Job hunting in New Orleans really sucks right now
In case you haven’t gathered from my previous posts, job hunting in this city really sucks at the moment. Really. Unless you want to wait tables, work in a hotel or start a career in fast food in the suburbs, there’s not much happening. I went to talk to the guy at Trax yesterday and although messengering sounds like a fun gig… 5.50 an hour isn’t enough to pay my rent and say… eat as well.
I’m getting my buttons online, but I doubt I can make a living on that. lol I’m also going to be putting my t-shirts up again. I have a new Brakes Suck one that I just sprayed to see if I like it. I like it. It’s all bright yellow and brown and red. Yay.
C’mon, you know you want it.
E-mail me for details.
Other than that I’m just bummed out in general, reading about just how fucked up this city is.
Starting to wonder if my future should be held in a different city.
It’s dawning on me how much I doubt New Orleans will ever get it’s shit together. Perhaps the Saints are a metaphor for the city as a whole. So much potential, so much promised, so much loyalty… but we all know we’re still gonna be disappointed at the end of the season.

read my experiences, I went from IT Director to nothing..
http://www.realnola.com and http://thekatrinaexperience.blogspot.com
I cant find a job to save my life. My family was turned down for EVERYTHING including food stamps because my Wife has a business LLC that is folding and costing us money not making money.
We were first responders, what a slap in the face but I would do it again if another Katrina class storm came through. I cant blame people for being victims and those that need help will always get it from me if I can give it. Its a shame that I cant find a good job here in town. My whole issue with losing my job was over racism and descrimination because of my skin color and that was said CLEARLY to me by the newly elected Chief Judge David Bell and he has a criminal history of some sex thing and something involving theft.. Go figure, the great politics of the great city of new orleans.
