Why doesn't the world revolve around me? Why, why, why? OK, sorry. At 38, I believe I have an extreme case of arrested development. I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I want people to take care of me, at least part of the time. I developed this independent shell a long time ago, and people seem to think I don't need anything. However, they want me to take care of them. This is one of the reasons I hate having an administrative assistant position, I don't like doing things for people that they could easily do for themselves. I've also felt that hubby wants me to mommy him for a good while, although it seems to be lessening. I guess I was hoping V, the former partner where I work, would act as kind of a mentor to me. She had said she would call someone at one of her former employers (very prominent in the state) to recommend me for a position, but that hasn't come about. She wants to know specifically what I want to do, but I don't really know what to tell her, other than media relations, communication, etc. She's the one who's worked there, I'd think she might suggest something to me. Plus, she's more concerned with setting up freelance writing assignments for herself. Which is as it should be. I was just hoping for some help. I will, and have been, be dropping her and the other former partner's names as I search.
