Whenever I become focused on trying to get money into the house my wife misreads it as depression and anger. Why can't I just be focused and productive? I'm happy when I am focused and productive! I've hand delivered a resume with cover letter and work samples today. I've emailed another submission. I've been on the phone with a contractor about our french drain. I've talked to 1 recruiter and now have him submitting me for a 4-6 month contract that I'm ideal for (granted, this recruiter bills out lower than I should be but that's still more than I'm making now). I've left messages for another recruiter and for a business contact that I have a history of getting work from. A depressed angry person doesn't have a productive morning--my morning has been productive!
