I've been on and off for a couple of days, so I'm asking for forgiveness for not catching up on reading and comments. Enough grovelling, let's get to this post.

There are a few of my favorite bloggers that have published books. I am such a great reader and friend that I want to buy those. Unfortunately, I have little to no money for that pursuit, so I've been looking for a part-time job to afford my new addiction.
I have not done well at recent interviews. I used to ace those things right off of the bat before, but this time I'm flubbing hardcore. It's as if my subconscious is taking control and making sure that my search for work continues. My work ethic is something carved from granite, and my ego seems to have been transformed into blasa wood.

Looking in the classifieds today, I found something right up my alley. "Brick wall artist needed". I'm not sure if they want a graffiti artist or a mural expert. Either way, I'll try it out and see if I can beautify a spot on wall somewhere, and in turn, get some money to buy some of the books that my fellow bloggers have published.

So, I'm off to the hunt for monetary gain. Remember, one man's chump change is another man's life savings.
Before I leave you, I'll upload one of my last images. A radioactive ninja star goat's head burr.

Good luck with the job hunting sir......
ReplyDeleteGood luck from me too!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the job hunt.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many great writer in blogland that you must get your hands on a few.
Or you can write your own book, sell it on blogger, then use the proceeds to purchase other bloggers books. It's a vicious cycle. :)
your blog is so unique! honestly i find the most random things i would never know about otherwise

Best of luck to the both of us. I haven't had much luck securing a job lately either.
ReplyDeletea man with chumb change is rich compared to me.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you sell a blog book?
ReplyDeleteHope you get that scratch son, money is tight all over.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, hope you get the brick wall for yourself!
ReplyDeleteI think many bloggers are in the same boat, money is tight everywhere. Good luck with the job hunt.
ReplyDeleteJobs tend to be an elusive prey. But I'm sure you can nab a part-time gig that'll net the change needed to show the monetary support you want to your blogger buds.
ReplyDeleteBalsa wood one was cool. Best wishes to land on a job soon
ReplyDeleteGood luck getting a job. Don't worry about being busy too.

ReplyDeleteBrick wall artist does sound kinda strange. I wonder what kind of job that is...
