With our finances in ruin it's hard for me to be so excited about doing the free style work that I've been accomplishing lately. I've made a diverse network of connections that has enabled me to make little bits of money here and there all the while giving me opportunities to do the dumpster diving I bring slight bits of profit from as well. But right now we need for us both to have full time jobs because that's the most likely way we'll be able to get ourselves back on our feet. But every day is a new opportunity and there's really no telling what will happen. And if I do end up getting a full time job with a company again then at least I'll have the confidence to go back to the free lancing that I'm working on now. Only next time we should have more of a savings, more resources, and more contacts to help us along.
That's about it for now, I have a lot of things that I can get done today and i'm excited to get started but I had an idea to make this blog thing more interesting. At the end of every posting I will give a little blurb on how people can do better for the world. In this instance it's even something that really takes no extra effort.
Do Better Blurb (Working title) - If you don't recycle your cans put your empty cans back into the box that you bought them in and when you throw them away just set them to the side of the trashcan. If you feel real sporting maybe tape a note card or something to it to indicate that they are aluminum cans. I guarantee that someone will pick them up. Presently at CMC Recycling here in Springfield, MO they're .60 cents per pound. At approximately 30 cans per pound each can is worth .02 cents. And what you are doing is helping the poor help themselves and keeping them from having to actually climb into the dumpster or reach in with their grabber so they don't have to get dirty with stinky garbage. Thanks and have a great everything!
