The Art of… job hunting {Day 11.}
I can’t make up my mind. Seriously. I feel that it’s too ego-driven, goal oriented, I am afraid of wrong choices and wasting energy on wrong choices. Funny enough, 3 days ago I wrote I need to surrender more, trust more.
What I really want is a combination, variety, I don’t want to choose. And on some level I won’t have to, I believe, but I need to find this level, this door, or let it find me. I want my job(s) to be fun, inspiring and touching. Thank you to those people in my life that remind me that I not only can but I have to want it all!

My godfather said to me – after I shared recent experiences from Sisters Academy – that I could (wait, did he say ‘should’?) open a space where I help people self-develop, mentor them. Thank you, uncle, I’ve been thinking about it many times, you see. I even wanted to combine it with massage. ‘Talk & Massage’ private sessions, the idea was…

When it comes to developing products, Software Development is the closest, something I am educated in. And to me one of the most interesting ones, too. IT project management and PRINCE 2 are courses I took and a good foundation for a playground, where I can bring in creative communication tools and process improvements from other professional fields (like from teaching, performance and sociology).
Developing performances and designing and creating experiences for others is another fascination. I am a dreamer. And I am practical in a way that I like beauty, art and dreams being also useful.

Tonight it is clear that I need to surrender more, trust…both in relation to love and in relation to job.
The Art of… Job Hunt {Day 7.}
The film about Czesław Niemen, “Sen o Warszawie”, reminded me again what we talked about with Sister in the Academy: one has to be like a tree: with dancing branches, responsive to different winds, but deeply rooted in its own essence. To continue being and doing what feels right, persistently through criticism or doubt.
When involved in a project/job, I can be such a tree. But when searching for a focus – like now – I am more like water floating by, or water that nurtures roots of different trees on its way.

Zacznę się rozglądać za możliwościami jakiegoś sensownego połączenia kultury/sztuki/aktywizmu w Danii i Polsce. Instytut Adama Mickiewicza i Narodowe Centrum Kultury? A organizacje łączące konkretnie Polskę ze Skandynawią? Było mi tak dobrze i inspirująco spontanicznie kroczyć po trójmiejskiej kulturze, sztuce i magicznych, trywialnych kątach… Inteference Festival pozytywnie zaskoczył, a wiele filmów i wizualizacji oczarowało i poukładało mi jakoś elementy od strony podświadomości.
Gala rozdania nagród za sztuki wizualne w Europejskim Centrum Solidarności. To co szczególnie chcę pokazać zaczyna się po godzinie i dwudziestu pięciu minutach (1:25:00): film Z. Rybińskiego, a zaraz potem jego sylwetka, refleksja, pozdrowienia z daleka. Rozśmieszył i wzruszył.

It rang a bell, when I heard Jacob say over our job-inspiration coffee: “…this I’ d see the most fitting for your profile”.
” Wait a moment – I thought to myself – ask him how he sees you.” (I had similar conversations before)
“What do you think my profile is?” – I asked.
“Performance” – he said.
Here we go. Let me extend it for you. Starting tomorrow…

What about my polishness? Denmark is my new home, Poland is my homeland. Can I be a connector? It’s not a split, it’s richness.
Lad os gOre det sammen. Jeg tolker, fortolker, forbinder…
Jestem w polskim lesie. To tylko mały fragment polskości, ale jeden z ukochanych. Dobranoc.
The Art of… Job Hunt {Day 2.}
A negative response came from Guldminen: I didn’t get an office in Vasbygade and everyday access to treasures of the recycling station. Well, others will make good use of winning it, I know. Especially that what I wanted there was something slightly different. A job related to recycling. I’d like to raise awareness, make people fall in love with reuse, spread knowledge and provide easy DIY set-ups for private households (I am already doing that for friends).
I love the idea and potential behind Guldminen experiment. And I felt that new ideas, collaborators, money would come just by being part of that mine. So I reversed the sequence of things (office->money, instead of money->office), and I got a ‘no’.
But I won an inspiration coffee with the project coordinator. She knows I want to create a job for myself. And she knows that more than having an office, it makes sense for me to go around offices – companies, initiatives, activists – connecting elements and using them for interactive workshops, treasure hunts about recycling&upcycling that combine the virtual with face-to-face. I am looking forward to that meeting. I am also meeting one more from the field. After Poland, where I landed today, finally…
