Selling myself

I went to NYC yesterday for a meeting. It was to discuss possible employment. I think it went well. Who knows. We shall see.

I bought an eBook called “Blog and Make Cash.” Ever since I read Steve Pavlina’s article entitled: How to Make Money From Your Blog I have wondered if it was something I could do. I am not interested in monetizing Donnaville but rather starting new and different sites. I’ve already started one Web site but it’s not really pulling in any visitors and my Google Adsense earnings hover at $0.00. I’d like to see that change and hopefully this eBook can help me.

Is it normal to print out eBooks? I am having a difficult time reading it on my laptop. I think maybe I’d do better if I print it out and then highlight sections so it looks like I am really digesting the data. I could even scribble illegible notes in the margins! It’s like I am back in college!

Last Friday I went to the local Community College to sign up for a class on Web and Interactive Design. You see, the college has a special program for “displaced workers.” If you find yourself unemployed by no fault of your own, you can sign up for 30 FREE CREDITS! So I showed up on the designated day and presented proof of my “displacement” and attempted to register. The class was full. So I tried to sign up for Visual Arts: Multimedia Digital Imaging. It was also full. I then tried Marketing: Internet Marketing. That one wasn’t running this semester. Basket Weaving was open. I asked to be put on the wait list for the Web and Interactive Design class and they gave me detailed instructions on how to check on the status. Today I pulled out the instructions and it directed me to log in to my college email. But I don’t have an email with them. I checked their Web site and the only way to get an email is to be a current student. I am resisting the urge to just scream and cry. I will call them and get this figured out. I really would like to take the class. What are the odds someone will drop out? I hope high.

    I don’t live as close to NYC as you do, but, I can tell you, working there a few days a week, I wouldn’t choose to do it, if I actually had a choice in the matter.

    Got up this morning at 3:45am, touched down in NYC at 7:30am, met with customer at 9:00am, home by 4:00pm. Am sick as a dog, developed a hacking cough by being in frigid temps, today.

    New York is crowded, dirty, and full of rude (and sick) people. $40 to get there (round-trip), $20 in cabs, $3 in Starbucks White Tea.

    I’d give my eye teeth for a penthouse in Manhattan. It is one of the most fascinating cities in the world. Museums, galleries, restaurants, shopping, what’s not to love? Whenever I am there, I feel more alive and exhilarated than anywhere else on the globe. Viva New York!
