  • My Perfect Job

    So someone recently asked me if my current job meets the needs and wants of my perfect job. Well, without divulging too many of the concessions made in order to have me stay at Charity Marketing Group, I’ll say: “mostly”. I will be able to get rid of my car in May. I will be… Read more

  • New Job? Not So Fast…

    So, I’ve been crazy busy and stressed out lately. As some of you know, I was offered a job with United Way Ottawa. I was to be their Online Experience Officer.

  • Input Overload

    So the last few weeks, I’ve been super busy. Right now, I’m at the office, working away on an e-mail migration that I’ve been working on for the last two weeks.

    So a month ago, I ordered a laptop for my second boss, and had issues with the order. They cancelled the order on me, and I was so infuriated that I couldn’t even manage to continue working on ordering it. How could a company not take my money because of a small issue with the… Read more

    I wonder if I could still make a “top 30” Internet marketing blog according to the list on Winning the Web? XFEP.com, a site I used to own and operate made it from nothing to being one of the top fifty on various lists, and I enjoyed competing in such a saturated niche without being… Read more

  • Co-worker Computer Frustration

    A co-worker’s computer worked before we moved offices and now it randomly shuts off. I’m at a complete loss on figuring out exactly what’s wrong. I replaced the RAM, same issue. Reseated the cables, still not working. Computer isn’t overheating as everything is cool to the touch. When computer shuts off, all the fans turn… Read more
