Vacuosity

Working stiff

I was keenly aware today that I need a job. Not just any old job, though. I need to be able to be home most of the day. I was hoping that I'd be getting more freelance than I am. I guess I can't just expect it to fall into my lap, can I?

I was checking out elance, a place where designers from around the world can bid on projects, and work remotely. It seems good; there's a lot of work going through it, but it's expensive to be a member, and it takes about 60 days before you start to win jobs. So, that's no short-term solution.

Assessing my vast array of skills and resources, I realized that I am able to: clean pretty well, talk to people nicely, design stuff, write stuff, daydream, and throw spitballs like nobody's business. Now if only someone would pay me 40 or 50 K to hit a moving target at 50 feet...

Well, in the interest of financial rotundity, metaphorically speaking, I ought to check those want ads.
