However, I am still on what seems to be the futile search for gainful employment in these tough economic times. being unemployed and having bills that won't quit can be very depressing at times, trust me it really gets depressing at times. However, I still have a lot to give thanks for as I still am able to pay my bills and eat. I have had to make adjustments to my expenses and what and where I eat in a bid to reduce spending, even though JPS still seems to elude me despite my best efforts. I have also had time to work on my photography which is improving with my somewhat limited photographic resources. So I guess even in the thick gloom of my unemployment there are a few faint rays of light shining through. Now I just hope i can land a few good paying photo gigs to earn some funds.
Nevertheless, with the help of God the Almighty, I am still staying afloat in the turbulent seas. I know there are a lot of persons in my position and also some who are in a worse off position than me, so I still give thanks between my bouts of feeling down. But "where there is life there is hope and where there is God there is help!"... wait, mi just come up with a quote! Brap! Brap!... So I'm holding the faith and taking things one day at a time.
badly happens with poor..!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I just didn't 'click' that times were bad in Jamdown.
ReplyDeleteA lot of folks here have their own businesses but you have to have real good money management skills. I work for myself, doing private tutoring.
If having your own dot com will help you sell your skills, that's a good idea to have one.
Good luck, Stunner.
You'll get through it, you must be networking but keep at it.
ReplyDeleteSomething will pull through
Stunner,
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize it had been that long. It must be very hard indeed. I can't think of what to say that won't be meaningless platitudes but remember it is darkest just before the dawn
Wow a year and u still living the same place paying higher bills and eating! U gotta dispel that secret, maybe have a workshop and tell ppl how u do it, that surely will garner some funds.But im proud of u. Not many Jamaicans can do that but as ity and fancy cat says when Jamaicans nah mek nuh money we find a way to mek money.
ReplyDeleteMaybe ur job expectations are too high. In this day and age ur not gonna get a good deal anywhere. Companies stop offer pension funds, insurance etc, everybody on contract now. Do wat u can even if its small. Every mickle mek a muckle
As I said on another forum I wanna be like you when I grow up .If I lose my job I know I won't be living it up like you still:)
ReplyDeleteI hope something happen soon for you
