Everyone's 'dance' needs to be unique to them?<br />This calls for some good old trial and error research I think.nahiyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160342569479414655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078779326914378322.post-55047443690360348982009-09-29T09:29:34.971-07:002009-09-29T09:29:34.971-07:00I really haven't perfected a fool proof rain d...I really haven't perfected a fool proof rain dance my self. The one that been working has been not working for a few months and as my monetary resources begin to hit zero and I mean zero. I get a ton of work for a few weeks then nothing for another two months.<br /><br />So either I need to start burning through my money like I have a week to live or start experimenting with other devices of work motivation.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078779326914378322.post-1528492305838404572009-09-29T00:39:54.211-07:002009-09-29T00:39:54.211-07:00My "rain dance" is planning some vacatio...My "rain dance" is planning some vacation time. After rationalizing that since no one's working anyway, now would be a good time to visit old friends and family, the phone inevitably rings the night before I'm supposed to leave.A.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06280771470428710391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078779326914378322.post-18887809717676632972009-09-28T22:37:17.406-07:002009-09-28T22:37:17.406-07:00Always good to hear about other's rituals for ...Always good to hear about other's rituals for drumming up some much needed work.<br /><br />I generally spend a couple days catching up on errands, laundry, friendships and family relationships that I haven't touched in (x) amount of days/weeks-<br /><br />The next two days are spent on the phone begging for anything I can get "What? You don't have any jobs lined up? Can I wash your carpets? Finish you basement?"-<br /><br />Finally I buy a bottle of cheap whiskey and wander the streets with a stolen gun until I pass out in a strange gutter in front of my parents house. My spirit broken and my reputation well... mostly unchanged I wake up to the soft ring of my phone with the next gig all lined up for me (and it's actually been a text message the last few times).<br /><br />Thanks for the post!Joe Movickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09997343815993564457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078779326914378322.post-54361200556257121182009-09-28T14:33:13.573-07:002009-09-28T14:33:13.573-07:00D'oh!
