“See this is why we need to fund the public education” I said To which they promptly agreed, I also described socialist policies using conservative lingo and oh boy, let me tell you I DIED of laughter later that day. Boy I should’ve recorded that.

I haven’t written up a resume, just have my small portfolio. I’ve been bidding for insanely easy entry level stuff like rewriting documents, data entry, etc. I’ve put in about 10 bids now. No gig yet but I might…
