Give Me Back My Five Bucks

Yesterday I was chatting with a friend and he asked if I was on LinkedIn. I said no, but immediately went to sign up for it. After filling out my profile, I went to import some contacts from my e-mail accounts. Wow. Seriously nobody I know uses that website. I think I requested less than 30 connections that I would even consider using professionally. And that’s about it. I don’t even want to upload a picture of myself on that website. We’ll see how it works out. I can see how it could be beneficial to me, but also I … Continue reading →

So my friend who’s program got canceled a few days ago … he told me that they had a meeting with their professors, and the teachers are going to leave the school, get the program accredited on their own, and open up their own design school. Ballsy! So instead of him starting school next month, they’ll start up in January. They’ve spent years creating the curriculum, so they’re qualified – and now it’s just about getting studio space. Wow, that’s just insane. I really hope they can pull this off, because my friend is a talented designer. He said he’s … Continue reading →

I’ve been feeling exhausted and run down over the past few weeks. I don’t even know why. We had a 3-day weekend at the beginning of August, so it’s not like I haven’t gone away and had a relaxing time somewhere. But I’m glad that this cruise is coming up (THREE DAYS!!!). I can’t wait to relax for an entire week and do whatever I want. It’s going to be great. I only wish BF were coming too! The longest vacation we’ve had together is 3 nights back in July when we climbed Grimface Mountain. And I know that he’d … Continue reading →

Today after work BF and I are going to the rock climbing gym. I’m really excited to make progress on Saturday’s session, where I climbed my first 5.10b. It’s the hardest numbered route I’ve done before, but I’ve got 5.10 routes that I haven’t been able to do still, so it’s definitely not the hardest overall route I’ve ever done. Still, I’m working my way to my 5.11 goal by the end of this year. :) I also want to do more overhanging routes, because I find that targets muscles that I might normally not use as much on the … Continue reading →

With this being a short work week (leaving on Friday for our cruise), I’ve got a lot of things I need to get done by the end of the month: Get quote from printing company. I e-mailed the printing company my client wants to use for a quote on the project last week, but they haven’t gotten back to me yet. I want to have the print-ready document off to the printers before I leave. Send final invoice for above-noted project. Follow up on other client’s payment. They said they sent the invoice to their lawyers, and I should be … Continue reading →
