Carmen wants a job
Tue, November 18, 2008 - 12:38 AM
I am looking for a "job". Something to provide a bit of steady cash flow and some rhythm to my week. Something to get me out of my familiar cafes and off this infernal machine.
Ideally this job would require 15-25 hours per week. It would be nice if the location offers me an excuse for a bike ride or bus or skytrain swoop, though of course I wouldn't snub my neighbourhood either. Something that has people-contact, but where I don't have to make ALL the decisions or fire it up from scratch...I'd be happy selling books or bikes or apples or other things i like, or helping folks with needs, being a general helper/gopher, solving problems and being creative in small ways.
I'm not in it for the big bucks, but some bucks would certainly be useful.
If you have something for me or know someone who might, please let me know.
Thanks to the Universe that's got it all in hand,
Carmen
p.s. in case you're not in Vancouver, the word on the civic election is: VICTORY! It's a whole new day. Gratitude to all who helped out, ran, voted, and danced it up.

A timely reminder to post any good leads for jobs on the Tribal Classified phorum titled "Sustenance" on Tribal Harmonix. If there's anything with your name on it Carmen I'll be sure to let you know.
Right now i know of a biodynamic farm that needs help out in Ladner. |

This is an exercise in putting it out there, what i really WANT -- not selling myself, but opening my arms to the Universe. So far so good -- i've gotten a couple dozen sweet responses to my email-out, and a couple of hours after i sent it, i received -- completely synchronistically -- an invitation to help organize an exhibition on the history of cycling in Vancouver, at the Vancouver Museum! Not a paid gig, so far as I know, but an interesting avenue to explore.
I know I want to do something hands-on, for real, with people and things...not "administering" to anything, although I will "organize" if the material piques my curiosity. Honestly, I would like to sell apples or books or bikes...and i've already received two replies to sell books (or at least to promote them), and two offers from my bikeshop-owner buddies to talk possibiliities over coffee -- i have an idea to sell FOLDING bikes, at mobile kiosks, at condo developments, university orientatiion-week markets, etc. Anyway...I don't want to do what I can do with my eyes closed, cuz i've done it already a thousand times. I'm lookin' for new fun. Thanks so much all, keep the networks buzzing! |
