My Last Week of Fun

Hey, Everyone!

Today was my first day at my new job! I still can't tell you which company I'm working for, but it's a writing job (with regular hours & duties!) with its primary focus being on Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Squee!

I'm fairly new to SEO, but I love it. I love that feeling of accomplishment I get when I know I've done a good job. :)

As for my title, I was jokingly referring to last week as my "last week of fun" (since it was my last week before starting my new job). What a joke that turned out to be! lol. Everything that could go wrong for be classified as "un-fun" happened last week. I won't bore you with the details, but here are a couple items of note:

• I went to the DMV to renew my California ID. And you know how awesome the DMV is!
• Robert had his first bath

Now, Robert having his first bath wasn't so bad. Robert has never been one to use his claws (except on accident) and bruising was minimal (he does like to kick--with force!). The bad part was the reason why he had to have a bath! It was because of this:
We had applied some PurrScriptions Plus 5 Way Protection on Robert (hot weather = flea season) and he had a horrific allergic reaction! It was terrifying.

We've never had a problem with this product in the past. And we know how to apply flea meds out of reach of the cat's licker. It was just Robert's bad luck. (Black cats...bad luck to themselves?!)

Anyway, the Sentry Petcare people were able to guide us through what to do. And "what to do" included giving Robert a bath. And, fortunately, that fixed him right up!

This morning, Courtney from Sentry Petcare called up to check on Robert. And they're going to be sending us a brand new product with a different formula! Hopefully that one will work better. No hard feelings! (Also, we're to report back on how the new meds work--I'll post the results here as well).

That's all for today!

See You After Next Week!

Hey, Everyone!!

I'm going to be extremely busy in the upcoming days. I have several articles due and they're all due "soon." I'm going to have to write 4-5 articles a day to meet everyone's demands.

So, I'm not going to be online for "social" reasons for a while.

I'm going into "hiding" for a little bit and I'll miss you all, but I'll be back soon! :)

Until next time...

Been About A Week...

Hey, Everyone!

It's been about a week since I last wrote to you, so I figured I should make a post.

Things are going really well lately. KNOCK WOOD!

My writing is really starting to "take off" now. I'm going to be removing my "I Will Write ANYthing (up to 500 words) For $5" gig from my Fiverr account shortly. I have one last job to do on there and then I'm getting rid of it. I'm already making 3 times that (or more!) everywhere else, so it doesn't make sense to be doing the same amount of work for so little!

In other news, Ramiro bought these today:He says that they "Really deaden up the atmosphere" and that "the interior deadcorator was a real bonehead." Sigh...

At least now people won't keep asking us why we have a curtain rod up in our room with nothing on it! There. Something's on it. ;P

Anyway, I've got to get back to work now. Busy busy.

Until next time...
