I am unemployed once again. This time, I didn’t run for office, I didn’t donate any vital organs, and I didn’t even make a drafting mistake that angered the US Navy. Nope, this time is was something different – they eliminated my position to save money.

Taking full advantage of the remaining couple of weeks of health insurance, I took a trip to the ER a few days ago to give them some kidney/heart challenges to deal with. I figured I might as well try to have a cardiac event to make sure Carson Tahoe got that last chance at Blue Cross money.

So once again… NOW WHAT?!

I’ve been flirting with Panda Express about a kitchen staff position. I’m also filling out apps, as required from Unemployment, and tossing them into the abyss of LinkedIn and Indeed to be one of thousands that go unread. I honestly don’t think there are any grown-up jobs left for old Mr. Wooley.

I’ve started over too many times!

Plan Z: Turn myself into a brand

For better or worse, there are a few thousand Lyon County residents who know my name and face. Since most know me as that guy on their Facebook and NextDoor feeds, they get confused why this 5’6″ dude looks just like Phill Wooley. I guess I talk taller than I really am.

Looking at my analytics this week, I see people are visiting my site and returning. Over 3,600 of you have been peeking at this website regularly. I was even contacted by someone from State Human Services, asking permission to include my website in their online resources. The more time I have to sit at this keyboard, the better it gets.

This site is built simply enough to make Lynyrd Skynyrd’s momma proud. I will be doing business the same way. Right now, I’m offering the chance to sponsor for the small fee of $35 per page, per week. No shell game of packages or promos. First come, first serve.

That’s it, my whole pitch!
