Today made a week that I was let go from a corporation that I must not put in this blog, so I can be assured I don’t get sued. But as they say “You can’t get blood from a rock!” or is that water... Anywho!
For the first time in 25 years I am really considering not going back into a business that I love. Maybe it’s because I hear today that yet more people were let go! Oh what’s a girl to do!
I guess I could feel sorry for myself but it’s not in my nature. See even after this I still crave to have fun on the air and entertain people! I’ve been told I am good at what I do. Being a humble person, which is very rare in this field I chose, this is why I can relate so well with those who listen. I’ve always shared my life with strangers and not had a second thought about it! I have always tried to do side work to have a little spending cash because Lord knows the average DJ doesn’t make enough to keep a little nest egg hid away. While I was working I did a blog everyday and got into the habit of it. So now here I am with no reason to get up at 3:30am in the morning!
What happened to me today?
I started my day by making $22.20! I know that doesn’t sound like a lot and really you’re right! But because I wasn’t rushed to head to work I had time to sit and think and I remembered I had set up a Paypal account a while back and checked to see how much was in it and look out I’m making money for just remembering!
I know it doesn’t sound so exciting but to me I felt like I had done something with my day! The last time I was unemployed was back in April so once I signed up for unemployment I found out I had 2 checks that had been sent back when I moved. So today I also made $550! Not too shabby for a Jobless DJ!
Before I head off to bed to get a few hours of sleep before my body tells me I need to get up and go to work, I want to share one more thing about my day today. A friend, who I met online a few years ago, caught up with me online and we played catch up for the past 2 years.
So in summary, today was a good day for this jobless DJ!
I do have other skills and Lord knows I’m not afraid of manual labor! I think right now I am going to take this time to continue to do my side voice jobs and look for more. Hey that’s where you can help me out! I will ask that you visit my site and listen to my demos and if you know anyone who is looking for someone who needs voice work then refer them to me. It could be an answering machine or service, web site or a commercial for radio or TV. I make you this promise “I won’t overcharge them for something that I love to do!”
I accept Paypal, which makes it easy to pay me! No stamps or envelopes to address and send!
