I was finally contacted by Wal-Mart for my orientation and I think I'm getting a loan for $5,000.
I've been running around, sending off things like car registration and such to One Main Financial.
I was hoping for a personal loan but it looks like I'll have to put the car up for collateral again.
The credit union wasn't willing to look at a loan for me for a few months; now it looks like I'll get one right away. I'll get out of my payday loan and my high interest credit cards.
If things work out well maybe I'll be able to go pan for gold again. I want to go to Lee's Ferry in Arizona since Bix Weir says there is tons of gold in the Grand Canyon. Lee's Ferry is where the guy who found all the gold in the bottom of the Grand Canyon staged his operations in the early 1900's.
I want to start there this time. If I don't find gold, there, I'll head out to Sawyer's Bar in California. I belong to the gold mining club that has claims there and it looked to me like there was gold there.
I start my new job this Tuesday. I hope to have some money to buy pants and shoes for the new job.
I'm anxious about being up to unloading trucks all night. We'll see how that goes. If I can stick it out I should be able to get into shape for gold prospecting.
On the political front, it looks like Trump is a disappointment. Maybe it's all part of a sophisticated game he's playing but it looks like he was suckered into bombing the Syrian airport. He's acting like a neoconservative (otherwise known as "war monger"). Of course, that makes him popular with the news media. I hope he is putting one over on everybody. We'll see.
Not much is happening at Java John's tonight. There's no music and nothing going on. I'm listening to Clannad on Pandora. I think I'll watch some of my negative YouTube videos.
Later.

I'm not giving up on Time Travel
I intend to go back in time and buy a bunch of bitcoins.
I know that I'm labeled as being crazy and this is probably another delusion but I remember encountering my future self in 2010 and I was busy with computers, buying bitcoins.
It's up to my present self to make that happen.
Of course, if, or should I say, when, I succeed I'll be rich. If I remember correctly bitcoins were selling at four cents a piece. They now sell for around $1,160.00 each. I'll be a millionaire.
I consider matter to be an illusion so it's simply a matter of seeing myself in the past, and then I will find myself there.
It's really simple and easy but like everything else I have to make a big production out of it.
Today I was reading a book by Robert Collier named "Riches within your Reach" or something like that.
In it Collier describes how people with very humble beginnings lean on God to achieve great things. Their disadvantages turn into advantages because they don't have a comfortable existence to fall back on. Instead they lean on God to help them.
I feel that one of the things that's holding me back is that I don't really have a great purpose. Thomas Edison had inventing the light bulb driving him. Napoleon had conquering Europe as a purpose.
I intend to open up a shop for preppers in Decorah. I feel that it's a noble goal and altruistic. Even if the currency doesn't collapse it's a good idea to be ready for a large variety of things.
The act of preparing for something like the currency collapse helps people be more ready for things like a pandemic or electo magnetic pulse. If you get ready for one thing you are getting ready for a variety of things as a side effect.
Maybe there is a more sensible way to open up such a shop that doesn't include time travel but I don't know what it would be.
I can't do it "out of pocket" because I don't have the money. Nobody will lend me money for such a thing because I'm labeled as crazy and I don't have good credit. My age also works against me. Finding gold in California didn't work out very well.
To me, time travel seems to be the proper alternative.
I'll keep you posted on how it works out.

Wal-Mart Hired me.
When I finally added minutes to my phone it turned out the Wal-Mart had been trying to get a hold of me for the last 2 weeks. I drove out to their store and they told me that they would hire me for a second shift job.
It only pays $9.00/hr. but that is what I was getting at the telemarketing job. I think I'll prefer working at Wal-Mart to selling on the phone. I'm glad I've gotten the job.
I went to my old job this morning and told them that I was offered the Wal-Mart job. They let me leave without holding me to the 2 week notice. Now I'll be able to work at Wal-Mart as soon as my background check comes through.
On a different track, Donald Trump disappointed most of his supporters by attacking the Syrian government. It should be obvious to the most casual observer that the sarin attack was some sort of "false flag" thing. Ron Paul was the only person who pointed out that it wasn't in the interest of the Syrian government to use poison gas. Does anyone remember that the Syrian government destroyed it's stockpile of chemical weapons two or three years ago? Why doesn't anyone think that ISIS might have poison gas?
I think we now know that Donald Trump is either an idiot or he's a "swamp critter". I guess we shouldn't be too surprised; after all they pulled the same trick with Barak Obama. We all thought that he was different and would save us. It's all a game.
By the time someone has acquired enough political clout to run for president he is probably totally corrupted.
I find that I'm incredibly gullible. Of course, nobody else who ran was any better; it's just that the whole system is evil.
I'm the same way with investing. I keep thinking that precious metals will save me but they never do. Maybe I need to change my paradigm again but I don't know what to change about it.

I'm able to pay my bills.
The money coming in from the new job is enabling me to keep current on my bills. I'm going to be able to scrape by for another month.
I went to a coin auction last Sunday. I blew it by buying coins without really knowing when they changed from being 90% silver to being 40% silver and then going to 0% silver.
I bought a bunch of coins that I thought were 40% silver and it turned out that they had no silver in them. I'll use them for the washing machines. There is no coin shop near here so that's all they're good for as far as I'm concerned.
Not much is happening here. I'm working every week day. I'm not getting many sales but nobody else is either.
I'm looking for another job but nothing is showing up.
The car is still running but it's got a cracked windshield and it's starting to make whining noise. I also have to put air into the right, front, tire every 3 days. I just hope it keeps running.
It's "open mike" night at Java Johns so I'm hanging out at the co-op. It's quiet here and I'm drinking coffee and eating yogurt. The yogurt is selling at a massive discount so I'll have two small containers.
There is another coin auction next Sunday. I'll be more careful there.
I think I'll sign off for now.

I did lose my job.
I lost my job for one day when I told them I wouldn't work the new program.
They called Manpower within a couple of hours and hired me back at the old program.
I still have to drive 1 hr. one way for a telemarketing job but at least I can pay my bills for a while.
I'll be looking for a new apartment in Monana, next month. It's too far to drive and maybe I could sell the car if I could walk to work.
On a different topic, Dan is paying me $100 of the $200 he owes me.
If I can get a cash advance on a credit card I'll be able to catch up at the credit union to the point that at least I'm not over drawn.
I'm waiting to hear from Dan; he's driving from 50 miles away. He's in Winowa.
I'm going to see about the cash advance.

i may lose my job tomorrow.
I got put on a different program today.
Basically we are brow-beating little old ladies into paying hundreds of dollars for skin cream that they claim the never ordered.
I tend to believe them when they say they never ordered the product. I'm thinking that someone has hacked the web page where they allegedly bought the product.
I told Lori at Manpower that I wanted off of the program. I'll stay there if they want me to on other programs; but I think they'll let me go.
At least I got a week and a half of work in. I'll be looking for another job, soon.
The lack of snow this year really messed me up. I have to remember that "God provides".
I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.

I got my First Sale.
I started my telemarketing job last Tuesday. The first couple of days were spent in training and doing paperwork.
Friday afternoon I finally got a sale. Actually I'm doing pretty well. It's hard to get people to buy anything over the phone, so getting 1 sale for a day and a half of work isn't doing all that badly.
Things are looking a lot better for me, financially. I've got a tough week ahead while I'm waiting for my first check, but I'll get through it. I've got food and enough money for gasoline to get to work.
This year has been bad for me because there was just no money to be made, shoveling snow.
I feel that I'm caught in a "debt trap". I keep borrowing money to pay bills but I don't have enough money to get out of debt. Instead of paying off debt I'm just paying the interest on that debt.
The United States government is in the same situation. There doesn't seem any way out of debt. I'm a "debt slave". All I'm working for is going to credit card payments and such.
On a related topic, I would like to sell my etchings for bitcoins. I have a bunch of etchings, done by Malcolm Childers, that I would like to sell. I've had them listed on Ebay. I go through the Game Exchange here in Decorah to sell them. I don't really have the time to watch the auctions myself so I pay a commission to the Game Exchange to list them for me.
If you are interested in buying some nice etchings, especially if you want to use bitcoins to buy them just leave a comment here and I'll arrange something.
That's pretty much all I have for now.
I haven't mentioned that I have 3 computers ready to sell. I almost had 4 but one of them gave up the ghost. I need a battery for a couple of them but I'll buy them with the money from the new job next Saturday.
