Remuneration


So much of my time is spent traveling to somewhere and then not getting much done. Today someone asked me when the last time I had a "real" job was, and I had to think back pretty far. I guess it depends on what you mean, but we could both agree on that. Drawing a paycheck from an organization that has a separate department just devoted to payroll.

Over four years. Since then I've probably earned an average well below $20k a year. Considering my rent, transportation and food expenses total more than $12k a year it doesn't leave much more for other expenses like utilities or debts.

Today I earned $50.00

My laundry list of financial woes. Mostly it was just interesting to talk it out and see how far from ideal the scene is.

I'm sure that things will get better. I can hope for at least different.

Maybe I should be careful what I wish for.
