The opportunity of underemployment
Wednesday, March 10, 2004

For the last 37 years, I've known I was going to be a writer, but I've rarely actually sold any of my writing. Although I write likely over 10,000 words a week, I've almost perversely kept that writing in open and unpaid forums.
I've decided to stop running away from what I despair may be my best talent. Being currently underemployed this is an easier than it might have been. Any business consulting contracts or incredibly cool jobs out there tell me! I could fill up time with volunteer work or thrashing looking for consulting work. But it's time for me to fish or cut bait.
It's time to write.
As part of this resolution, I've decided to write something in my blog on a daily basis. I always write about something interesting elsewhere -- every day. It will end up here.
Ganesha is the "remover of obstacles" from India. I've been asking him to get me an opportunity to write. I think I asked a fuzzy question! But I will make the best of what the gods hand me.
For shame, Mr. Nader (sent to the candidate's website "contact me")

Last election, I vote traded with a GA voter to be able to give the Green Party
another vote for you in good conscience.
I changed my registration last spring and began to work for Howard Dean.
When you asked for input months ago, I begged you not to run.
You have ignored us and all the people who gave you input. I supported you, but
I now believe your candidacy is a source of social pollution, an egotistical
posture that is merely threatening to get us another four years of a candidate
who is patently NOT just as bad as a Democrat -- but far worse.
I understand the math of the last election. But for you to enter this one is to
take such a great risk for the future of every person in every country on the
planet, not to mention to the environment, that I can no longer support you in
any way into the future, and will in fact be compelled to work against your
campaign in whatever effective ways I can muster.
You have made me very sad. I would have hoped for better. You are not playing
for the benefit of the environment and the people. You are playing politics.
Three bad choices. That isn't what I'd hoped for in November.
Shame on you, Mr. Nader.
