Anyways, I would like to go back to school because my job sucks. This is to escape my crazy Drama Llama boss and some breathing-down-my-neck upper-level management and to maybe preserve a bit of my sanity. Like there's any left. At one point I thought I could quit my job for the Fall and go take classes full-time. Except Joe says there are these stupid things called money and bills and adult responsibilities. So scratch that.
Still, I thought about my ability to handle full-time work and a full classload. I expect it will go something like this:
- Cate starts classes
- Cate is excited for one week
- Cate is struggling to keep up with assignments
- Work starts putting on crazy stress
- Cate realizes she's talking about herself in the third-person again
- Someone says "could care less"
- Cate ends up rocking back and forth in a corner singing "Every Breath You Take" and eating cat hair
Joe estimates we could survive for 3 months if I
- Sell organs (research market values)
- Pimp Tonya
- Yardsale for my slightly-drooled-on stuffed animal collection
- ???
I'll admit, it's not a very good list - yet.
Actually, selling organs might be a good one. See, I still have my appendix, tonsils, and spleen. And since people are always having those things removed (my mother had her appendix out just last month!), there's probably a big market for them. Right? Right?
Okay, yeah, I'm still working on it.

If you come up with anything, let me know. The best I have thought up thusly is selling asslicks for a buck on the corner of Desperation and Whine...
I hope you figure it out. When you do let me know. Cause right now I'm working part time and will be going to school part time next month. Which I'm sure will super suck for stuff like sleeping and having fun.
Is there a way you can work a few less hours, and then use those hours for schoolwork?
Just a thought.
Or, you could do a class that involves making stuff, and then after you've shown it to your teacher, sell it for food money.
Again, just a thought.
Still have both kidneys?
Oh, and I find myself shocked that your BlogHer checks aren't paying ALL your bills by now. ;-)
I was going to say kidney´s, but then Beth already did... :)
Hope you come up with a plan!
Hmmmm, I'm with Intense Guy!
Tell Joe to donate sperm. Let HIM make 50% of your income, by, " im- cum". LOL. ew. I can't believe I typed that. Still, funny.
when you come up w/something that works on Joe, let me know what it is and I'll try it on Steve.
This is what happens to us who don't have the "kids to raise" excuse like all the other women.
I'm sure you'll come up with a great list, but the vision of you in a corner chewing on hair and singing every breath I take was hilarious!
LOL, I was reading Intense Guy's comment. I feel for you; hubby is in a similar position at his work place, hates it, lots of stress, but since he is the main breadwinner, he's got to stick around until something else comes along. I think we would be 3 months too before poverty struck. If you do find something do post it because I'm seriously thinking of something part-time
good luck!!!!
betty
There's a lot to be said for the cats getting out there and doing their part. Adult responsibilities sure can get in the way of life sometimes. Aargh!
What about those work-from-home, on-line gigs? I always get the e-mails saying it's easy-as-pie...but I don't actually know anyone that does it...
You could always give Plasma. I'm pretty sure they pay you for that junk.
Well you could do the work at home thing (even though you'd still be working and probably not make as much) - West is a company that is totally legit but it takes a few months to get hired.
You could sign up to be a surrogate but I'm not sure that would lead to less stress.
I want a work from home job too. I need to supplement my income to pay for a much desired trip to Europe to celebrate my sons high school graduation next year. And then I'll need 3X as much income to pay for my son's college bills.
So....once you figure something wonderful out, please let me know!
