Leprechaun, where’s your pot o’ gold at leprechaun?

Some of these cartoons are funny, but nothin beats Heathcliff and Rainbow Brite. Today instead of talking about all the things that are going WRONG in my life, I’m actually gonna talk about some good stuff. I find that a person who remains steeped in their drama usually can’t see a way out so I’m counting my blessings no matter how bad I may wanna sulk and talk about all the negative. Yesterday was quite productive, I continued my job search and put in a few  more applications at some places I heard were hiring. When I got to Movie Gallery www.moviegallery.com I found a very friendly customer service rep who was more than willing to tell me all the things the manager was looking for in a person that she would hire. She was a geek of sorts, but I’ve never been one to discriminate on those who lack a certain cool factor, cuz let’s face it, she has a job and I don’t. So I conversated with her like she was my best friend, made eye contact called her by her name and vowed to drop off my application today between 2 and close so that the manager might interview me on the spot. It pays minimum wage and bi-weekly, but you get unlimited free movie rentals, and if anyone knows me I rent a LOT of movies. It’s always a BlockLockett Night at my house! Even if it is minimum wage…200 bucks every two weeks, is much better than 0.00 dollars every two weeks, feel me?

I’ve been working on my book like a slave runnin for freedom. Now that I have more of a way to shape it I feel more determined than ever to get it finished. I know where I want to stop and I know how I want to end it. I have a good friend of mine reading and giving me his honest criticism. I think that’s helping to motivate me a lot. When it’s published, I’ll give him and another friend who helped me by critiquing the first copies free. All the rest of ya’ll gotta pay the 12 bucks.

I’ve involuntarily decided to sit school out this semester. So I might as well focus all my energies on working and home. I am blessed to have a good running car (that needs washing) and it is going to get some good usage. A friend sponsered me to get into Pre-Paid Legal. It is a good hustle for people who are really dedicated to going to the tons of conferences and scheduling business receptions at their house, but a part of me wishes I didn’t accept the sponsorship because now there is pressure to make that money back for her. The list of people I made to call, over half of them already have the service, know someone else who does it and is not interested, or are far too busy to schedule a sit down. I guess I am just one of those percents that don’t quite get it. I’m gonna watch the DVD’s I got and see if I can be better prepared, otherwise, if I get a job, I’m just gonna have to bow out of the associate thing, pay my girl back and just keep the actual coverage for myself. It’s almost time for school to begin and I went and did months of laundry at my cousin’s crib. I am thankful to her for letting me mooch off her free washer and dryer. Granted I was there til like three in the morning washing all these negroes clothes and crap, but I got it done. My sister and brother have school clothes. He has to get his hair cut, I’ve got to give her the fresh relaxer and press and they will be good to go. I feel good about that. Pray that these jobs I apply to bear fruit, cuz I really, really, really, really, really + infinity, need a job.
