A silent blog is not golden

OK - I've been hiding out, nine days since my last blog entry. I was having a spurt of not-so-fun entries. Time to put some spark into my blog - bring it to life.

Update on Landmark activities
I've been in a team oriented program and dealing with my personal concerns. This was sucking the life out of the team - especially when I would commit to doing something for the team and it would get lost and mired in my life concerns. So I spoke with the program manager and others about withdrawing from the program. We agreed that would be best for all.

The final night of the Sex & Intimacy seminar was on Wednesday. What opened up for me in this seminar is seeing how hidden away I keep my concerns, and I mentally create concerns for others. This keeps me distant from people when I'm working through concerns that are in my head and not real. What it opens up is intimacy - being real with what's so and acknowledging the love people share.

Update on Finances / Job
Things have really hit bottom in the money area. I have stopped a lot of electronic payments of my bills, which was saving me from collections calls and how I've been lazy around paying bills. Now I'm just unable without income.

I've got to get conversations going and move within those with actions to correspond with locking in on a job. There are a lot of follow-up actions to handle ASAP...
  • Productions Plus - listed photographer for them. Determine rates in this market
  • ACME photo - photo assistant
  • 2944 Gallery in the Bankle Building

And there is posting a resume on Monster and other job sites.

I've got to get in touch with the Unemployment Benefits office at the state and find out what I have to submit to get reinstated. These requests to repay them $5000+ of paid benefits suck - and it is just because I didn't fight for keeping things going.

I'll post a few more entiries later today.
