Dead Kitty

My cat is pretty cool in that she likes to be around people but just out of reach. So when I am programming or working at the computer she hops up on the monitor and goes to sleep. Yesterday she was so sound asleep that she rolled off the monitor falling onto my hands on the keyboard on her back, stayed asleep and rolled limply onto my forearms. I was certain she’d had a heartattack! A moment later as I held her gently in my lap and pet her she stirred awake, shook her head, looked around, then slowly hopped back on the monitor.

Whenever I become focused on trying to get money into the house my wife misreads it as depression and anger. Why can’t I just be focused and productive? I’m happy when I am focused and productive! I’ve hand delivered a resume with cover letter and work samples today. I’ve emailed another submission. I’ve been on the phone with a contractor about our french drain. I’ve talked to 1 recruiter and now have him submitting me for a 4-6 month contract that I’m ideal for (granted, this recruiter bills out lower than I should be but that’s still more than I’m making now). I’ve left messages for another recruiter and for a business contact that I have a history of getting work from. A depressed angry person doesn’t have a productive morning–my morning has been productive!

A New Day!

Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning

I got up 3 minutes later than planned. Still wish I could have stayed up all night. I should stretch and run but I need to be organizing my call list and my pitch.

If you have ever considered clicking that “make a donation” button these next 2 weeks are going to be very hard and now would be a good time to click it.

Tired

It’s late. I’m tired. There is so much left to do. I wanted to email several resumes to jobs listed in the paper then plan a barrage of phone calls for the morning.
