I hope Clinton and Obama end up being a team so I don't care who won. Guess I am one of those idealists who is at this point making the choice to step out of any debate between two people who could do amazing things for our country, together.

"You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one."

I was just going to go on about finding a flexible job that allows the LW to pursuit her gift for comedy but, this covers it it simply and honestly:

"So if you are smart (Don't look at me! I had to learn from experience!) you will begin now to look for a new job."-CT

I am pasting this quote into almost every email I exchange with my siblings and artist friends. Even if it isn't the topic, I'll just sneak it in there. I'll let you know how that goes. Good luck LW and I hope I am fortunate enough to see you in action someday.

LW, I am sorry your Mom is so ill. It is terrifying when someone you love is suffering and there isn't much you can do. I wonder if your Mother would really want you to uproot, knowing how hard it is to feel settled in a place you like with a decent job and neighbors you like.

In your extended family, the threat of losing your Matriarch is larger than any plan, but is your move really going to help? You will know the right thing for your family. It will come to you and you will just know you've done the right thing. You have a lot going on if you have a child under 6 months, so be patient with yourself, be kind. Make sure you let your husband know how grateful you are that he is willing to move, because that is a selfless and loving gesture.

This must be so difficult, I cannot imagine what you are feeling right now. Know that you are not alone and that others are thinking of you.

Your resume looks like swiss cheese you say? Has someone gotten a copy of my resume again?

It could be boredom, ADD, restlessness, your perfectionist tendencies, your sensitivity or intolerance. Maybe you just want to try a little bit of everything, knowing life isn't very long.

In advertising for example, people move around a lot. Talent seems to be mobile and something that is spread around, rather than incorporated. Don't most people move around a lot now? Once upon a time, I worked for seven photographers, in different capacities, then clawed my way into editing and design.

At that time, I found a job recruiting, deciding that since I didn't have the patience or maturity to stick with any one thing at least I could help someone else find theirs. In any new career path, there was never a feeling of relief, like " This is it!", only a spreading sense of dissatisfaction.

Perhaps some people get so fed up that they become recruiters, career counselors and life coaches. It seems paradoxical. Who knows where your restlessness will lead you! There is usually something big behind the nagging restlessness. I say, go with it but don't jump without a clear picture of how deep the pool is. Is it a glittery illusion or a new opportunity for growth and a solid career move?

I like the idea of working for yourself. Rhetorical Q number nine hundred: How can you make that work, LW? Good luck! I hope you find what you are looking for.
