Well, it's been two weeks since I've been 'liberated' from the jaws of the home improvement firm I once worked for and life so far has been just dandy. Some of the physical ills I've had over the past several months seem to have been disappearing... a good thing... and I have not had any broken fingernails from having had to 'play tiddley-winks with manhole covers' as I called it.
Yes, life is good. My mental attitude is improving and my optimism is unbounded. Good thing, too, considering some of what I've run across this past fortnight.
To begin with, let me just say that I have posted my resume on line... a very short, concise piece which has led to some very interesting results.
No, I'm not interested in working in a boiler room, calling people and asking if they have Prince Albert in a Can or ask if their refrigerator is running... and no, I don't care to talk with you if you are selling me something like a higher education or a spa. My phone is for my use, not yours to sell me something. I don't want to be the person calling unbidden into someone's private life trying to sell them a higher education or a spa.
So far, I have seen dozens of possibilities thrust across my computer screen and have pursued at least two of them. The first was a very promising interview with a company which most of you probably know and involves a business opportunity which on the surface offers a more than generous return on a modest investment. There are other similar opportunities of the type available and I plan to investigate more than just one in the coming weeks.
The other interview came out of the blue quite literally as I started to write this blog yesterday. It was a preliminary interview conducted by a third party for a company which I am familiar with here in the DFW area. It involves selling something which I have sold previously and am to a degree a bit hesitant to attempt selling again. The saving grace is that the sales model is different than other enterprises of the sort.
When I haven't been busy combing through the internet, trying to put together a team to close a Cursillo in about two and a half weeks or playing taxicab driver, amateur plumber/landscaper and Mr. Mom (the dishes aren't stacking up as quickly these days), I am moving apace with a happy-go-lucky hobo named Suddsy Watters.
Yeah, that same Suddsy Watters.
For the most part the story has been writing itself. In the space of just a few days I have written over 10k words on Suddsy's saga. At this rate, I'm confident that I may have a complete first draft ready within this month.
Nothing else on this end, at least for the day... warm temperatures are back, so, it's into the yard here in a few moments, or out on the bicycle, perhaps.
Be Seeing You!
