Sometimes, You CAN Speak It Into Existence

My last post was about my trouble with Linkedin.

This is NOT a post about resolving that.  That hasn't happened.

Fortunately, this post is about not needing bloody Linkedin, at ALL.

I am gainfully employed, once again.  It's night work, so that's awesome.  It's driving a truck, so that's awesome.  It's doing something good, every night, so that's AWESOME.

I water trees.

No, that's not a metaphor.  I really water trees for a living.  Big truck, water tank, hydraulic arm to get the water to the tree.  And they pay me for this!

The view from my new office.

It's awesome, all around.  I love that every night, my job is to make the city greener, help our trees capture carbon and generally pretty up the place.

In short, Linkedin can suck it.

Now, if I can just get that magic agent out there to love the novel submission, life will be steak and apple pie.

Glad to hear this. I, on the other hand, have just been informed that I'm being laid off. One in, one out. So it goes. Still, seriously, I'm gratified to hear that not only have you found a job but just as important, one that you like. You're the man!

Thanks, Barnum! Sorry to hear that you've been laid off, but I'm living proof that the world turns and somewhere on the other side of that, there's the next thing. Life is an adventure and no adventure was ever more interesting than when things take an unexpected turn.
Best of luck, friend Barnum!
