I still haven’t had any hits on a full-time job and time is running out to make ends meet for June. I’m grabbing every little contract I can.
Today, I’m spending about four hours counting cars for a traffic survey, from 7AM to 9AM and from 4PM to 6PM. The morning shift flew by! There was a lot of traffic so learning to use the counter device and coordinate my fingers kept my mind occupied. I hope to be more accurate this afternoon. The most important thing I learned is to not drink a giant coffee if you’re going to be sitting in a car for two hours. 🙂
I also have an extra day of flier delivery this week, so that will help the bottom line.
One thing I’m having to do this month that I hate is be very aggressive with my accounts receivable. I did a contract for someone who has tons more work for me, but she is ignoring every email where I ask about being paid for the first batch. Needless to say, I don’t have time to waste with someone who has no intention of paying me!
I still can’t believe I’ve been here almost eight weeks and haven’t had a nibble, not when I’ve been employed in much smaller markets in much less time!
