I have just made the rounds thru several blogs. All seems normal. Still the same problem, not all the same people.
Please forgive the spelling errors in my hurried comment on some posts. It has been a while since I have blogged!
Glad to see some people are still around, and some have come back. I may have to come back for awhile. I am currently unemployed once again. Imagine that, will you. 
As if you all could not see that coming. But with the state of the economy approching 10%, here in the states, it is tough.
Mav is still rambling along. Drop me a comment.

For those that have followed my employment stuggles over the last couple of years, there is good news.
I have a full time job, and have just pasted the milestone of the first 90 days!!! 
It is really weird going to a 9-5 job again. After 2 years of straight unemployment. I really don't like the constant day in and day out. The daily grind very quickly gets to me. But so far there have been enough unusual things happening to keep me busy.
You ask what type of job is it? It is right up my alley!! I am working with reptiles and fresh/salt water fish. I am in charge of all daily care and feeding of around 40 reptiles. Even a few alligators. I really love those guys.  I have to keep two huge 8000 gallon tanks clean and nice for the saltwater fish and separate freshwater fish. This includes all the filtration and scrubbing.
So, right now I am 'content'. I still want more, but will hold on for now.
Just some current ramblings from Mav.

Well, what has changed?
For me, nothing. Still unemployed. Still trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life. Very depressed that I can not find work, and of ALL the resumes, email applications, cover letters, just going and stopping by - I see the people that have the jobs!!! Ugh!!!  (not saying anything about the employed kind folk of this here web site, just some of the general population!!!  )
I have been very busy with raising about 3000 koi fry to 4-5 inch fish. The spawning this year has produced some very nice fish. I may have to enter them in our local koi show in March of 2008.
These temps in the mid to high 90's are getting old, very fast. It is just too damn hot to do anything out side. I have to keep track of how many t-shirts I soak thru each day!!
I am currently living the life of a hermit. With no extra funds, it is very hard to go out anywhere. At least the gas prices have come down some. Just dropped below 2.60 here per gallon. Still can't go anywhere. 
I have grown some wonderful water lilies this year. Decided to use the surface space above the koi fry for something!! ( see picture )
Working this site without a silver/gold ball is a pain in the ass. If I could just find work to pay for me to be amused!! 
Thanks for dropping in and checking on me. I am still around. Just in a kind of limbo - a holding pattern.

I am trying to see how to work around this system with out having any "ball"! No silver or gold for me.
They make all these fancy features - email, notes, etc., etc. And the place is still just busting with fakes! Sorry, no more money from me.
Fix this shit.
Oh, well. Anyone with some secrets out there? I know that you ladies get all the free treatment. Or tell me I am wrong?
Later -

<<< I feel very much like I belong here!! With all the other misfits!!
Yep, the job lasted all but a week. Then it was "your not the right fit for that position" and "your just way to over qualified". So, out the door I went.
I have been looking constantly, but no luck.
It is now time for me to start thinking about my koi. Spring is here and time to think about breeding them and the fry grow out. That should take some of the pressure off my mind. But damn, I have not money! Ugh!
How is everyone? I see that several people have come back, again! 
And I see that some have left. Until you see my profile disappear, I will always check back in.

Or the rabbit in the picture to the left!! LOL!!
I GOT A JOB!!!!!
One day to spare before the gavel was to fall on my house lease renew! Someone must be watching me, but not that closely and only using spare change of good wishes that are not completely fulfilled. Because I just skinned by.
So, thanks for all the good wishes - but the poor folk in the center of Florida have a whole other year to put up with ME. Even though no one has contacted me for a meet or even SEX!  Can you imagine. Hmmmmm.....
Well, just wanted to drop in for a check. Hey, has anyone seen Magahee? I saw that he had a new identity, but that seem to begone too. Damn, you hook up with a hot physical therapist and presto!! On goes the shot leash!! I really thought he had bigger balls than that. Interesting. 
See y'all around the ranch,
Mav

And I will be leaving Orlando. Could not find a job to save my life.
And right now.. living for....?
My background info must be just soooo messed up that no one wants to hire me.
I got the news tonight, that I will not be renewing my lease and moving to Ohio, the numbness and sick to the stomach feeling in in full effect. I will have to see what a new day brings, but not hopeful.
Mudd .... Mav in hell.

<<< Some stupid picture.
Well, down to the wire. 2 more weeks to get a job and keep it. I swear, I should be playing the lottery!! With as bad as my luck is for getting a job, maybe I can win something.
Still looking, and through the holidays, it was just awful. Everything was on hold.
I did a brief stint as a commercial diver at night, cleaning the animal ponds at Disney. CRAZY!! That lasted all of 4 days. Left due to the night shift, safety concerns, and being forced not to work. Yea, yea.. if you are the kind of person that can get paid to just sit around - good for you. I CAN"T! I have to stay busy.
Well, I hope everyone had a great new years and is starting the year off strong. I am going to go and get a few Santeria candles to light and see if I can change my luck on the job front. Desperation is long gone, now bordering on lunacy.

I have been taking on several freelance art jobs. Some for t-shirts and a few for logo designs.
The t-shirt designs, I started off all excited and really willing to try some new ideas. But now with with the 3rd go around, and nothing that I have shown is even in theses ideas, I am at my wits end. I the one producing the art is the one on the bottom that gets the crap beat out of him!!! Everyone else is making good money to develop these designs, except the artist. I am doing all this out of my own pocket and time. Now, I am just like, ok where do you want the dot, just tell me and I will put it there. All life is gone. I will only do what they tell me, nothing extra.
That is how artists get burnt out. No, creativity.
UgH!!!!

Well, my constant job hunting is taking its toll. I am heading for a full blown break down.
The constant stress and nervousness of not having a current job, are getting to me. My neck has been bothering me for the last few days. It seems to go away later in the day. But right off the bat, in the morning, it is very painful.
This week I have sent out 4 resumes. And have two local "job hunts" working to see where they might be able to place me.
