It's Thanksgiving. That's what the calandar says. It also says that it's Novemeber 26. 2009.

I've been spending my days looking for work, doing research and trying to figure out what to do.
I have had this idea for quite some time that what has happened in this economy is an opportunity for people who have skills to strike out on their own.
Smaller businesses, less dependance on the corporate monsters and big guys to make a living from.

For a long, long time I've run into resistance in doing t… Continue

It's amazing how many get rich quick promises that are floating around these days.
I keep running into them. I guess hard times brings out the carpet beggers from their hiding places. They just can't seem to resist trying to take people with promises that are about as solid as jello...well that's being unfair to jello.

It's the first of October...yay!!! My favorite month of the year. I've been extreemly busy looking for work. It's my new full time job.

It's Tuesday and for the first time in months I slept past 6 a.m. That's amazing because even on the days I had off I'd wake up early and not be able to sleep in.

The pressure is off. At least this one pressure is, now there will be others until I find another job. Hopefully this one won't be insane.
Makes me wonder what happened to sanity and reason in the work place.

Anyway, the class that was required to get onto the floor went bust for me. My accumulated test scores didn't make the grade s… Continue
