It's been a month since I broke my wrist, hip and elbow in a fall. As with most people, my bills didn't stop, in fact they increased. Now I'm struggling to figure out how to make income since I'm no longer able to physically do the work I've done most of my life. (Stone, tile and general contracting) Now, I find myself in a predicament.
The doctor told me that my recovery could take up to a year. I'll strive to prove him wrong, but in the meantime...I need to do SOMETHING! Praying about it and relying on other people seems like wishful thinking to me.
I heard a few options mentioned today that sound promising. LinkedIn referrals, Craig's List "Gigs" may also turn up some computer work. Hopefully, I'll get noticed for my knowledge in computer networking or troubleshooting rather than flooring. Luckily, I'm well rounded and should be able to find suitable work.
Until now, finding work has been fairly easy, see something wrong and go talk to the homeowner about fixing it. Works like a charm when you are able to do it, not so much from a wheelchair. I need to start keeping an eye open for the same type of problems...except on websites. If you see something that needs attention, keep me in mind or mention it to me..maybe I can get some freelance work. Thanks!
