Listened to Paul Reiser talk to Marc Maron on the WTF podcast. As I think about changing jobs, I realize that what I want to do is unique. I can’t really follow anyone else’s path. That sucks because it is scary. But it is also a bit of information. It’s good to eliminate possibilities too. Though I hear the echo of one of my favorite professors saying that “eliminating what something can’t be can take a very long time to arrive at what it is.”
At some point, to make the change that I think I want, I will have to take something of a risk. But that’s part of my path too.
Work really sucked yesterday and the thought of changing jobs is very appealing. But, the thought of changing to something similar isn’t appealing enough to me. At least not after cooling off a bit.
All the Nerdist, WTF, and other podcasts that I listen to provide a kind of hope that I too can make a change to have my path meet better with my expectations.
I know what I like. I know what I think I might like but not with as much certainty. I also know that there are things out there that are not for me.
Why so many podcast interviews with comics?
