increase my income

Suddenly the stakes are high. I have 4 prospects for new opportunities. One involves my dream company; 2 involve celebrities (not necessarily looking forward to that drama) and one is a fall back that is a gamble…mainly subletting my apartment and hoping that it isn’t taken from me

When I look at things the way they are, I have to admit that I am grateful that I even have these opportunities. A year ago, 3 of the 4 would not have been possible.

I’m just trying to maintain my equilibrium in 2009. No extreme highs or lows. I did dip the other day dangerously down but a miraculous phone call out of nowhere from a friend truly saved me.

Well, as we go into 2009, things are still the same. Oh wait, they’re worse. The automatic raise that I thought I was getting has been put on hold because of the economy! If you can imagine!

I have given up on eating healthily and now my skin looks like mud. I simply can’t afford to eat properly. And yet, I really want to look good for the Spring.

I decided not to quit…that would just be too dangerous in these times.

I told myself that I would wait before getting a roommate at the end of this month. It would help so much but I am so not in the mood for dealing with someone. It just takes so much energy…

I applied for a great job. High profile and I think super good money. I can’t even think about it. I feel like i deserve to get it but I am protecting myself from super disappointment.

This is crucial at this point. I can actually say that I have been hungry within the last month! Amazing considering where I live, and my skill level. The culprit is my dumb-ass job. I’m stuck in a super-low paying job with no hope for a raise until Jan at best. Even then, the raise will be so little that it’ll be a joke.

I have to go back to renting out my bedroom (that or becoming a prostitute). That is going to suck cuz I only have one bedroom and I hate the thought of living with another for money.

This is the epitome of “between a rock and a hard place”!
