Jobbie Hunting




Folks the news is grim. The economy is in the crapper. Layoffs are happening every day. Unemployment numbers are through the roof. Many jobs are now frozen. I know this first hand. And the holidays are fast approaching, a time when employers typically are not talking to new people. And it is getting cold. And dark.



What to do? Drink? Rage? Blame it on the man?
I think it is the time get rid of clutter, get some sleep and exercise, enjoy the beauty of this time of year and ...think differently.

Change always breeds creativity out of necessity. The old ways die, but new ideas break through the permafrost. Always.

WHAT are we not thinking of? What is out there that I can be the guy for? Who needs what?

I also say TALK to as many people as will listen about what you are looking for if you know. Even if you don't, talk to people and tell them that you want to be an astronaut but you are willing to do anything.

Volunteer to hang lights.

Also try out a new church, club. Seriously. Meet new people. Life is telling you to shake it up. Stick out your paw and say "Hi!" People need you to be nice to them. They will welcome your kindness and want to help.

So--

Clean your house. Shave. Go out and help your fellow man.

And pray your ass off.
