shit...i feel you. im so lost right now, i feel frozen. I dont know what to do about anything, so im doing nothing, which depresses me even more. why does money have to play such a huge part in our life? it seems everyone has a hustle but me, and yes, i am afraid to go to jail for a hustle. but when you're feeling backed into a corner with no end in sight....what to do?
I just wanted you to know that I left a kind word for you over in ShellyP's comment spot. I know that your blogging has been MIA (per your previous post) and I understand that all too well. I also noticed that I've been ex-communicated from the daily reads of yours. Is it that in our blogging adventure we make and lose readership because, like relationships it takes a toll on us? I sometimes think my blog roll and keeping up with the Jones' consume me so much I often want to rid my list. But I think it's a nice way for others to link with others; spread the love. It kind of stings when one notices subtle changes where they once were linked. The best to you on your journey. I so love your writing ... even if I'm not here as often as I'd like.
@ proactiff... it's not even like that... BLOGGER swallowed my page the other day when i was changing it... those on my 'daily reads' was all i could remember. but thanks for stopping in... so i can get everyone i HAD... back on.
Sounds like the life I left in CA. Now that my commute is 10 mins, I must admit that my quality of life is MUCH better. Better luck with the location of your next job.

Public transportation can be such a disappointment sometimes.
Yesterday, a trip that normally takes an hour and a half took two hours and fifteen minutes. That's just ONE WAY. Yup, I spend 90 minutes on the bus just to get to work.
Returning home takes another 90 minutes but you have to add the 30 minutes that I sit waiting for the bus. Yesterday, it was 30 minutes late. So, total travel time yesterday was four hours and fifteen minutes.
Add in the eight hours I spent sitting at my desk. Add an hour for lunch. The total time away from home: 13 hours and fifteen minutes. It's so not worth it.
4 hours Travel time (RT)
+9 hours Work day
=13 hours
24 hours in the day
-13 hours that I spent at work or en route
=11 hours left in the day
11 hours to play with
-8 hours of sleep... which I rarely get. who sleeps for 8 hours?
=3 hours ........ all I get is three hours to spend with my family
So... this temp job ends at the end of this month. And I'm done! Having a job means NOT having a life.

Wow that's depressing.
Great job breaking down the hours of the day. But actually looking at it on paper like that is quite the bummer. Work sucks.
