What to do when the paint won't dry......

Slow? Try slower. I guess slower than slow is still slow.

I don't have a whole lot happening right now. The BPO line of work has dropped of a considerable amount. Its still enough to keep me fairly busy, but I prefer more than "fairly". I get antsy when I'm just a little busy. I find myself doing things I've never done before to pass time, like cutting coupons and pretending that I am busier than I actually am.

I'm still in this weird "starting out" phase of my career, which seems totally messed up considering Ive been a Realtor for more than 5 years. I'm not exactly sure if I am waiting on some sort of shining light from the sky to point me in the direction to go, or my own brains version of the Immaculate Conception that births some creative and magical path to business success. Either way, I am annoyed with how little I have going on and even how much less I know about how to change it.

I know part of the problem is that I make good money doing the BPO work. I am not starving, and pay my bills on time. Sometimes I think that a lack of hunger (both physically and literally) keeps me from moving into the next part of my career, or possibly the first part, depending on how you look at it. I've often thought, if my family depended on me selling homes, I would have a much hotter fire under me to get something better going.

Regardless, I feel like I should be running at a 7 out of 10 level, and I more at a 2. Maybe slower. Slower than slow.
