People are just making shit up in hopes of catching a ride on that fat TNL donation train.
I'M KIDDING! My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in their assorted times of need.
I'm getting to a breaking point in my life and I don't know how to overcome it.
With what happened last week it just finally hit me that now I need my job, they don't need me. My boss realizes this and is giving me shit but I cannot do anything becasue I am afraid of getting fired.
All this while I'm looking for a steady, better-paying job in my field but newspapers everywhere are at a decline. Corporate America has bought them out, turned them to shit, and now reporters are left out to suffer. Kinda sad when even the Washington Post, one of the pinnacle newspapers of this country, is being used as a stepping stone for Yahoo and ESPN.
I'm landing freelance work here and there but it's just not enough at this point. Rent isn't going to wait and I don't want to be one of those guys who is stuck in a job he hates solely because he has bills to pay.
So this is affecting my writing. Badly. I have a script due (overdue in fact) and I haven't put shit to paper yet. I'm afraid when I do finish it it will read like shit and I'll be shat on.
The only thing remotely good about this situation right now is my ex feels bad for me and will be stopping by later to give me liquor.

Her goal was to write a novel so she was doing this to keep strong ties with a publisher and make money as she wrote her book.
Yeah I've been looking for those right now I'm being offered internships. I can't take an unpaid job that demands I work over 20 hours a week. I have bills.
Are you looking at relocating as well Razor? Is that an option? Cause I'll gladly look around cleveland to see if I can't find shit that's hiring.
I'd move if it paid well enough, yes. My girlfriend would either have to come with me or deal with me being gone but, as she says, I have no soul and wouldn't care.
I'll look around.
There's always an option but you have to be willing to take it, there has to be an opening somewhere in this country to help you overcome this.Quote:
