I Had a Nightmare that I Couldn't Blog For a Week
I think it has to do with my imminent return to the workplace and reflects my worry that I won't have enough time to blog to my heart's desire. I guess I'll have to be more organized and think ahead a bit more, blah blah blah.Don't get me wrong. I am looking forward to getting out and being with people. I think it will be good for me. Take my mind off things, even make a little money. But it is seriously going to cut into my blogging time.

It's become a running joke in my house--Sorry, can't talk now, I'm too busy blogging! I refer to that silly video about the guy who's too busy to talk coz . . . you guessed it--he's too busy blogging!
Best I could do, folks.
Yeah work sucks ass! And I was actually a little scared by the skeleton
hands but I didn't know the skeleton was typing...I didn't know skeletons
could type :-P
hmmm, i never thought about it not being a good idea to mix business with
pleasure in that sense. dating someone from work, maybe, but not that. i
don't imagine i'll have any opportunity to do any kind of web surfing, as
i'm going to be doing some kind of customer service--keying in orders and
answering the phone. pretty much monkey work, but that's just what i want
at this stage of the game. the hours are sweet, too, as they're part time
and i won't have to get childcare for the wee one. i start on the 29th. : )
Well that is sad that you won't be able to update as often, but I guess you
do need to be able to provide for yourself and family. Hope the new job
goes well.
Oooh, do you get commission? Can we call you up and say "I'll buy $10,000
of your finest widgets" and you get paid 5% of that?? Then we can return
them all immediately saying they're the wrong colour, get our dosh back,
but you'll still get to keep yourcut. If each of us did that once per day,
you'd get real rich real quick and could retire early & blog all day...
fil for president ;)
andy--i'm hoping it won't make too much of an impact, coz it's already hard
enough for me to take one day off a week as it is. ;-)
I'll second the mixing business with pleasure advice. I like to travel, and
so I thought, "Wow, wouldn't it be great if I could be paid to travel and
write about it?" Cue conversations like, "Did you get any interviews while
you were gone?" "No, I was drunk at the bar. I'm human! Leave me alone!"
So yeah, I say customer service is the way to go. Plus, people are fun to
mess with over the phone.
i had the same thought about messing with people over the phone. altho, if
karma holds true, i'll end up getting stuck with all the really horribly
nasty types, as i have been known to be a bit of a bitch when it comes to
talking to customer service types. of course, i usually only call when i'm
terribly fed up with whatever my problem is and then i end up taking it out
on them, but i'm sure that means i will probably be paid back in spades for
all my past wrongdoings. *sigh* it pays to be nice, i guess.
