My machines do all the work. I'm just watching them. Today doesn't feel like work, really. It will keep me busy though until tomorrow, which I hope to be the most important day of the year.

Haven't found a job yet! Getting kinda scary...will resume search after the 1st.

Having a nice holiday weekend so far. Some family here - they are napping. Going to see 'It's Complicated' in about half and hour. Just wanted to pop on and wish everyone a good day. For those of you who are having a hard day for one reason on another....Please know that I have been there (or have had holidays alone and blue, the day will pass, Meanwhile I hold special thoughts for you.


They say on CNN that there are 16 million unemployed. I think it must be more like 32 million. It is truly hard times trying to find a job. I'm sure if many people had a job, they would gladly work today for double-time. I know I would.


Aye aye! I used to work on Christmas day. A half day usually (8-1pm). But that was my own schedule, because i was a sub-contractor so I decided to go and work on my own. Extra 500 dollar bonus to finish it by new years' eve, I couldn't refuse.

Worked Christmas night. Haven't been here long enough to get time and a half. Blah.

Considering whether I can exist if I pick up a secondary full time job. 16 hours most days... Even if I could squeeze 3 months out of it, it would help financially.

Groans.. I hate dealing with jobs and money and life.
