"Goodbye, easier said than done" __ Clint Black & Wynonna (Black'n'Wy Tour,
1993) __ 'A Bad Goodbye'
A difficult decision, my Monte Carlos (all of which have special significances
for me), including my 1st car (1979) & the one my nephew "claimed" (1987), are
FOR SALE. I've been unemployed for nearly 4 months with no current viable
prospects, I still owe open heart surgery medical bills, & I'll lose my
storage. I can't believe this is happening (especially since illegal
immigrants get benefits), but such is life.
Someone noted that this situation IS my fault since, for me, medical
procedures/expenses are expected; of course, that person is correct. Still,
it's ironic that selling is partly because, less than 3 weeks after returning
to full time work following my 11/11/2011 open heart surgery, I found myself
out of employment from the company that had a campaign to promote "grill
decency"....
The job hunt is not going well, but I've done some personal projects. While I
continue to try to get hired, I'm researching volunteer opportunities. I've
been applying to customer service, social media, web content editing, &
marketing/sales careers.
Selling isn't ALL bad; POSITIVES in EVERY situation, right? In this case, once
my MCs are sold ... I won't own a front-wheel-drive nameplate vehicle (until
Ch#$r%*et introduces the all-new front-wheel drive Caprice!) ...&... I'll have
fewer boards/groups to visit, translating into more time for the remaining
boards, driving, writing, etc.! OK, so maybe those aren't complete
positives....
