So I'm out on my own, trying to make a buck or two and unfortunately that's about all I've earned in the last two months.

Well, It's been a little more than that. How about I said I earned as much in two months as I used to earn in one week? That's a little more accurate.

Still: Ouch.

But no bailout money for me. No Unemployment. Just hard work, which is something I'm not really good at doing. Where are the jobs that pay me to play video games? Surf the web? Drink Mountain Dew? I've never found that job.

Actually, things are beginning to fall into place. It's been a slow time putting the "back end" of my business into place but I now have several vendors lined up and I'm partnering with one of the local telephone companies to provide MAC (Moves, Adds, and Change) work for their existing customers and as a reference to install new phone systems.  Pretty sweet deal, really.  It's not actual money in my pocket, but it does give me some good networking opportunities and more chances to sell and install systems. God is Good.

I told someone this week that I'd rather be lucky than good. I don't remember where I first heard that but it seems to fit me pretty well. You can review my "2 by 4" Moment which I think explains it mostly. By "luck" I mean "God is awesome and did something" so don't go thinking I believe in anything else. If the proverbial "they" can redefine the words we use then so can I.

Anyway, little opportunities like this keep falling into my lap without much effort on my part. Now I have to start acting on them since God won't just issue me a check or hand me a winning lottery ticket.  I must admit that sometimes that sounds really, really appealing (see a couple of paragraphs up about my dream job) but I know that sort of event really, really will not happen.

So fun and excitement continue around here.
