A "real" update?
Hmm. Looking through my past entries I haven't said anything real about life since January 5th, so much for thinking everyone was up to date... Stuff happened today anyways, so it's update time.

As you may or may not know, my nice temporary job at Kodak managed to stretch for 14 months. Sadly that came to an end on December 30th. I did the whole job looking thing without much success for over a month. By February I gave in and went back to Tony's, so I'd have some sort of income while I keep looking. I'm still there, still making $6/hr + tips. Some days that pays better than the $13/hr I got a Kodak, some days it's worse.

I've been keeping my eye on Careerbuilder and Monster.com for anything in the area that I'm qualified for. So far I haven't really found anything. I was given a name and e-mail address of the CEO of a support company in Matthews. I emailed him and he replied saying he was just back from vacation and needed some time to get on top of things at work before he could discuss any potential job opportunities with me. He told me to e-mail him again if I hadn't heard back by thursday. It has now been a week and a half and I've e-mailed him several times with no response.

I've had a couple of different ideas for things to do as a part-time home business. I talked to my neighbor who runs his own electrical business to find out what all I needed to do to be 'legit'. Today I went down to the court house to register the business name. I have verified that the name I want is available, I just need to get the form notarized. Not knowing where the nearest notary was I tried to call my dad, he didn't answer so I headed over to Kodak. If he wasn't available I figured someone there would know.

When I got to Kodak, someone else had just come in and was talking to my dad, wanting to get a small data-conversion program written. My dad suggested he talk to me, since I've done a few things like that for Kodak and I'm looking for work. So now I've got a little bit of work, $200 for something that wasn't too difficult to do. Tomorrow I'll take it over and see if they have any more sample data. I think it's done but I'd really like to test it on more than 10 or so records. I also need to get down to the bank some time this week and get that form notarized and back to the courthouse. And do laundry. Clean laundry would be nice.

It's time for sleep now, I managed to get up "early" (9 am) today, and being that it's past 3am it has caught up with me. I intended to be in bed two and a half hours ago...
