Life in the Millennial Depression

I figured I might as well start the book now.

Who knows how long I'll have electric to be able to write it on the computer.

Might ought to go buy a used typewriter at the local thrift store and start hording what is left of the old fashioned paper junk mail. I can turn in the bio draft on that and type by day light, should I be able to muster the energy to peck down those keys. Wonder if I can still get my hands on correction tape???????

Seriously though. I feel like we are sitting on the very brink of it. Via Facebook I have been in touch with a handful of my school mates. One of them reported it taking her 19 months to find work and she has lived here all her life as far as I know.

Now, I am pretty sure she had some schooling in there for dental assistant or something, but I don't know if the 19 months included school or was after being qualified.

At any rate, things are rapidly becoming desperate here. Winter cold will be here soon and my current income is any where from 20% to 45% of my bare minimum monthly expenses... this does not bode well folks.

I actually applied for a part-time job yesterday... one that pays enough to pay my basic minimal expenses... sad that actually locating ONE semi-suitable job prospect 40 miles away is exciting, but it was. Cross fingers that out of the hundreds of applicants somebody actually looks at mine.

Boy do I need a real network here...

So, I have begun advertising for life coaching services. Just today I did that. Put ads out in SF, Austin and here in Dayton. Hopefully a few of those folks with good steady jobs or from families with some $ will find my ad and website appealing and contact me about coaching them.

I really love coaching people, and figured I might as well start putting some ads out (they are free). I got some basic (and very appropriate for the Dayton area) business cards to hand out to folks I meet casually.

If I could just land a few coaching clients, I could limp through the winter with that and the weekend sausage gig. Just need to eeek out til spring arrives. Things will be better then, or we'll be eating the neighbors (I am one of the young ones here, so I feel pretty safe...).

Bane/Ollie is a darn good hunter, so if push comes to shove, I might have snake, crawdad and shrew (BTW - the critters he brings in are shrews, not moles...) stew.

Mom is waiting for him to come home with shrimp. I hope she isn't holding her breath. But if he does, WE ARE RICH!

OK, gotta hit the hay. Worked out some technical website related crap today and my eyes are whoooo hooooey... but, I now have google analytics tracking my site and I have a way to see if anybody is actually even opening my backpage and craigslist ads... I love google searching for cool things... It is important to know if anybody at all is opening the ad and in what cities that ad title might be attractive...

So, if you know anybody that is looking for a life coach, please let me know.

I am not posting any details about the site or such on here, as I like having this totally anon personal space to let it all hang out!

Low plane overhead at the moment... has another war started???????????? "they" always say that is good for the economy... too bad it sucks for the living people...

Bye all,

put those + vibes out...

chickie might be running out of Aces finally...but I ain't sinking til the ship does.
