Jobs in the offing!

Today I had an interview at Newage engineering. Having sub-contracted to them in the past I know what to expect. Not sure if I want the job though. Very good money, and to someone so deep in the stuff as me, I can’t afford to turn it down. But we’ll see what we see. Another interview is for an office junior at the local prison. That is so weird I’m thinking of going just for the hell of it. But a more interesting one is for a local clothing firm. Only packing, but the money is good. Engineering...

How bad can it get?

Things are so bad financially that I’m even thinking of going back to gardening for a living. Maybe it’s the lovely sunny weather, but money is so short I’m willing to try anything. If I get another dead end job, I will be a slave again, and breaking my back for so little money, gardening will look like a happy release! So what’s stopping me? The money for the advert. I haven’t even got the £110 for the add in the local paper. How pathetic is that? No matter how hard I try, I cannot see a day... Sign in to see full entry.

UFO’s hackers and money well spent!

After a hacker named:Gary McKinnon got inside the NASA mainframe, some uncomfortable truths have come to light. http://news.bbc.co.uk/nolavconsole/ukfs_news/hi/bb_rm_fs.stm?nbram=1&nbwm=1&bbram=1&news=1&bbwm=1 There does exist an organisation set up solely to keep the UFO idea boiling. Even if this was a scam, used for diss-information, you have to ask yourself- why? Billions of dollars and thousands of people all working to keep an idea going, which even the hardliners on both sides, cast doubt... Sign in to see full entry.

You’ve got to keep trying!

With the prospect of a dead end job looming tomorrow, I wonder if there is any point in going on with the PHP, ASP stuff? Where will I find the time? And will there be any jobs at the end of it? When I look back on my time in the factory, I would have been better off, writing novels and hopping to get them published one day. At least I would have enjoyed it. But I’m always drawn back to the thought of having a way of making money from home, where I’m my own boss, and I don’t have to get my hands... Sign in to see full entry.

ASP, PHP SQL and the whole damn thing!

ASP, PHP SQL and the whole damn thing! In a last ditch attempt to save my skin, I’m pinning all my hopes on these programming languages. The writing (although its coming along) will never pay enough to be taken seriously as a real job. But with programming, even the small jobs will return a living wage. You can never make anything trying to sell a whole web site. No one wants them, and those that do, can do it for themselves. So the only hope is to pick up pieces of coding jobs. With PHP and ASP...

Back in the pit!

Back in the pit! Have you ever had one of those visions where you see yourself back in hellish place you feared from childhood? Well I face one of those now. Having worked in a terrible factory for 11 years, I now face the prospect of having to return to one. Things are so bad, only a miracle will save me, so I have to face the fact that I will have to take any job. The only one on the horizon, is in a factory called Newage. This is a small minded hell hole, full of life’s failures, but the pay... Sign in to see full entry.

Horns of a dilemma!

Horns of a dilemma! I have tried and tried and tried to make money on the net and honesty does not seem to come into it. Well, at least hard work. If you put yourself up as a writer, you might as well go into a bank and try to get a job, after telling them all you have just walked out of a ten stretch in prison. My only conclusion is to try the adult market. Now this had paid me in the past. Freereviewpass.com has ground to a halt, as they have made a complete mess of their payment system. But...

Ups and downs.

Ups and downs. Things do go in a circle. Things seem to be picking up. After selling a few books on Ebay, and getting a little money, the writing is flowing in too. One guy want me to write a series of articles/flyers/emails which are basically Spam! The sort of pyramid scheme you were warned off years ago when the net was young. But he pays, so what can I do? I preferred writing the adult site reviews, they were more moral. But that site has ground to a halt due to their own stupidity on how... Sign in to see full entry.

Black Looks

Black Looks Things are looking a little black. The money has virtually run out and I now have to go back to the world of dead end jobs. I’m hoping that my web interests will pick up and help me out in the future, but it looks bleak. All I need is a job for about 3 months to get me back on my feet. Not the end of the world, but still an admission of defeat. Since George died, things have just run down. Sure, I made some money from the adult wen review. But they have suffered hackers, so the whole... Sign in to see full entry.

Had some good ideas and some very bad ones. I’ve tried to steer clear of MLM pyramid schemes for years, but I’ve found some cheap ones. And the spin off is that I post them along side the job opportunities. In the vain hope that some one will buy into it and at least I’ll get my money back. I’ve often wondered about ways to cheat the system. Like investing a thousand pound, by simply handing out amongst a group of friends and saying: “just pretend to be an interested party”. Then you pour the... Sign in to see full entry.
