Purpose, direction

My friend Carrie thinks she has finally found her calling. That passion that Oprah is always telling us to find. Carrie has the advantage that she doesn't have to work. So she dove into making pillow case dressed. She found her passion and ran with it.

With the down turn of the economy, the USPS is offering a modest buyout opportunity. There are people ready to retire that plan to take it. There are a few with a few years invested in the career that are taking the money and starting over. The surprising thing is the few people that are wanting to take the money, resign, and never look back. The are looking at the money is a little cushion and an opportunity to follow their passion.

Now I'll admit to having a passion, several of them actually. They doesn't pay well. Seriously, how many people get sit around all day watching television and get paid. I can even multi task, I can sit in front of the big screen TV with my laptop and watch the latest episode of Project Runway (oh how I missed Tim and Heidi) while surfing the Internet. Sometimes serious news or weather, but usually facebook, twitter, or other time wasting site.

To push the limit, I can text while I'm waiting for updates. And transferring music to my phone or music player. Yeah, I'm that good. As far as a profitable passion, yeah still looking

note to Keebler: jalapeno flavor over whelms the whole box
