transpaoSo yeah it's been a while. See right after I started writing in my journal again my laptop power cord fried. So we went to the local computer store to get another one. To my bewilderment they were charging nearly $60 for a replacement. Being the shrewd business person I am I said "F--- That!"
So we ordered one off of Amazon. Well when I say we I mostly mean my fiance. For some strange reason they sent us a gateway laptop battery instead. So we don't have a computer at home anymore so Li tries to contact them via my phone. Apparently Amazon crashes my smart phone for some reason. Long story short there is a battle over who screwed up, people aren't returning emails, and Li gets a new job so we now have a laptop battery useless to us, and my laptop still doesn't work.
I ordered a cord off ebay a few days ago. Hopefully it will arrive soon.
I am still looking for a job. I most recently sent in an application to the Atlanta Zoo. Which let me just say sounds like a badass place to work. I remember back in hort school trolling the zoo website hoping for a position. The only thing that bothers me about it is the lifting requirement and worry about being out in the weather again. Oh and occasionally the smell.
I've also been thinking about starting my own business again. Actually I have a couple of ideas. I think I might be able to make living selling my soap. While working for AmeriCorps I saw several booths that did the same thing. I really like the idea of going to reenactments, ren fairs, and the like... I love costumes.
The next idea I had is that my dad has a huge autograph, baseball card, and coin collections. The only one he keeps up with these days is his coin collection. So my proposal to him was that if he will put up the cash for a booth at Dragon Con, I will go through his autographs and his baseball cards do the research on pricing, and I will take them to con and sell them. His biggest two concerns were that he will have to put up like $500 for a table, and all the publicity the co-founder has had recently concerning pedophilia. *sigh* I still think he could make a killing. I mean man he has some amazing autographs just from dixitrek alone.
Lastly I have an idea about starting a blog. I see a market that isn't being tapped. I am sure I could create content for that market. The main thing is that I currently don't have a reliable source of internet, and I really don't know how blog businesses work.
But I am tired of the job hunt, I am tired of feeling useless, and just because I have stuff that needs flexibility doesn't mean I'm not capable of working.
