TODAY WAS FABULOUS!!!!!
Apparently, because my rent is so far behind, I can get assistance for the arrears and pay it back later. The problem is that I either need to be working currently or getting unemployment. And since I’m not, I have to prove that I’m “work ready” by showing up every morning at 9 to a job center.
Cool. I just hope that my unemployment comes through… or a job. But I...

Slaveship
Spent today and yesterday doing online research for my latest venture.
I decided to start an LLC because it’s less complicated, although the tax burden is significantly more. It’ll be fine for now and I can always convert to an S corp in the future.
What sucks is that the cost to incorporate as an LLC in NYS is $250 total but there’s a publication requirement. You have to...

Goodbye 2010!
I’m up early, it’s 6 a.m. Actually, I was getting up at 5 to make it to work by 7 two weeks ago until I got laid off, so this isn’t really early.
I always find the week between Christmas and New Year’s a bit strange. Now, even more so, since I’m not doing much of anything.
I could use this time to do some serious Winter cleaning… Of course I could do some...
Good Company, Cartoons and Comic Strips
The holiday was fine. I got caught in the blizzard hitting the East Coast but I made it safely back home after visiting relatives. Praise God.
I actually managed to get a second client for my talent management endeavor. He’s another person that everyone has always told should be a model.
I’m pretty psyched. I created a gmail account and got a Google voice number. I need to...

What a Morning!
I’ve only been awake an hour but oh what a morning!
First off, the buzzer rang a few times before 8:30 a.m.. Immediately I’m thinking, “a marshall serving me with eviction papers!” Of course I didn’t answer it. However, he came up in the elevator and went into my sister’s house (we live on the same floor). I’m still thinking, maybe he gave her the...
Never a Dull Moment
Just came back from the doctor’s office. My liver labs are off. I had to re-do the test. It’s too soon to say. I’m a bit shocked and curious. I spent 6 months trying to strengthen my liver last Spring and Summer through my diet.
They took my blood while I was on the horrid medicine. Maybe that had something to do with it? The doctor told me that the topical medicine...
One Wish
Still optimistic even though the person I was going to “manage” found a job. It’s a temp job though, lasting into next month. Good for him. I totally attribute this feeling of optimism to the Rhodiola supplement I’ve been taking.
Anything goes anyway. I really don’t know what my next move is and I really don’t care. I applied for unemployment. Even though...
Different Strokes
My church is so incredibly dope! The pastor spoke about the different ways to worship God. He made a parallel between the different ways that people learn, i.e., visually, aurally, tactically, etc. and the different ways people express their spirituality and adoration to God.
For example, express their spirituality primarily through nature, singers and musicians, through music.
For me, I...
Are You Gay?
My last day was yesterday. We had a holiday party. All sorts of inappropriate stuff going on, hahaha. Outfits, dances, and a lot else. I didn’t drink or dance and I left early. I just wanted to be out. I talked to people and mingled though.
I’m on to something new. I have a bright idea of helping one of my former co-workers to develop an acting career. It’s crazy but I...

Laid Off
Yep. After just 6 short weeks, the nonprofit I temp for called me into the office to tell me that, due to unforeseen circumstances having to do with the economy, the company is letting some people go. First hired, first fired.
I think they can’t make payroll after this Friday due to a funding hold up. They told me that it wasn’t about my performance. I know this is true. I saw...
Puffy Hands
Wasn’t able to do the fruits and veggies thing today… don’t know that I’ll ever be able to do it again after half starving myself this spring and summer. I feel like, even just thinking about it sent my body into a mad food craving.
But I am giving up breads and desserts. And I’m giving up using anything with fluoride, chlorine or bromine. That means standard...

Thyroid Trickster
I have not been able to post to tumblr for a week! So much as happened. Luckily, I kept my posts in a text file so I can add them.
I MUST STOP TAKING THE MEDICATION! For a week, I’ve had numb hands and arms. It’s so painful! I called the doctor and she said she never heard of it but because it was in both arms, it’s not a stroke. Okaaaay. Brilliant.
Even right now, my...
Rich Dad Poor Dad
Someone at work gave me this book! Extraordinary! I should have gotten this years ago. It makes so much sense!
The author describes a way of making money that’s the complete opposite of conventional wisdom. So many things resonated with me.
I always knew that taking on debt to buy a house or car was foolish. It just seemed ridiculous. The book confirmed this. I always swore I...

Just got back from an interview for a costume design job. It’s for a short film but the costume budget is $2,000, which is fantastic. It’s non-paid but the full length version is already written. They are hoping to segue the entire crew from the short film to the full version.
The interview went well, I suppose. You can never tell about these things… What about my job? ...
