Life Lessons

The last few days have been full of life lessons, or confusion... It all started Sunday when the official vehicle of TWIMO, Vicky the Vibe, started acting weird. Then Monday she didn't even work as in kept stalling. Thank the good someone that I didn't make it out onto the road before she stalled, so I had to call a tow truck. That was the first life lesson. Calling a tow truck. And then thanking my lucky stars that my friend Silvia could come pick me up and take me to the dealership so I didn't have to ride between the two burly tow truck men.

The second came today when I was perusing Facebook, as always, and saw a sorority sister in need of turning a word document into a vector image. I was like, "I know how to do that," so I reached out. It turns out I saved her school (where she is a teacher) who was making tote bags with the image on it $35 for the set up fee. Now this makes me feel great... kinda... I'm all about helping out a school, but it literally took me 5 minutes to do the file transformation and most of that time was my computer loading the program (it's a little ancient) and the printing place is charging $35 for it!!! I really need to get into something that pays $35 for 5 minutes of work!!! Way to rip people off screen printing places.

The third life lesson came in the form of an e-mail from a job I applied to for a position in a carpet showroom. The lovely HR manager e-mailed me to tell me that I was over qualified for the position and asked if I was still interested in being considered. Now this really confuses me. I'm unemployed. Does that still make me over qualified? Should I wait it out for something I'm qualified for? ECONOMY STOP MESSING WITH ME. I'M OVER IT. Love, Me.
