Job Hopes

So I have an interview on Wednesday for a new position with the company. It appears that the position is a lateral move rather than a promotion but it would give me Monday through Friday with more or less daylight hours. That would allow me to find a second job to make some extra. My current hours are fine and I have never really cared what hours I work but the mid shift type of hours I work right now are not very conducive to part time jobs with the hours I have left.

I have some very high hopes for this position so if anyone wants to cross their fingers for me and wish me luck it would be greatly appreciated.

Here’s Hoping

I found out today that I have an interview for a new position at my new job. The position is one that would allow me to more fully utilize my talents and from what I have heard, will also give a shift that would better align with my goal of getting a second job to help out the bills. My current shift is mid-shift which makes finding a part time job rather awkward due to the hours that I work.

I really do need this because I am very, very close to losing my home if I can't find a way to increase my income. Please wish me luck.

Employment

So I am looking for some freelance writing or editing jobs at the moment to help make some extra money and perhaps lead into another career or an additional career. While I have no formal writing or journalism training I can do better than a lot of the crap you find on the web or hear on TV or the radio in my sleep.

I consider the schooling I had in the 60s and 70s to be far superior to much of what passes for education nowadays. It also helps that I read vociferously and always have.

I apologize to anyone that this may offend but how many of you read the news article about the particle accelerator in Cern having released a Balrog and were able to immediately recognize it as the subterranean creature from the Lord of the Rings trilogy?

Reading is a very important art that I fear is being lost. I worked with a young man a number of years ago that extra-ordinarily proud of the fact that he had never read an entire book.

Please do not let the world come to this. Read something!
