pull me along for a while. By contrast it seemed to me that I’ve been a bit of a bum as of late. And then it occurred to me that perhaps I could be a professional bum; I could approach the lifestyle with true dedication, make it a raison d’être. Maybe there are relevant continuing education courses at the New School. I considered my résumé and I have no doubt that I am qualified. And having not paid my own living expenses for a year and a half, I have a decent amount of experience under my belt. To boot, I have a few offers that have been floated my way.
