Need suggestions-what to do with spare time...

I know this may sound silly, but I need something else to do with my time. All day I sit on the computer and search for a teaching job, send out resumes, research, and I am getting tired of it. So, what does everyone else with their spare time? I need suggestions. I am kinda sick of reading, I've even tried knitting...

Anything else?

yep- I went from selling my old stuff to basically running a business out of my house

all you need is a computer, camera and way to upload the picture and you are on your way to making $$$$

it brings me so much joy!

I agree w/Beth! I also thought I only had a few things when I started. you would not believe how much stuff you will find that you want to get rid of once you have some sales! and like Beth said, ask your parents, in laws etc. I have sold some stuff for my mom too.

I actually started selling AVON. It is something part time for some extra spending $$. It is very easy to do, and I get to meet a lot of nice people. You could probally do really good with it once you get a teaching position too.

I also have a full time job but my husband works so many hours that I was getting bored being home alone.

Re: Need suggestions-what to do with spare time...

Can you take more classes to make you more marketable for a teaching job? I started my doctorate part-time and am almost done with my dissertation now (though it was a long time coming!). Or maybe a part time job? Are you working full time now?

I know how frustrating the job hunt is, so go do something else and clear your mind!
