Well, it’s a temp job for a background check company, not a coal mine. Although coming along about 5:00 p.m., it feels rather coal minish, without the dust and the risk. I heard from one of the jobs today; it’s not happening for me — or anyone else they interviewed this go-round. I blame it … Continue reading »

Ain’t Too Proud to Beg …
I hate asking for help. One of the things that has been necessary as our savings begin to dwindle has been asking for ‘getting by’ assistance.

If You Must Return It You Can Send It Here …

I’m already working on next week’s and am returning to my regularly scheduled writing a little more powered up. Nice feeling! I’ve also created a separate blog for Flash Writing: it’s not completely set up, but it … Continue reading »
Just One Victory …
If there are two words that describe my life right now, they would be the ones in the picture above: Epic Fail. I have been interviewing for jobs and so far there have been two results (which add up to the same thing): 1. You’re overqualified and we really think that you will be bored … Continue reading »
