Assess me

Help me out, friends list.

I need a new job. I hate getting up every day and going to work. I don't trust my company, I don't trust my supervisor. I feel like I'm spinning my wheels.

Plus my job is scheduled to go away in a little over a year. So I'm going to have to look for a new job at some point soon.

Currently I work in accounting. I hate it. Unfortunately I have about 6 years of experience in accounting work, which means I'm qualified for this sort of work.

I've done library work. I enjoyed some of it, but didn't finish my degree.

Further schooling isn't an option.

What do you guys think I'm good at? Keeping in mind that I would like to publish my original writing, that IS my ultimate goal, and I'm working on that.

I don't want to teach. I hate working in sales. I like computers and horses and enjoy physical labor but don't tolerate heat or cold well. I'm not averse to relocating. I have a Bachelor of Arts with a double major in history and creative writing, with a minor in medieval studies. I enjoy research. I get bored easily. I would love to travel, especially domestic air travel. I'm not opposed to overseas travel, but I don't have any real skills that I can think of which would translate to overseas travel.

I type 90 wpm. I enjoy alphabetizing and filing things. I hate talking on the phone. I love the internet.

Does anyone have job suggestions? Fields I might not have thought of? At this point I'm about ready to run away to San Diego and live on the beach, but I burn easily and don't eat fish, so that wouldn't be an ideal lifestyle choice. ;)

I'm at my wits' end. There has to be something obvious I'm overlooking. Help me.

I don't know if this would work for you, but...the daughter and son-in-law are seriously thinking of trying to get a job with the company that makes/produces (whatever the word is) "World of Warcraft". Apparently, the company is in dire need of 'tech support/answer the phones and fix the problem people' down in
Austin, Texas. They would like you to have some customer-service experience and familiarity with the game. Just a thought....

LOL It can't possibly have escaped you that I adore World of Warcraft, can it? :D And I have a very close friend in Austin, so that was one of the cities I've been considering. This is a definite place I'm going to apply, and thank you for telling me about it!

Actually, I thought I'd seen you posting about WoW, but wasn't sure. (Sometimes the brain goes into 'File not found' mode). And you're very welcome. I hope everything will work out for you!
