PART TIME WORK

I've been so sick the past few days, I can't even remember what it feels like to be "normal". I was sick for about two weeks and finally getting over the cold (and running around the track again), and then I caught what my nephew Jay had. He came over one day kind of mad that I had gotten him sick, but it turns out that he had something totally different. Anyway, he described a cough that you just could not treat with salt water gargling, cough drops, cough medicine, throat sprays or anything over the counter. The reason it could not be treated was because the cough originated from the very entrance of his lungs where nothing could reach it except air.

The first day of this "cold" was horrible. I spent the night coughing and coughing because not only had it just begun manifesting itself physically (there's always a few days of hibernation with colds and viruses), I had also blown some trees that same day and that aggravated it. I was dry hacking and there seemed to be no relief. It was also very difficult to sleep because I could hardly breathe without coughing. It was awful.

I had a meeting with a company that learned about me through some of my former co-workers in the Bay. My friend Emily is in Spain right now so she sent me an opportunity from an Internet cafe there. It's for a company that sells a product that helps people with lactose intolerance. They're known as Lactagen.

It was good that they have an office right in Century City, but I couldn't help but wonder if this was one of those vitamin companies that sell people things they don't really need. Then, it made me wonder even more when I found out that they outsource practically everything in the company. On top of all this, they get most of their leads from email drops, or essentially, junk mail.

However, they seemed legit enough to continue the conversation so we'll see where it goes.
