For the moment I will be referring to today as the first day of my freelance writing career, but since I have not yet found anyone to pay me for my work, it might technically be my first day of unemployment. The search began a while ago but people are so slow to get back to you, it's really annoying. I have had some preliminary success, but after the people who liked my stuff said they would talk to their partners or boards, I don't hear back. Not even a rejection. Just waiting. The one nice thing is that the payroll was delayed by two weeks at my old job. I got paid yesterday for the end of December and I will get one more paycheck at the end of the month, so I have some flexibility. Regardless, here is a shameless plug:
If you or someone you know needs English/Spanish translation, comedy, travel, philosophical or creative writing of any sort, don't be a stranger. Email pbbmail@gmail.com today!
Ugh, I feel so dirty.
So, on a slightly more entertaining note, my car's engine light went on last week. I took it to the mechanic for a lube/oil/filter situation and he told me that the reason the light was on was for some fuse or something and that it would be covered under the warranty, so I should take it to the dealership and get it done for free rather than paying him. I have been trying unsuccessfully to even speak to a service representative at a jeep dealership since then. I have left messages and emailed and everything but no response. My plan was to go down there personally today, but as I sat in the Safeway parking lot using the wireless internet to post my blog last night, I suddenly noticed that the engine light was no longer on!! Now, if only the rest of my problems could be solved this easily...
