A few random things I’ll toss on here today, since I haven’t been writing anything lately anyway.

First is this blurb on a news story in todays online version of our local paper. It’s not funny, but it is. Of course I’m sure most of that is due to how they wrote it. It’s linked if you want to read the actual story though.

“Family and friends are asking for the public’s help in finding the killer of a 13-year-old Palmdale girl whose body was found wrapped inside a red carpet Monday morning in a Palmdale onion field.”

Anyway, I’m still looking for work, and still applying all over. Spent several days without my meds and have been a little up and down. That was unintentional as my appointment kept getting moved and then it took 25 hours to get the damn things refilled. Fucking ridiculous is what it is. *sigh*

I sold a bunch of my beads at a really low price as I needed the money- my mom may be paying my bills next month as it is. However, I’m thinking of taking some of what little money I have and buying some beads and reselling them- I know I can make a few dollars off of them anyway.  Too much to think about and not enough time or money or anything else.

Something like two weeks have passed since my last post, and for the most part, I’ve had nothing to say so I’ve said nothing. The stint on elance.com has achieved me nothing so far. I’ve put in bids on some 20+ projects and have been shot down on every one of them so far. Needless to say this is not helping my confidence in my work very much.

I did manage to snag a small job from a friend, which is good, but it won’t even buy me a tank of gas for my car. Still, I’m not complaining and its better then nothing. I’m still holding out for some of my Friday market postings to come through for me and snag me another few jobs. Unfortunately the goat market is pretty much dominated by a few people who have been running it for years.

I’ve realized that right now I have enough money in the bank to pay my bills for this month but that’s about it. Filling my tank is going to put enough of a dent in that that I might not be able to pay them all if I do it. Not good. M says he has two more jobs coming my way but he also said that two weeks ago and nothing so far. Hopefully he comes through on these soon as I need to get some money together for next month as quickly as possible.

I’ve also realized my job hunt has taken on new dimensions and I’ve been applying everywhere I can think of that you can apply online as I don’t have money or gas in my tank to go do it in person like normal. Of course the automated application processes online tend to take an hour a piece, which means if I get four of them done in a day it’s a good day. I plan to make a list of all the major stores I can think of in town and search each one out and see if I can apply online or not. The ones I can’t, I’ll save til I have a day to actually hea din and try to hit them all at once.

I hate looking for work and now is where I kick myself for throwing away a perfectly good job like an idiot.

So I am trying out this site elance.com. Maybe I can snag some work through there- would definitely be nice.

I had a doctor’s appointment today but they canceled it and I didn’t know they canceled it until I was basically there. Waste of gas.

Anything else to say? Nope, not really.

There’ve been almost forty responses to that ad. And out of those, there are… four that seem interesting. Two I am actively talking to, and one of those two I went out to dinner with. Very nice guy, and while I think we’d make good friends, I can’t see anything more then that happening. And of course he’s totally into me, so then I had to feel all awkward explaining that I’m just not feeling it.

King D’s big party is next Saturday and I am trying to get together a  group to go. Princess was worried about not being invited until I explained there will be a couple hundred people and he won’t know half of them anyway and if she’s really worried about it, we bring some booze and turn it over to Kitty. I’m definitely looking forward to this as his parties are always great.

I’ve applied for work to a few more places and of course it’s not getting me anything. I’m getting very tired of looking and looking. Someone has got to want to hire me, damn it.

I posted an ad on CraigsList. A personal ad. Let this be a lesson to me in how to find every man over 40 and every sleezeball on the planet… of course I am hoping something good will come out of this, but who knows.
