Virtual Jobs

Well, I started job hunting online. Fast thing to learn...avoid the "get paid to take surveys" scheme, fell for 1, now my maibox has 3 times the amount of junk mail. The legitimate ones are free, the scam sites ask you to pay a membership to take surveys which you then "get paid for".

I'm doing research on virtual jobs. Like customer service/care representative online and such. Since I didn't finish high school, it's going to be tough to find a company willing to hire me. But then...if a restaurant hires wetbacks like me to wash their dishes...why not answer the phone or emails?

I think investing on a laptop may come in handy, it would break whatever I have saved but if it helps me keep an online job, it would probably pay for itself within a month or so.

I need to get my ass back on track, for too long I've stood on the corner watching my life go by...

The good news these days is that I'm sticking to my diet, lost 6 pounds and I intend to lose 20 more. I want to fit back in my 34 pants, heh.

Funny thing, that before I got married I ate normal portions of food. I was used to grandma's cooking. She didn't like microwaves even before she got her bypass and the doctors prohibited one in the house.

Man, she would cook a good amount of food, for 2-3 days, but god...good home cooking! hell she even would go upstairs to our neighbors and hand them a plate of food!

They loved her.

Of course back then I would get on my bike every couple of days, to visit my friend Ian. I think that is what kept me in decent shape and not overweight.

Hmm, 7am. Better stop before she wakes up.
