I need a new job! It seems so unfair that no matter how we get a baby (infertility treatments or adoption) it's going to cost us so much, when some people have no business having any and can just pop them out like mice. Hubby has been working on a house smaller than ours (which is not big) where there's a family with 5 kids. The work is actually being done for the landlord. The house is filthy, there are Rottweilers living there that killed a neighbor dog, cats with nasty uncleaned litter boxes, a visiting grandfather who was discussing going somewhere to get a b.j. (in front of the 12-year-old boy, and when the mother complained the grandfather said the boy was old enough to get one himself!), an unemployed father who was on the phone with the rental center talking about an upgrade on the home entertainment system... I don't want to judge people, but jiminy cricket, what is wrong here? The dad is on some kind of disability which is garnisheed for his other kids. And we can't seem to have any.

I ran into a couple of my old colleagues the other day and they gave me a couple of leads of people to call about possibly getting some freelance copywriting and voiceover jobs. I don't really think that would be a conflict of interest, as my company actually does very little advertising work, and none locally, but if it causes a problem, I will quit and get some retail work. That may be the answer anyway. The networking is definitely a big step in the right direction, I know.
