A year or two after I moved to Los Angeles, I started a company with a few other guys. We developed web sites for small businesses and at one point had hundreds of independent contractors working as copywriters for us. Mom was one of our best writers and I was very happy to help her […]
I’ve finished two full weeks of work. It’s okay, but I’m still working with a team. Donna is great. She seems to be an incredibly nice woman. She’s already looking for ways to get me a Masters degree. I think my money problems are going to be with me for a while. I either need […]
Tomorrow I start my new job — here goes. Today I had breakfast with Anita, Lunch with Jen and Alicia at Ballyhoo, and went to see Lord of the Rings for the third time with them. It was fun. I also increased the dose of my BP med per Dr. Wang. I need to have […]
I got a job today — with the Alachua County School Board and Americorps. At less than 2/3 of what I was making at Cox. What am I thinking? How the hell am I going to do this financially? I guess I have 2 or 3 choices — a part-time job, a home business (a […]
I’ve been out of work for almost seven months. I think I’m changing, inside, learning better how to deal with life and stress. Maybe. Running out of money again.

Betsy Shenckman said they were hoping to make a decision by today. But she didn’t call. I hope they didn’t call Jim and get a negative reference for me. Or maybe it’s good news and she’s waiting until she can get me more money. Missing Salty. Cleaned out one of the places where she got […]
When I got home from seeing Susan yesterday, there was a message from Peggy Mathes at CCR. I was heading there anyway to drop off my application, so I stopped in to see her and she offered me the job at $35,000. Then she said they wanted to know if I would move to Palatka. […]
In which mom sends me some essays
I had my first interview yesterday with a small company called BCN, Associates. I’m still not exactly sure what the job entails (neither are they), and I was really nervous about it, but I think it went very well. Apparently, they found my resume very impressive, and I’m pretty sure they really liked me. Weird. […]
