We continue to work - Mike searching the job boards while I try to figure out how to make our small business produce better. We received an order for two of the software games we create and the card game I had invented years ago. Every order is a big production. My computer isn't working well, so Mike copies the disks on his computer. I print the labels for the CD and print the packaging - nothing is already made up and on the shelf. But I'm thankful and amazed we're getting orders since we shut down all of our google ads - too expensive for now. I put our deck of playing cards
up on Amazon last month (it's a political history type game) and we get an order here and there. We have 250 decks that we could assemble, but the decks have to be updated and the printer would cost $400. We're going to take the risk though and do it.
There is still a job in Jackson, Mississippi that different recruiters call about. Mike's resume must not have been accepted because there are different recruiters calling for this position that he was already submitted for. It's a bit discouraging. There's news that the State of California might run out of unemployment funds. I want to talk about what we would do, but Mike doesn't. He wants to visualize the positive, meaning that we would be able to get a job here and stay where we are. He was very quiet in the car, and when I asked why he wasn't talking, he said he was trying to say positive sentences in his head about the job possibilities.
At least "The Big Bang Theory" was on tonight. The character of Dr. Sheldon Cooper played by Jim Parsons continues to delight and touch me. This evening's episode was particularly apropos. Penny, another character in an excellent cast, needs money and Sheldon simply hands it to her. The social dynamics of a friend lending money was spot on. There's a delicate balance that has to be maintained between the borrower's dignity and the lender's generosity. Creativity of how to help and/or anonymity in doing so can go a long was to preserve the balance.
