Well, I have been dilgently working away from my home job and I have absolutely bupkis to show for it. I get up, work out, make a buncha sales calls, and so far nothing has panned out. I have not made a single reservation. I have made zero dollars. I am running out of $$$ fast. I know that it takes a long time to build up a good Sales clientele, but of course I was hoping this was gonna be easy. You know, for once in my life. But NO. Hard work is the way for me, it seems. Gosh, sometimes I just wanna chuck it and be a drug dealer. Kidding!
But in other news, I sent off last week for my own LLC. I am my own company and I freelance for Point Blank. That’s kind of exciting, but it’s also $200 I didn’t need to spend. I need $ coming in, not going out! So yesterday I broke down and registered with a new temp agency, United Staffing. I was really bummed about going b/c I met with a different agency last week and they were so horrible. Completely bottom-of-the-barrel. If I could remember their name I would warn you not to ever use them. Staffmark, that’s their name. They were so terrible! And it was a torrential downpour so I got soaked AND completely wasted my time. I was pissed, to say the least. So I wasn’t that jazzed to be trying another agency, but I really needed to get myself out there so I made an appointment and I went. To my surprise, all 5 of the people I met were really enthusiastic about me, my resume, and my skills. The woman at Staffmark completely tore me down and made me feel like crap. I am too hireable, you crazy old bat! Anyway, THESE people saw that I have been working throughoutt the economic downturn, and even if it was temp stuff I kept at it to stay employed. That is important, people! There are a lot of people who STILL can’t manage to find work, and it’s not even their fault. So the people at United really made me feel good about finding P/T or temp work, and lo and behold, on my way back home they called me with a temp assignment for today. No shit! Just like that. So I am finally confident that I will be bringing $ in again, and still be able to grow my business and make a decent life for myself. Not just decent. Great. A GREAT life for myself. That’s what I want. I’m sick of working for assholes! I’m gonna have one crazy b*tch boss and that is me!!!
