Nothing Changes but the Changes, Slick

This line has explained so much in life ever since I heard Gary Busey say it to  Kris Kristofferson in the 1976 remake of A Star is Born.

The changes are hitting me hard and fast.  After teaching as adjunct faculty in the San Diego Community College district since June, I’m back on the job market. This time I’m looking for that wonderful database related job that provides lunchtime yoga and a sane commute with co-workers who are driven to do excellent and innovative work.

I’m excited to see what 2019 is going to bring my way!  Welcome aboard everyone!

On Career Changes

In June of this year, I quite my high paying job as a database administrator to create space for a new career as a mythologist.  What’s a mythologist you ask?

The short answer is a mythologist is lover of mythology. I believe mythology is part of our consciousness even if at times we disparage it or ignore it.  A mythologist believes that mythic systems impact our daily lives and if you take time to work with mythic artifacts you will be part of the flow of optimal life experiences.

I think people should read fairy tales, because we’re hungry for a mythology that will speak to our fears.
~~Sandra Cisneros

I’m still hoping to do some work as a database administrator and/or developer as I’ve been doing database work for over twenty-five years and I find myself addicted to the thrill of making things run really, really fast.
