Life Unemployed -- They Call Me Captain Hopeless

It's been several weeks since I last posted, what I thought was a legalese for "LOSER" actually meant I won. Go figure.

At any rate, I'm still drawing benefits while looking for a job. Sigh. The hunt for the big white whale goes on. But it seems lately the only jobs available are for those with medical degrees and licenses or nurses. All else falls into the "We want you to come work for us for less than minimum wage" category. How's a girl supposed to survive this town for less than $5 an hour? Seriously?

No wonder there are more unemployed people than employed in this town. No one wants to pay enough for people to not only pay their bills on time, but to eat as well as put gas in the car.

But soon, I'm not going to worry about that. Over at iMU Studios the group is in the second round of the investor's program and over at bForsaken Studios the gang is in contact with New Moon Studios who are willing to scratch our backs if we as the saying goes "scratch their backs."

Meanwhile, while all this is falling into place I'm also getting ready for a trip to California for "THE BIG" interview. I don't want to jinx it so I'm not even going to name the company. Those who know me, know exactly who I'm talking about and believe me I would be on cloud nine if accepted. Or somewhere on the streets of LA getting tanked up on alcohol to drown my sorrows. Oops... almost jinxed myself.

But for now I must stay afloat and walk that boulevard of broken dreams and pick up the pieces to rebuild my life. (No pun intended.)

But I do need to keep my head above water. Many good things are coming my way but I must be ready to receive it as anyone who has been unemployed for awhile must do.

Life Unemployed -- Battle between good and evil continues

The results of the hearing was a bit confusing, it's very hard to translate "legalese" into english but from what I gathered I think I lost. Oh my heart aches. But I'm not going to lay down like a floor mat and let these people walk all over me. So I applied for an appeal again. This time with more evidence (I couldn't find earlier) and a little more focus with my approach.

I never go out of my way to scratch someone's eyes out, I'm a more conservative fighter ... an opportunity sniper. I tried to remain cool and collective during the first hearing ... even when some of the things the company came up with were lies even the referee picked up on.

I never once raised my voice or accused them of lying during the interview. Instead I remained calm and collective, but maybe I was too calm and too collective that I didn't explain what needed to be explained. Perhaps I would have won then.

But now that the nervousness of the hearing has passed and the fire-breathing dragon turned out to be more like a den of hungry lions and I was the white rabbit watching my step and preapring to leap out of the way when possible. I know which path I must step in to walk into that den and be heard. To transform that white rabbit into a silver tigress.

This wasn't what I really wanted, I just want to survive until I found a new job. But now that white rabbit has been tossed back into the den.
