questions for my friends
Some of my friends have posted a list of 30 questions they want their friends to answer, it has been the same 30 questions each time (which makes it easy to leave the answers in their comments--just copy-paste what was typed for another into that one).
However, it occurred to me that there are other questions I'd want answered if we were having a heart-to-heart talk about were we are in the world, what we are up to, and how we are feeling. Therefore I'm writing my own list, and any of you who feel like sharing are encouraged to reply, either in a comment, or a post of your own.
Are you happy with your current employment situation?
If yes, tell me something about it that makes it enjoyable for you.
If no, what are you doing to try to make it better, or find another you do enjoy? Is there anything I can do to help (like proof-read a resume or something)? If you are doing nothing to change it, why not?
Are you happy with your current social life/SCA level of involvement/family situation/similar?
If yes, tell me something wonderful about it.
If not, is there anything you can do to help change things such that you would be happy with it? Is there anything I can do (such as lend an ear) which might help?
What do you best enjoy doing when you've got an unexpected half an hour to yourself?
What do you best enjoy doing when you've got some time to share with others?
What is the most interesting thing you've learned in the past week?
What is the most interesting (or useful) thing you've learned in the past year?
What is the main lesson you've gotten out of the past decade?
In what direction would you like your life to go from here?

Are you happy with your current employment situation? More or less. How about "scared spitless" because I'm not in a toxic situation (which makes me happy) but I'm also not in a *secure* situation.
If yes, tell me something about it that makes it enjoyable for you. I summoned up the courage to quit a job that was toxic for me.
If no, what are you doing to try to make it better, or find another you do enjoy? Is there anything I can do to help (like proof-read a resume or something)? If you are doing nothing to change it, why not? I'm taking a 30 day "leave of absence" from worrying about it, to see if a clear understanding of where I might go from here will develop. Your support and encouragement are helping me stay grounded to make it better.
Are you happy with your current social life/SCA level of involvement/family situation/similar? Content, more than happy.
If yes, tell me something wonderful about it. I know one of my SCA skill sets, and I just finished doing my part for a *grand* occasion (La Prova Dura). Stretching myself to "manage" the Lists for that was awesome.
If not, is there anything you can do to help change things such that you would be happy with it? Is there anything I can do (such as lend an ear) which might help?
What do you best enjoy doing when you've got an unexpected half an hour to yourself? Creative writing, while I enjoy a good coffee.
What do you best enjoy doing when you've got some time to share with others? Dining out with friends, or just "hanging out."
What is the most interesting thing you've learned in the past week? I don't know.
What is the most interesting (or useful) thing you've learned in the past year? That slow but steady really does get the job done.
What is the main lesson you've gotten out of the past decade? Still working on that one.
In what direction would you like your life to go from here? I want to find that balance where I can take care of food/shelter/etc. and still have energy to tackle something that will make a positive difference in somebody else's life.

Thanks for making the time to reply, it is always good to hear from friends who are doing things to improve the quality of their lives. I will look forward to hearing what adventures you undertake during your holiday, and what you wind up deciding to do for a next job...
