Time for New Year's Resolutions! (Oh, hi, I'm back! Where have I been? I don't know HOW I missed so many entries! Now though, I have a website people can access more easily, and a new resolution to write more often. Check out sleeping-dragon.us)
Ok:
1. Write MORE OFTEN! 2. Do not BUY on Ebay, until everything already bought has sold! 3. Contribute more monetarily to my second home. 4. Find a job there, (though there hasn't been much pickings!) 5. Continue to be me. 6. Not start smoking. 7. Really start working on the oft-put off novels.
Those shouldn't be considered in any particular order really, just as things I need to do, or change. The Ebay thing bugs me, as I tend to sell and then turn around and spend the money I made from selling items to buy more. Instead I'm going to try to sell, save, then buy later. But for now, I have a lot of stuff to sell, and my priorities lie elsewhere as far as money goes. Like towards that giant house I spend my weekends in.
The novels. Hmmm, what do I do at night at my Mother's house? Watch TV, talk to Karla sometimes, read, etc. But instead, I could be writing. It's really a good environment for it, since I'm left alone once my door is closed, and I could do the 10 pages a day I used to when I wrote the first draft way back when. Be a wonderful thing to finish something, before I become known as the great unfinisher.
The job thing. God, what a pain in the ass. Lately, there hasn't been anything in the paper or anywhere else that I haven't already applied for. Is anyone calling me? No. Does that seem wrong? YES. So, what can we do to fix this, and make a change? Apply in Green Bay more. I'd need to find a car then, but if I had the job lined up, I might be able to borrow the truck until I saved enough. Something like that. A job there is bound to pay more than what I make here, and though not convenient to Menominee, probably more than I'd make there as well. And the drive isn't that bad, compared to the drive I've been doing. So, there's that one covered.
Seek, Inc. A company I worked for before might be a help. And that temp agency guy is going to start getting bothered much, much more.
I never really realized how hard it is to look for work when you already have a job. I haven't done it much in the past, getting a job from College, then the store, then a job, then and so forth. Odd to say, but actually harder when you do work, than when you don't.
Money is an issue these days, and this is one big way to fix that.
And for the writing these things resolution, check back tomorrow. |
