    Thanks for the words of encouragement! I have never seen my age or gender as a disadvantage, till I stated seeing myself turned down for work for not “looking the part”. I’ve got a pretty thick skin, I know I’m good at what I do, and I know its just a matter of time before I can find a steady gig or a staff position. It just sucks making ends meet in the meantime!

    Don’t be desperate.
    Go back to 8th grade for a bit. Remember how ya asked out that one girl like 12 times and she always said no? Then ya got that skinny girlfriend and that one girl came a knockin?
    Same thing. Go in requiring it and it’s gonna be a hard sell.
    Now I aint sayin don’t flirt. Just don’t all yell, act a fool and thump her on the head.
