Ewww.<br \/>\nBegging:  Don&#8217;t like asking for stuff or money, and handle rejection poorly.<br \/>\nWhoring:  Std exposure is icky, and honestly more importantly, I have enough issues surrounding sex that this is just a bad bad bad idea.<br \/>\nWaiting:  Parents seem to be in good health (for which I am grateful =)<\/p>\n<p>I guess that leaves getting more work<\/p>\n<p>The work I&#8217;m doing now makes alot of other jobs not-a-step-up.  They pay is about as good as I could possibly expect from full time temp work, and not half as soul-gnawing, and all for only half time.  It is programming, which is a downer.  It is indirectly for the military: another downer.  On the other hand, the rather informal nature of the work environment, and the casual friendship with my employer makes it one of the more comfortable setups I&#8217;ve had from a social perspective.<\/p>\n<p>I like working closely with a small number of people.  I like relaxed settings.  I am comfortable with science and rationalistic topics, though I prefer something with a human side as well.  I like explaining, exploring, investigating, suggesting, and in general proposing, examining, advocating, or refining ideas.  I delight in a sense of connection and free flowing communication.  I&#8217;m also way pro self-improvement, and assisting others with improvement of themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Not sure what I could do with all that.  But it&#8217;s there, as an examination of self.
