Back but for a different reason

[ClingingToHope]

The work stuff took my mind off the X. Monday morning I got a call to interview with the aerospace firm on Tuesday. That was always my No. 1 goal. Later that morning, the marketing firm told me they wanted me to come in Tuesday for more work. Then THAT AFTERNOON I was offered a job with the financial services firm.

The financial services firm will pay $4,000 a month while in training ... and it'll be at least 4 1/2 to 5 months before you have to start hitting quotas. If I'm absolutely awful at it, I'll still get a lot paid off.

I called the post office and dropped out. I want to keep that one in my back pocket for the future.

Tuesday I did the aerospace interview. They said they'd have a decision by end of day.

Then I went to the marketing firm meeting. They gave me four assignments and then talked about me coming to Monday and Wednesday morning meetings.

I told him at that point that I love the fact I'm getting more and more work, but it still isn't enough to pay my bills so I'm looking at these other two jobs.

The marketing firm owner followed me to my car and started talking about a dual role of writer/media consultant and business development. He said he wasn't sure how to pay for business development though. I said I was interested so lets keep talking.

The aerospace company didn't call - so they are out. I accepted the financial service offer and told the marketing firm let's keep developing the relationship until he's comfortable enough to make a concrete offer. That's the issue. He's never actually made a concrete offer.

So in a couple of weeks I go from worrying about my rent to worrying about my sleep. I'm going to be extremely busy.

That's a good thing. I told a friend though that for the past 18 months I've had all the time in the world to date just no money to actually ask anyone out. Now, I'll have more than enough money to date but no time.
