I forgot to mention that I will be getting my BA for English as well. As the goal here, is to be a part time freelance writer and author. On the side, be able to work doing marketing/sales/merchandising/temp agency type of jobs. I want the freedom to be with my family and continue opening waking up the blind people through my writing and speaking engagements. I also, do spoken word, which I believe will help down the line, at helping and healing people.
Bump!!!
I work in the fitness center for this big nondenominational church ministry place (oh the irony). It's okay though... decent pay to basically just sit at a desk and check people in, do some paperwork, take people on tours of the fitness stuff. Nice people usually come in. I run into a few idiots but not many assh**es like with other jobs I've had. We have to wear these REALLY FU**IN UGLY SHIRTS THOUGH AND I HATE THAT.
On the side I write and perform electronic music and design clothes. Only a few people at the church know that sometimes on the weekends I put a bunch of metal in my face, throw on insane clothes, and play demented electro for a bunch of fellow weirdos....
I want to get really good at making electronic music equipment though, then build one of a kind machines and sell them for lots of moo-laz and also for self use but I don't even know where to begin...
I'm still working on my personal development. My life is growing a lot faster now because of goals. "Success is all goals, everything else is commentary". I'm currently in China at the moment and just had four weeks work experience at an insurance company - haha i know a lot of you hate insurance so did I, but insurance does have a lot of benefits to society. When I come back to Melbourne I'll be working on my goals more. This year i'll be doing many speeches, at least one every week (at Toastmasters and our uni's Entrepreneurial Investment club) - I plan on being a professional speaker as a potential path. I'm also starting to sing a lot in my spare time - utilising the diaphragmatic way of breathing and projecting your voice - and i can incorporate this into my dancing too 
I'm thinking of working for my parent's migration business as a salesperson and marketing person and move out this year - probably thinking of buying a property instead of renting but I still need to read more about Real Estate and do heaps of research on the market. For some reason I want to start a business of some kind.. if I have time amongst my third year university studies and speeches.. I just want to have passive streams of income for myself. Growing and owning a business is a way that I think would be good for me to have this. I value time freedom a lot so I don't really want to work like 40 hour weeks doing stuff other people give me. Employees are leveraged by the system, business systems leverage people. So if I fail great, at least I would have tried and learnt a lot.
Well, this was bumped by MisterEThoughts, thanks.
Great to read the sharing of what you folks do, made me smile this morn.
I have been opening up quite a bit more here...
might as well "open up" some more : )
Good morning for it...it is snowing steadily out there!
I have been building residentially and commercially about all my adult life.
This past year has been focused on re-awakening my within-ness and helping others in my life that have an interest to see and re-awaken their own within-ness.
What I use to do has become secondary, but of course, still allows me to bring in what I need in the 3d world, and for that I am grateful.
Here is a two-tier circular deck with 1/3 wrap-around stairs facing an outdoor concrete patio. I built this for some good friends a few years ago. Wonderful to be able to get creative like this at times when the freedom is there to do so...very gratifying.
Kinda like the gratification in helping others help themselves see their inner connections to the cosmos in these wonderful times of change!
Seeing and feeling the self-artistic creation all around...if yaknowhatImean!
^ That's really cool!
Wow! Hey DanB, do your friends need a tired guest from 15 million populated - crowded and heavy-traffic city? I must warn though; this guest is planning to change everything in his life so he may stay a bit long!
Lyra! I would like to find out more about your temp jobs (how they work, how you get them, what sites you visit and so on). Currently, I do marketing/sales and merchandising for companies such as Magellan(GPS) Vonage, Sony, Creative, NVIDIA and many others. I would like to get into a temp agencies and be able to combine the Marketing/Sales, Merchandising with Temp agency jobs. It will give me the freedom to continue working on my books and my freelance writing business. Currently, I am also, trying to move out with my girlfriend and we are thinking about kids and such. I am finishing up College and receiving my AA for English. I already received my communication certificate and will need 2 classes, to get my technical writing certificate. What ideas,tips,books or websites do you have to offer in order for me to dig into this field.
Also, do you think that a guy can do this agency thing? Sometimes, I get the idea, that people are biased against guys doing this type of work.
Thank You! SO MUCH!
My Web Site:
Hello there. I don't think Lyra keeps track of this thread anymore, so don't be offended that she hasn't replied. She may not realize you've posted directly to her. I believe that the type of temp work she is doing is just the standard temp services that you can find in every major city. I've worked at several of them in my town. Anybody can work for them, if you can pass certain tests. In my town, the temp services place people in factories for the most part, as well as clerical/administrative work. That's what Lyra's talking about. And yes, they hire men at the same rate as they do women.
It sounds like you need a different type of temp agency. An ex-boyfriend of mine worked as a contractor in a more technical-type field, but it was thru some kind of temp agency. They are specifically for tech jobs and the contracts usually last 6 months or longer. You won't likely find your type of work by going to a regular temp agency, although it's always good to call them and find out if they have work in your arena. It depends on who it is and what city you're in. We had to move to the biggest city in our state for his (the ex) job.
You might try looking online, like at Monster.com, for something like you're talking about. Or do a search on 'temporary jobs, technical' just for example. Just fill in the blank with what job you want. You can get pretty specific in the search engine.
Good luck to you.
Hey DanB. I LOVE your work! What an excellent job. I wish I had a big house like that. I'd have you come and build me a deck like that one!
Maybe I could just come to your friend's place with Ferit!! 
That deck is BAD ASS.
DanB,
You do awesome work in both realms! Isn't it great to have a customer who appreciates the aesthetic qualiites in life?
Thank You... Titmouse_, Lenore Lapin, Seeking the Truth, Feritciva, Daisy and All! : )
I love the sharing on this thread of mixing and balancing work in our 3d world while being tuned into the spiritual and etheric worlds. You know what, for me personally, the spiritual and etheric ARE what mix into and balance work so that it naturally becomes an extension of our hearts...more and more...as the energy of the heart seems to be more of what is 'out there' and becoming clearer and more defined and connecting more and more folks to the 'heart' of the matter, which is really what matters. I am excited every new day to be in such an energetic realm that really is opening up right in front of us with such vibration that a new spiritual experience can be had through everything we do.
If that sounds fluffy...well, I'm full of fluff then, HaHa! Gotta go catch the sunrise!;)
Sooooo, as Seeking the Truth asked through this thread...
What do YOU do for a living?
I am a handyman; I help fix people and things. I often work for those who don't have enough. I demonstrate to them by example that there are people in their world that can be trusted. It takes a completed project for them to realize that I was there for them as much as I was there to earn a living and to personally express the quality imbedded in my gifts.
TEMP AGENCIES FOR THE WIN !
One time i worked in this place, where my job was: Give a skid of materials to the people in production using my forklfit truck when they ask for it.
In a 8 hour shift, they hardly came once or twice. Till then for the most part i was in the office. Reading all the pdf books i could.
I'm a Dell Campus Rep, and just promoted to a Gaming Rep at Ball State University. I got a free XPS 1210 to demo, and soon to be an XPS 1730. I mainly hand out flyers, promo items and work at a kiosk at the bookstore.
Also I work for the University Computing Services imaging 11 labs on campus, promoted from a lab assistant. My major is Management Information Systems and I'm a 4th year Junior. It may seem like im a motivated person, but deep down im apathetic and I pretty much hate it. I'd rather live in a cabin like Thoreau or be a wanderer like Chirs McCandles, but that's not going to happen any time soon...
I'd like to move west after college, never get married and have no kids. That's my plan.
