keep thinking about curiosity

Curiosity (www.curiositygroup.com) is the company I applied to for their senior writer position a week ago. I have been thinking a lot about this company and how much I would love to work for them.

Visualing myself going there for an interview, talking to them. Visualizing myself working there and writing for them. And lately I've found myself looking at ads and thinking, ok, if I was writing for this audience, for this product, what would I want to highlight? How would I reach the audience?

I don't know if it is being positive and optimistic or thinking too much about it, especially since it's only been a week and probably too soon for them to start calling people in for interviews.

I think in addition to OHSU being a draining place to work with all the drama and frustrations, I think I am feeling tapped creatively. I like healthcare, it interests me, but there are only so many things I can write about, only so many ways I can talk about heart attacks and colon cancer screenings. I feel like I can't tap into my real creativity, and it certainly isn't a creative work environment.

I don't want to think about Curiosity too much, because who knows if I will even hear from them. But I think this is a pretty good indication of what I am looking for, and I didn't even realize I was looking for direction there. I want to be more creative, I want to be able to play with my writing more, write for different audiences, different products and really have a chance to stretch my mind. And a more creative, fun work environment definitely seems to be something I want.
