cassy:
i wanted to tell you, thanks. today's been one of those days, and tonight has been fine but it's like that shit is looming in the back of my brain. i dunno....i just, don't want to believe it's the case. i don't know how to act and how to feel about it tbh, except i've never felt like this about myself before ever.

My political heart died that day, and my fist lowered a lil. Thanks for representing BD, and that's a real nice stash!
tita:
Could you send me your up to date addy? I have treats for you! (nothing as fun as that mustache though)

Time for some life-direction ponderings. I know I tend to make resolution-style To Do lists, but this is a little different. I've got a steady job (2 of them, actually) and will be caught up on bills in about 3 weeks, so I'm getting the money thing under control. I haven't volunteered any where (outside of participation in protests surrounding the Metro Bus strikes and...

Well, here I am. Thhhhuh.... Thhhuh..... ahem. In the tenth year of my 20's.

So, as I am oft wont to do, I am going set a list of stuff I'd really like to accomplish. Perhaps my age and experience will help me formulate a likely plan that I will easily accomplish. Perhaps I will use my past accomplishments to really inspire myself to kick...

Here it is. My last blog post as a 20-something woman, before I turn 30 tomorrow. And I'm shitting myself.

Now, I'm not exactly sure what I'm shitting myself over. I mean, I'm not worried about not having settled down, gotten married, bought a house, and had a stable white-picket-fence lifestyle. Because I've had that. I had all that before I was 25. I decided...

Aaaaaand I'm unemployed again. Boo-urns.

BUT, I've got cheap (yummy) pizza and sparkling wine and expensive (yummy) cheese, and I turn 30 in less than a week. And the supervisor at the company I just finished my contract for loves me and really super desperately wants to hire me on, and is hoping to be able to fire someone who is being a lazy douchetard...

A day that ends in wine and cheese can never be all bad, I say. I'll keep my fingers crossed on the lazy douchetard getting fired. wink
greaser:
That sounds pretty good, actually. Good luck to you!

I'll be joining you in the ranks of the unemployed shortly, but I'm not worried. I'm sure there's a tremendous need for tank drivers in the private sector.

I feel like I've reached the end of the internet. Maybe that's a sign I should go outside or read a book or something. Any suggestions of free things to do when you live in Toronto? Much emphasis on *free*.
oxy:
what is this outside you talk about?

Just twirl in a circle into the feeling goes away.

Tomorrow's the Canadian federal election. Recent polls indicate that the NDP has a decent chance of forming the official opposition to Harper's minority, or of even getting a minority themselves. Holy fucking shitballs! I am so nervous/ excited, I just have no words. All night I dreamt of the election, to the point where I honestly thought I was going to wake up to Monday...

Update: So, today I popped by Staples downtown and it looks like I'll be working for them at least part-time. That's a bit of a relief. Also, I fixed someone's computer today, so that's a small bit of extra money. And I got a call from Elections Canada. I'm going to be working on election day as a polling clerk.

In the meantime, bills are...

I started a computer repair business when i started school. The idea was to make money while being able to keep my schedule flexible. By the end of it, i was struggling completely to keep school in the schedule. I had gone from doing virus removal and simple repairs to developing and designing server/workstations for small businesses.

I was working on a friend's/customer's computer when i yanked out my netbook to download some programs and i said under my breath "jesus this netbook is running like shit"

To which he snapped "That's comforting, you can't even keep your computer running right"

and i snapped back with "Shit yea dude! i work on computers every-effin-day, when i get time to myself that last thing i want to do is whip out my junk and start working on it, no profit in working on my own computers!"

The entire time i ran that business, my computers all went to shit.....i never worked on them.
devilsreject:
oh no doubt.

With the imminent fear of being laid off i have started taking on side jobs again, just to hoard cash in case that happens.

For the last three days i have been writing html and css code by hand because i don't want to dish out the $200 for dreamweaver.

if i type <a href="idon'tgiveashit.aboutyourdamnwesbite.com><img src="ihateyou.jpg></a> one more time into Notepad++ my head may explode.

And i made the mistake of fixing one tattoo machine power supply for my friend, and now i have six stacked up beside me waiting to be troubleshot.

Looking for some financial advice from my intelligent friends. So, I'm not sure when I'll be starting work (my recruiter said the HR person in charge of next week's gig is off and so we'll find out about that Monday and prob start Tuesday), and I'm shitting myself about paying this first month's bills.

Any advice on filling short-term gaps in income? I've still got...

I always seem to be back there.
My tirck is to ust to cut rate freelance IT work. Usually for residential clients. Things like virus clean ups, system tuning, wireless configuration etc and so on. Hanging your shingle up on Kijiji and Craigslist works. Plus flyering in your neighbourhood. You'll have to undercut the legit shops in town enough to make it attractive to the user. In your area with all the small shop competition that would be $35-$30 per issue. But in the burbs of MIssissauga, or Etobicoke you could pull $50 an issue.

Best of luck to you!!! I feel so bad because I know how shitty is to feel money slowly drain away and to be just clutching on trying to hold out for that new money to come back in!! We've sold furniture, cashed in my retirement fund, maxed out our credit cards (which are thankfully not that big) and budgeted the hell out of each month to prevent extra spending.

Keep your hope up!!
