Yea……sooo….

I know it took me an extra day but I’ve been kind of busy. I put up the August theme. Now, I don’t like it but I was getting sick of the July theme so I figured I’d do something to fix that. So here’s my POS and maybe I’ll come up with something different when I have some free time.

I’ve been working a lot for the last few weeks. Quite a few clients have come in now that I’ve slashed 50% off my pricing. I’ve also won a few bids on GAF so that’s helping out quite a bit. Something to be happy about of course. Bills are basically paid and things are beginning to look up. I’ll bring in around $800 after bills this month. This should all be good for the next few weeks until school gets back in session – that’s when places around here will begin hiring again. Most of them are booked because of their “overstock of employee’s” as one manager said. Starting in September, the bulk of the kids will be going back to school so positions will open up and tootles to the ‘net for me. Yea, I’ll still do templates and the hosting but I just won’t have it full time anymore.

I’ve been thinking about it for a while so it was bound to happen at some point. My life offline has changed drastically over the last 5 months and it’s just time to start picking up and moving on. So far it’s working, it can only get better from here so I guess that’s all that matters.

My desktop is basically dead, and since I haven’t been using it anyway…I gave it away and just took out the hard drive. It’s basically being scrapped for parts right now, and that’s honestly all it’s worth at this point. There’s an external hard drive enclosure that I can buy for like $30 at Microcenter. I plug my internal hard drive into it, and hook it up to the laptop via USB and I can regain access to all of my files. I have a few databases on there for clients and I have other things on there that I need to get my hands on because of work and what not, so it’s definitely worth the $30 investment considering it’s a business expense. It’s cheaper than going out and buying a new desktop. And this way I can basically just have EVERYTHING with me no matter where I go, so that’s all that matters.

The heat wave hitting the Northeast right now has really had me in a bad mood – all day long. Temperatures soared around the 110° (43°C) mark when humidity and everything else was factored in. Tomorrow it’s going to basically be the same way. My air conditioner has been acting up so I spent the last few days in the living room. I wound up sleeping out here last night because I just couldn’t take it anymore. I have no intent of buying a new AC though. It does the job, just not to the degree that I’d prefer.

I’m in love with cold weather. Anything under 35°F (1°C) makes me a happy girl. I basically wear shorts during the winter. Thing is, as long as my feet are warm, I’m fine. So in the summer when we get into the high marks it really bothers the shit out of me. My AC usually runs the room around 65°-70°F (18°-21°C) which makes me very happy. I can just curl up in bed and I’m completely comfortable. Right now the AC isn’t even getting me under the 90° (32°C) mark in my room so it’s driving me crazy, I’ve basically moved into the living room just to have some ounce of comfort. Which is probably why I’ve been so short with people lately. Then again, thanks to a recent idiot talking shit about things that don’t concern him – I’m obviously agitated for a reason.

I’m going to head off though. I have to get my pillow so I can lay down and crash. I’ve been looking at this screen for 12 hours and if I sit here any longer my eyes are going to pop out of my head.

Later gators.
