New year, new hope?
I dont know how 2007 was for everyone else, but it was unending hell for me and my family.
I wont get into too many details, but the average job\contract i worked paid between $40 and $52 an hour. sounds pretty good, right? Problem is, they were so few and far between that i made under $30,000 last year, not good when you are the sole source of income for a family.
We sold our house, but at a loss. More than we paid for it, but we put a ton of money into rennovating it and didnt get shit back.
My new computer died 4 times in a single year, irritating only if it werent HOW i am making my money. And although i have a work around, that fucked up this morning and i have to start all over.
I am trying desperately to see 2008 as a better year than 2007, but I only have so many more kicks in the nutsack left before i start giving up hope.
On the plus side, the family is healthy, our dog rocks, and the job search is pciking up again. I am hoping for full time because this freelance/consultant gig isnt panning out.
Does anyone need a website or program, by the way? my rates are listed above, although i might be able to cut a deal.
