Am I Jealous Of The Rogue?

As I'm typing this I'm watching the Palin/Oprah interview. I am not a fan of either so the interview is rather painful for me but I felt like I needed to watch it. My synopsis? BORING. No big revelations just 2 annoying dames shooting the sh*t.

As I watch I wonder how Sarah Palin could run for the VP office and write a book where I'm sure she was paid a hefty price for and I will again be unemployed in Dec? I don't want to whine as I'm sure Ms. Palin has worked very hard for where she is.....at least I hope she has but I'm a little dumb founded as to how she's where she is and I'm where I am. Life is a struggle and it seems for some (who I see as less deserving) maybe it's not so much. Though I do wish her well with her son who has down syndrome and is cute as a button. Dealing with that must be tough.

Anyway....onto the JOG: I got a couple calls this week about new contracts but nothing to write home about. One (a referral from a HS friend) is trying to find a Biz Development Manager (hope to get more info this week). It'd be like 5-10 hrs a week working from home and I am more than happy to assist. I hope that one pans out. The other I couldn't do as they need someone to start 12/1 and I'm committed to the ad agency until 12/22. I just hope the market opens up for next year. I think it will. I just need to stay positive.

I've been receiving a lot of referral resumes of people looking for jobs. I'm trying to forward those onto people I know in the biz but I just can't help everyone....and that's tough for me. I saw a guy filling out an application at a coffee shop today. He looked a little disheveled and I have to say my heart went out to him. People are doing their best to survive in this economy and we all have to take stock in what we have and be thankful. So my life isn't about making a cool mill for a book that I probably didn't even write. I have a job that I adore (for now), a roof over my head, food, a wonderful traveling companion, a doggie that is the best! and friends and family that are so unbelievably supportive. What else do I need/want?
