i’ve updated the links in the ‘gpt sites’ section on the right. these are the sites i frequent most to make free money on the internet. the money i make from them is more significant than before, since i no longer need to rely on them to buy things i need. now, it truly is extra money. either way, they helped me get by during the time i was unemployed.

so, the year is almost over. what have i accomplished? well, i got fired from my job, and moved to another state which i actually enjoy more than california.
i still have yet to find another job. and right now, a job would make an excellent christmas present. i’m currently living off of the money i make off of the GPT sites you see to the right. it’s not much, but is enough to get me some food to eat. hopefully soon, i will find work.
i’m not going to worry about making new years resolutions right now. it’s pretty obvious what they are. i need to find work, and maybe actually start school. slacking on my projects is another issue i need to fix, and i’m already starting on that now.
i’m out of here!

At some point in November, I will be moving to Indiana. This decision has been made because I have been unable to find any work for the past three months, and I am almost out of money. I don’t know which day in November I’ll be making this move. It will probably be on the 15th. The plan is to go on some sort of road trip with a friend. He will drop me off at my destination and head to his destination. Yes, I’m going by car.
Right now, I am preparing for the move – packing up my stuff, and figuring out what I can take with me in order to reduce shipping costs. I’ll have to figure out how much my friend’s car can hold. Once that’s done, I’ll need to think of how to deal with my furniture. Obviously, I can’t take it with me. It’s more of a timing issue -when I should dismantle it and possibly sell it or donate it to Goodwill (which is kinda funny, considering that’s where I bought my desk).
You might be wondering why I chose Indiana. Not only do I have a place to stay there, but I also have a possible job opportunity. I also feel that it will give me a chance to turn my life in a new direction. Once I’m financially stable again, I plan on starting school, and doing some of the other things I said I was going to do at the beginning of this year.
Things might have turned to crap over the past couple of months, but it’s given me something to look forward to….a fresh start in a new place. Let’s hope I don’t fuck it up this time. 
it continues…

still haven’t found a job. my plans to go out this week were pretty much scrapped because my roommate accidentally took one of my shoes with him to wisconson. as a result, we both have mismatched shoes until monday. he is letting me borrow his sandals, but those aren’t exactly kosher for job interviews. xD
i tried to apply to sears yesterday, but their online application system broke during the tax questionnaire part. i’m going to try it again today, and if it fails, i’m going to go there in person. i’ve also formed a list of places where i could submit applications – based on search results from careerbuilder and craigslist. thirteen places. and two from craigslist which i’ve e-mailed stating interest. i hope i get a job soon, because after november, i will not be able to pay any of my bills. (at least, rent and utilities).
on other news, i received payment from dollarclickorsignup. it wasn’t much ($1.05), but that was because i cashed out at the bare minimum. and i registered two days before cashout day. it showed me that these sites work. i have something to do on the side that will earn me a little bit of cash. and right now, i can use that little bit of cash.
also, i’ve found a theme that will most likely stick. i like this one.
yep. still not employed.

nope. target didn’t hire me. fuckers.
this past week, i got a call from primerica financial services, inviting me to an interview. apparently they saw my resume on caljobs, and liked the fact i was a good cash register monkey or something. after research, i found that they were very bad people. so i didn’t go to the interview.
i’m continuing to submit applications to places. i should actually keep track of this shit. let’s see…hot topic, see’s candies, campus shell, safeway, rite aid, um…i forget where else. it’ll come to me. it’s the holiday season, so i need to get my name out there as much as possible. i kinda need a job, considering, i’m not getting unemployment benefits. luckily i have enough in my reserves to survive the next couple of months. assuming nothing tragic pops up.
in the meantime, i’m doing a little something to make money on the side. my sister’s blog pointed me to another blog of hers, regarding “get-paid-to” (gpt, for short) sites. all one has to do is check their e-mails, or fill out surveys, and they get a little bit of money. it’s not much, definitely not enough to live on, but it is a little extra cash to spend on lunch. i’ll find this quite useful to be able to buy food without dipping into my bank account so much. you can see a list of GPT sites i use on the right.
as for job hunting? i’m going to fill out a few online apps over the weekend ( cvs, staples, savemart… ). on monday, i’m going to go out and submit offline applications (sweet factory, gamestop, fry’s…).
