Looking For Work

Seriously, I'm looking for work, but I find it a bit frustrating when there aren't many businesses in my small town, and my phone calls go to people living far away in towns I couldn't possibly commute to. If I found a job there, I'd have to relocate, and live in a strange place. So my motivation is shaky. None-the-less I make the phone calls to see who might be hiring, and whether I might want to work for them.

The Case of the Shaking Cabin

I woke up in the middle of the night - and couldn't sleep so I got up to get some work done on a website I maintain. Now I'm feeling so sick!

My dog just got up and scratched or shook herself, and it made the whole house vibrate. I didn't know she could do that. Hopefully it was just the dog and not an earthquake. We live in a cabin-like house in the woods, but it really isn't that flimsy.

Ta-Done! Lots of Things . . .

It is 4 and here's what I've done today:

woke up at 10 due to having a long bout of insomnia last night;

journaled less than a page;

cleared a multitude of spam emails out and downloaded email;

contacted 2 clients;

referred a grieving parent to an activist near him;

contacted an online shopping service that let me down after taking my money (first time that ever happened!);

contacted the county assessor's office about business property;

did financial paperwork (always so much fun... not);

went on errands to the post office, pharmacy and grocery store;

phoned the tribe and got told to phone back on Monday;

approved messages for a mailing list I manage;

ate lunch;

updated three pages on this website (Linda's Life).

Now I have to get to work on a client's site.

Starting LindaJoMartin.Com

I finally got my own server space and moved onto http://lindajomartin.com - I'll be putting most of my weblogs here (at least, that's the plan). This one is more private than the others - it is now protected from spidering so future posts won't be in the search engines. Much better!

Anyhow - I've been way too busy since February and haven't been able to reach all my goals. That's a disappointment... but I've developed my web design business more. That's the good and the bad of it.

Now I have to get back to work.
