A life update

I know that it's been a LOOOOOOOONG while since I last posted to this blog, but considering that I don't happen to have any followers (other than someone else and me on there), I figured that I would give a long awaited updated here.

I know that there's been a shnoze load of things going on in my life, hell sign dancing for 8 months only for the company you worked for to move out of town and you can't follow them doesn't happen to help things at all. But I'm now currently looking for work right now, and that might actually help out if it wasn't for the fact that my resume doesn't exactly sing with experience in areas that are now mostly outside of sign dancing at all, I mean come on, I do look, but when you end up getting calls for selling the one thing that you've never sold a day in your life, then you know that it's pretty bad. Personally I really don't know what I'm going to do any more, and what doesn't help things is I'm not getting paid the right amount for what I do. I know that those of you that have seen me out on the side walk, you all know that I do a damned good job, however the problem is, I end up not only having to go with what they want to pay, but their hours as well, and that right there really don't help things at all. Right now I should be getting paid at least $10 an hour for the sign dancing that I do, and about 4 to 8 hours a day for it, but no one around here in Contra Costa knows what they really have thanks to other sign "holders" (since they don't do anything to actually attract attention to those passing by at all) that don't do a damned thing.  I know that I happen  to have friends right now that are actually trying to help out, but in this economy EVERYTHING is up for grabs. Take for example my own mother, she wasn't making a dime for the job that she had, because she was only on an as needed basis. However when I talked to her and convinced her to actually go for the job that she has right now (at least till tax day), she took it, and is now making more than I currently am. That hurts right there, but there's nothing that can be done for it.

So in the mean time I scour the net looking for work, and yet get no calls back from anyone at all. Personally I know that this can't be it, but it looks like this is going to be it, and I really don't know what in the world to do. I don't have a driver's licence and those that I know (from my mother-in-law to my friends) aren't able to help me at all (and I did post that asking for help in that). So I really don't know how I'm going to get the one thing that I know that I'm going to be needing for a job in the end. The college education is the one thing that can come later, but in the mean time, I just really need that driver's licence. I've already got the permit to get my experience back, but it's actually getting that experience back that I'm having a hard as hell time with right now.

I know that this entry (and possibly the last one as well) may seem like a bitch fest, but I don't really have that much of a choice in the matter any more. I'm a writer and I can't even concentrate on writing at all, I've got two fictional blogs (listed below), I've got two books that I'm trying to work on, but I can't do a damned thing any more :(, and all because of looking for a job that I can't even get because of the need for one little item. I mean come on there's one of two places that I would love to work at, either FedEx or UPS and wouldn't mind working in the warehouse till I can get to the truck level, but the one thing that's needed in order to be able to get to the trucks, hell the job, is the driver's licence, and that's the one thing right now that I don't happen to have right now.

Oh well, enough with my bitching, you've read enough.
