It has brought to my attention that I haven't updated in a while. Some of you have been concerned for me. I appreciate that.
I wish I could report that I hit the lottery or married rich or something equally as fund-enhancing, but no, nothing of the like. Instead, I got a 3 week gig working for a well known department store flower show. Meaning when the store closed, I came in and watered and traded out spent plants and generally made sure things looked good for the shoppers. At the time the gig was offered the pay rate of $18/hr seemed like a godsend. Except when I got the first check and realized exactly how much of that check went to taxes.
Let me just point out one thing: after trying to work a "legitimate" job for a month I'm sad to report that I make more money working less hours at creepy fetish club.
So where is the incentive to not do it?
