The freelance gigs were running out so I had to take a ‘day job’

I titled this website "Just a Guy Who Reads the Papers" because I wanted to emphasize that I'm no one really talented or special, just a guy who reads the papers, watches the newscasts, and tries to figure life out as he goes along. Just like you good readers.

And just like most of you reading this, I've had to get a job. Yes, you can note the big event on your Patek annual calendar watch and mark the day -- I was hired earlier this morning.

My new "day job" is one of those things that's no big deal, not really a "career" thing, but mostly just a quick way to supplement the old monthly budget. It's one of those jobs in this country that fall under the category of something like, "At least it's honest work, even if it doesn't pay much." It's a job I've done in the past, and except for the low pay it provides a real "stress-free" work environment that lets the old creative juices continue flowing to make the Internet affiliate marketing and writing career still a real long-term possibility.

But it will supplement our flagging monthly income and take relieve some financial pressures we've experience the last few months at the freelance gigs have hit a dry spell.

And, with the hours involved, once my old body becomes accustomed to them, I should be able to continue the Internet writing and Internet marketing pretty much as I have to this point.

So don't run off. I'll be around and I hope you will, too.
