Still Hanging on to the SeedSavers Job.

I worked my second week at Seed Savers, today.
I got paid for my first week and spent most of it paying a credit card. At least I have money to live on this week.
Next week I hope to get my windshield replaced. It's had a large crack for the last couple of months.
I got the motor home sold but I have to take payments for a few months. Not only is it good to have some income from that, but I feel good to be out from under it.
It just took too many repairs and it never did run good. Now it's someone else's problem. I hope it works out for him.
I'm stiff and tired from working; yesterday I had to carry several fifty pound sacks of seed from one end of a building to another. It wore on my back and I had to sit down as much as I could, yesterday.
Well, I only have 4 or 5 more weeks at Seed Saver's; I should be able to handle it.
At the end of November I'll be shoveling snow. That will be harder, anyway, since we are expecting a bad year for snowfall. Of course, that means I'll be making a lot of money.
I need to get back to time travel and make all sorts of money with Bitcoins. I don't know if I mentioned it here but I have memories of encountering a future me back in the year 2010. He spent a lot of time messing with computers and he had a car with a license plate from 2017. I think he ended up with a lot of Bitcoins. He told me that I shouldn't invest since it was all rigged, but he knew that I wouldn't listen, anyway.
I've got to change my intro since I wiped out at panning gold, I sold my motor home and they never called me to do any driving for the VA. I just need to eliminate those things as well as any mention of Ebola since that sizzled out.
Conner is playing the piano here at Java John's so I think I'll clean up my intro and start listening to him.
Later

I Started my new Job at Seed Savers.

I took the job at Seed Savers. They are an internationally known heirloom seed producer.
My first few days I worked in shipping and processing garlic. 
It wasn't that hard. I was tired but I felt that I could get used to it.
Today was different. I went out to the field with a crew to harvest tomatoes. I almost passed out. I was out of breath and sweating profusely. There were several times that I was dizzy. 
I worked an hour and a half and took the rest of the day off.
I think part of my problem is that I've had pneumonia several time and my lungs have a lot of scar tissues. I also had to do a lot of squats to get to the tomatoes on or near the ground. I don't have the strength in my legs that I used to. 
I'm going back to work tomorrow. I hope they keep me; I need the money.
Talking about money; I sold one of my etchings on Ebay today. I sell them through a place called The Game Exchange. I'll get a little more than $30. I really need it now. 
With the few days that I've worked, and payment for my motor home, I should be able to make my bills for this month. After that, I'll have to find another job. 
If I can get through to the end of November, I'll make plenty of money, shoveling snow. 
We'll see what happens.
Later.

Waiting to hear about Two Jobs

Tomorrow I'll hear about whether I get one of two jobs I applied for.
The first one is a computer tech job I've been trying to get for the last month or so; the second is at a place called "Seedsavers exchange". They ship heirloom seeds throughout the world.
I would like to get either of the jobs.
The Seedsavers job only lasts a couple of months but that would get me through a rough patch for me. By the end of November I should be able to make enough money, shoveling snow, to pay my bills for the next 3 or 4 months.
I think the computer tech job is part-time which is great for me.
Last week I applied for a manufacturing job.
I blew it by asking if I could work part-time.
I'm kind of glad that I didn't get the job. It sounded too physical to me; and the plant gets rather hot since there is no air conditioning. I don't think I would be up to it.
I sold some of my precious metals yesterday to keep up with my credit cards. I hated to do it but I figured that the metals would  be taken from me if I had to declare bankruptcy anyway.
I'm trying to sell everything I have just to keep up with my credit card payments.
That's just one of the problems of being poor. Even if you get ahead a bit it will be taken away from you. It always works that way.
I'd like to break that cycle. I just don't know how.
I've tried investing but I always lose since I'm not a Rothschild or Rockefeller. I'm just a poor schmuck who gets cleaned out every time I invest in anything.
