Lets see, need a new couch, dresser, Adobe Photoshop and Flash upgrade, computer, kitchen remodel, main door, garage door opener, dishwasher…eh um, I need to win the lotto.<\/p>\n
A former co-worker approached me for a freelance gig which I reluctantly took. I am very stingy with my free time and really the project was a little beyond me (which I quickly redid at more my speed with similar results). Anyway, I got that money coming and potential other freelance work.<\/p>\n
At work another former co-worker wanted me to pass along her resume. I did and she got the job! My company has a job referral program that if you referred someone to a job and they got hired, you get $1,000. Yah! Then I read the rules, it said that the person you referred had to have been away for 18 months. I asked Mia and she said it had been 15 months. Aww come on man, 3 months separates me from $1,000. Oh well, we will see if they let it through. I can only hope.<\/p>\n
And one more stab at $1,000. My company had a photo contest of all things. I entered 29 photos. On Nov 1, they announce who wins the $1,000 first prize. I doubt it will be me thought because the images I entered were more in line with stock images which really prompted the contest in the first place. I am sure the winner will be some breathtaking sunset or something. I could still see some money in the yet to be established price they will pay for non winners that they still want to use. We will see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
