Work-wise, I've more or less positioned myself for a job selling insurance, well.. not just insurance.. but mainly that.

What's the issue? Success in such a field depends upon talking to people. The more people you know, the more likely you are to find one who will buy something off you. Simply put.. people buy from who they trust.. and to trust someone, you need to know them. Right?

So.. why would I, a person who routinely goes weeks without a social conversation or interaction even seek out such a job?

Is it.. some sort of attempt to set myself up to fail? Has part of simply decided it's time to be more social? If so.. for how long?

I don't understand myself...

I had an interview Friday for a different job. A job very much like things I've done in the past. So.. I know I'd be good at it, but I also know I'd not enjoy it. I had my third insurance job interview before this other job one... and when I left the insurance place I was as set as ever that it's what I wanted to do. So I canceled the other interview.

I'm ok with this... while I could have done that other job for a while, it's not really solving anything, is it?

Perhaps the insurance gig is just one more way to cross something off the list.. an ever shorter list of things to say I at least tried to do.
