Ahh I love this. My dad is a salesman. My brother is a salesman. My uncle is a salesman. Both my grandpas were salesmen. My great-grandpa was a
salesman.

Nice enough men, but I eventually learned to not to trust a word out of any of them.

And oh how I can relate to freelancing/budget woes. Freelancing flat out SUCKS sometimes. I feel like I spend more time drumming up the work than doing the work and getting paid.

Dark humour! Gallows humour! Humour in the face of overwhelming odds that are overwhelming for a very good reason! I love it! So Monty Python, you know? Like that song in Life of Brian: “Still I must admit/Life’s a bit sh**” whistle the crucified people.

Hi Im new to your site so please excuse me if this is out of order but http://www.getafreelancer.com often has small writing projects on there. Its not great but its something and you wouldnt have to talk to anyone cheerful.

That weird cheerfulness thing is what scares me most about lots of (not all!) evangelical Christians. I had strangers say to me on my Baptist college campus, “smile! Jesus loves you!” And I wanted to scream “how do you know my mother didn’t just drop dead!?! Don’t tell me to smile, freak!”

Hostile? yeah, that was me in college.

You can always do a little corporate writing…usually quick jobs and decent pay.

I’m just sayin’.
