The Issue of WORK and Writing Online

Hello, darlings

So, in the last two months it's become VERY clear that I need new work.  Not only has the shop not been able to draw customers anymore, thus affecting my salary, but I don't like how the company in general is being run.

I mean, who writes off thousands of rands' worth of stock, but still keeps it on the floor for sales?
And the stock software?  My word, don't get me started!  We've been complaining about the Pastel forever (it NEVER balances the stock!) and absolutely nothing gets done about trying to fix it.  Stock-taking is just an excuse to run around like a headless chicken once every three months.

That said, I've been trying to think about what type of work I would like and need.  Obviously, something in which I don't spend half my work-day travelling TO work is a major plus.  Something where I'm kept busy either learning new things or just doing what I'm supposed to be doing, and yet I have my weekends and holidays off.  I want a good salary (not some peanut-like amount where the business I do is proportional to what I'll get in a month, ie, a commission).  I hate commission, it actually makes me sick trying to get anything sold just for some extra money.

In that vein, my friend B and my dad have both suggested that I take up writing.  As B has the actual experience, he's been trying to help me with all the sites he used to write for.  A journalist by trade, he started by writing online and for his community paper up in KZN, and when he moved back to CT, could show the places he's worked for that he has actual experience.  He texted me last night ot discuss one of the sites having changed their layout and ways of doing things, so now I'm just waiting to hear if they're actually taking in any new writers.  If they are, cool - it just means I'll have to brush up on my writing skills.  I'm not too sure how valid my writing is with the blog, but it's nothing to Google writing skills.  My only real problem has always been that I don't know how to use a climax or how to end my pieces :P

Hee hee...!

Anyway.  What work do you readers suggest I go and look for?  Keeping in mind I can get INCREDIBLY lazy and unwilling, but I like to be kept busy when I'm at work.  And I mustn't get bored too quickly - that'll just drive me up the bend!

OK, off I go, my loves.  I'll write again soon!
