After my sabbatical a miracle again

So now the temp agency I am going through has offered me a job on Saturday, my wife will be working Saturday through Tuesday. I need to come up with 700 by the 22nd to pay my power and rent, but at the end of this week I could have 400 of that, I am so pleased and happy.

In everything I do, I bust my butt. I wear my heart on my sleeve and never ever give up, I am an addict, I have mental issues, but I always, always, always apply myself no matter what.

Yes, I have degree's, I mentioning this because I am sad I went to college for 8 years and don't use them, but I am grateful I always bust my arse. So many people are willing to help and make gurantees with my wife and I because we have a stellar work ethic and are always kind and have a good word for everyone.

One thing I would like to say, is years ago I met a fellow he had a sloppy shirt, was unkempt, drunk a little and seemed out of place. He wanteder in to Compusa where i worked at the time and wanted " some computers" everyone brushed him off. He was polite, but seemed out of place, but he asked me to help him.

I like always, came from a troubled backround, and knew I was hired to help. I offered help, I spent hours with this drunken dejected guy, turns out he was the son of a prolific casino owner and had abuse issues but was a good guy. He spent over 50 k that day, and i got a 7 percent commisio plus he tipped me for helping him.

Since that day I do realize no matter what people matter, the most unsuspecting individual could of been through hell but that doesn't mean they don't have something to offer. I am so glad to this day, despite mental illness and bipolar ism, I still keep that attitude it has helped me so much. I am grateful for today, and glad I always never ever think anything bad of people and never look gifts in the mouth. Minimum wage or whatever, it could be nothing and I have something and that is a blessing.

Good day folks, never ever think you are above or below anyone, life has so much to offer when you are kind ,even the most dejected confused person has an experience you wouldn't gain lest you talk to him or her. And sometimes, just sometimes they can offer you the world!
