I need help. For any of you who know me in “meatspace” - real life - you know how hard it is for me to say those words.

I lost my job about two months ago. It was a new job, not the one I had toiled in for the last three years. It looked promising. Instead, I found out that there were no clients, no work, and no money beyond the few months I was employed. When they told me they were letting me go, I remember thinking to myself “How did I let myself get here? I would never have chosen a partner in my personal life after only one date (interview), so why did I do it in my career?” It was a stupid move, and I blamed myself for being frivolous. I just needed a change. Something new.

By the end of 2007, I had changed my location, my marital status (yes, there are things I don’t blog about), I began to change my body, and so I wanted to change my career, too. Make a fresh start. Unfortunately, I am now without means. Totally flat broke. A little advertising here on GOTR, and some temp work, but it’s not paying the bills. Any bills. And the rent is well past due.

You know that I don’t normally ask for money for myself, unless you can benefit from it, i.e. sending me to CPAC or whatever else may be blog related. This isn’t blog-related. This is life or death. I need your help. Most cardboard boxes don’t have highspeed, so if you want to think of it as contributing to the blog, that’s fine. That would sit better with my stiff-necked pride, anyway!

The PayPal button is to your right. And thank you.
