Hello, all you beautiful people!

Now that the Benefit is over, I’m looking around at the carnage that was my life before this all began, and realize that *I* need some personal help now, as awkward as it is to ask. Everything outside the focus of putting this thing together was horribly neglected for almost two months, and it all suffered. Seein’ as my job is commission only, I pretty much didn’t make anything over that time, and am now feeding plain pasta to my dawwgy & me because it’s pretty much all we have left. She doesn’t mind because I do put a little butter on it, but she’s cool like that. I mind. I’m sick of the shit. I’m broke, hungry, need to move in a month, and need help, so I’m asking for it.

I’m putting the word out – I need to get work back in gear last week, and maybe you or a friend of yours can help. Here’s how:

I work for a company that brokers janitorial contracts. My job is to go out & find companies to do cleaning estimates for & show them why we rock. They usually agree. If they choose to switch over to us, I then make a commission from getting the contract and managing it, making sure that everyone is happy. Some of the places we do are The Fillmore, The Warfield, The Legion of Honor, Mighty, and a number of office buildings, retail stores, bars, and various commercial buildings in the bay area. Pretty much *anything* commercial with a cleaning of at least once a week. I make my money selling and managing these contracts, but first I need to just get my foot in the door and do an estimate! (That’s where you come in.)

All I need is a name (and number if possible) for anyone on the inside of anywhere. It just simply turns that cold call into a somewhat warm call when I talk to the facilities manager and mention their (or your) name, and lets them be a bit more receptive.

If you aren't sure if something would be helpful, ask me! Chances are, it will be.

Thanks everybody! Remember - even if you don't think it would be any help, any information you have is probably more than I have, and every tiny bit is that much better than nothing.

Love ya, and thanks for everything.

PS – oh, and if you have a spare $300ish laying around, there’s a Judge I need to see in Oakland this Tuesday who would be a lot nicer to me…

PPS – OH! I also have a bunch of assorted leather cuffs that I made for sale – most people find them pretty cool. If you’re interested or want to know more about ‘em (or have something nice to say if you already have one), pipe up!
