Lesson Number...whatever. The next one.


Ok, I know I gave a huge post warning, and then...fththththth. Nothing until now. The truth is, the events which have transpired in my life recently, I don't feel ready to share with everyone. I will, soon, when all the details are either solidified or dissolved. (I try to stay positive...) Anyway. When you're unemployed, not a whole lot happens. My wife's birthday recently happened, so now we are the same age. (For another week.)

Also, I've been loving the movie WALL-E more and more. I think it has become my current fave. Something about the way that Wall-e and Eve communicate, it illicits a rather emotional tone between them, proving that the way you say something can be just as important as what you say.
I'm a sucker for higher understanding. Ah, heck. I'll just say it:

I may have accidentally started my own business. It all started a while back when I was delivering for DHL. I had a letter going to a travel agency whose owner I had befriended. I commented on her nice car, and she responded with how much she hates driving anywhere. I told her I LOVE driving. I suggested that if she should ever need a lift to Salt Lake for those meetings she has to attend, to let me know.

Now that I am unemployed, I was searching online job sites when I remembered that conversation. So, I went to go see her. She not only said that she still hates to drive, but she knows others who share her distaste for the road. She put my name on file and we agreed on a price. Now, she considers herself my first client. She also mentioned that because she runs a travel agency, I could make little fliers and she would slip them into the travel packets. Anyone needing a lift to the airport to go on a cruise who doesn't want to leave their car at the airport for a week could call me to run them up there.

It's a lot to knock around my head for a while, but I'll let you know developments as they come. Also, any feedback, questions, suggestions, let me know.

The other thing I've been hoping is that maybe I can get a full time military job. They pay well, and you can't beat the insurance. It's something for me to think about. Anyway, I could really use all of your thoughts on this one...
