TODAY!

[roxy]

Today, I'm going to write, damn it, come hell or high water. And by write, I mean add to my stories. And I think I will post the one as a WIP. Hopefully it will motivate me. Or kill me as I try and type through my tears.

Greetings new friends! Welcome to the Rose fireside. Cookie? Porn?

So, tell me, what does kind of job can 25 years of experience folding shirts and hanging clothes get you? My current employer has decided to take the last little drab of Astroglide away. I expect a bit of ankle-holding--it's retail after all--but this is seriously ridiculous. The changes they're implementing really make it clear how little they value us as individuals. This was a place that actually was once upon a time fast, fun and friendly. Not so much any more. Well, fuck, not at *all* anymore. I have no skills!!! What can I do???

I'm too old for the leopard print daisy dukes anymore...*sigh*



Yup, it's just like this on the job....

What gingersnap said--you have many skills that you may not use in your current position. We all know you're a great story teller and you must be good with people to not shove hangers down their throats. Is there anything in your area that needs like a tour guide, or copy writing for ads, or some sort of welcoming/concierge/information person? You also are a good artist, maybe you can pursue that direction and do commissions. One of my boyfriend's friends designs patches and also does commission drawings on the side (he drew me a picture of Nightwing for Christmas). You are very clever and entertaining, and don't let Targhell take that away from you.

*HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGS*

Thank you! I'm going to take a look around the area and see what's available. I think I'll feel better just taking those steps, you know?
