Most likely, this will make you laugh, as most tragedies do. I don't laugh because it is my life.

Right now I am as poor as I have ever been, owing money to several close friends and having no idea what to do about it. I can't even afford to eat, which being a diabetic serves as a big problem. My website is doing horribly, barley making a penny, and I am forced to look for a job, something I haven't done in a long time.

Which gives me another problem. I don't have an experience doing anything, which means I am going to end up washing dishes or if I can get the better part of the deal installing networks (which is the only thing I do have experience doing in the last few years).

Rent is due, and my friends are starving. To top it off, I just sold a book on eBay, and somehow the listing said FREE SHIPPING TO AUSTRIALIA. I have never been to Australia and think I would remember if I wrote something like that. I even checked the listing and couldn't find it. I get a complaint from someone from Australia saying that I am trying to rip someone off. I tell them I can't get rid of it because I can't even find it.

So to get back at the fact I supposedly put something like that on my listing, the person bought it, and paid no shipping. It is going to cost me money that I don't have to send it to them. I am going to have to figure something out, because the listing did say...

omg, I have lost it. What am I even saying anymore?

I feel like I have been desperate for far too long. When will it end?

    Everyone goes through hard times. While doing so it seems like an eternity. But, when looking back on it later, during better times, you'll probably laugh and think that it really didn't last that long!

    I know you feel somewhat desperate right now, but I also think that you'll find the money that you need. Hang in there!

    Hope you get the networking job!

    Hey Cricketsoda...

    I love that name, by the way.

    Your stories remind me of my poor brother, who is a grad.student in California. His 1984 Volvo just bit the dust last week, and he test-drove a van yesterday that some lady was selling for $500.  It died halfway down the street, and he came walking back to her, telling her it just stopped running in the middle of the road. 

    "What did you expect for $500 ?" she laughed.

    On a more uplifting note, I came across you name outside of Soulcast...interestingly enough as the whimsical synchronicities of the Internet often are.....

    Blessed Be!
