Will work, or do anything for money!

So, as some of you know, I've been out of work for a while now. I got laid off, along with a number of other people at my company. I'm actually getting really good at putting together a fairly impressive resume packet and learning things I never would have if this hadn't happened (such as how to desperately look for a job). Hah. Actually, it has been somewhat of an adventure coming up with alternative ways to make money on the side while out of work. Here are a couple of the schemes I've tired up to this point:

Hanging off of a 420' building:

Ok, I'm about to start off the edge...


I'm about half way down, looking up at the already-cleaned windows


Donating blood plasma at Life Sera:


This is one of the plasma-sucking vampires, holding a big gulp full of my plasma


But it could be worse:


At least I'm not this guy... Crazy guy and the Real Girl.

I gotta tell you, I don't have the nerves to do the plasma thing. I had roommates that used to do that to pay for books but the thought of them taking it out and then putting back what they don't want just churns my innards. But good luck on the job search.

I know what you mean. The first few of times I did it I would get light headed thinking about the give and take relationship I had with the machine. The third time I went the girl across from me passed out, which didn't help anything on my end. But now I usually just cry myself to sleep and they wake me when I'm finished. lol, it's not so bad, and I usually just read a book (yes, I learned to read!)
