  • Authoring a DVD That Works

    So a co-worker went on a trip and didn’t have anyone that could record some television for her. It was the season start of her favourite show, so I volunteered to download it for her and put it on a DVD so she could watch it. What I didn’t realize is that unlike my computer… Read more

  • WP Theming

    I forgot how much I dislike building WordPress themes from scratch. The software and its themes have advanced so much that it almost feels backwards building one from scratch rather than modifying what already exists. Read more

  • Apartment Hunting

    I’ve been looking for an apartment for the last few days now. Pretty much ever since I’ve confirmed that I am taking a new job in Brockville. I have to admit, Brockville apartments are definitely more pricey than I’m used to. The sticker shock won’t be as bad once I rid myself of my car,… Read more

  • Because It’s Important

    I just added Scott Pilgrim vs The World to my Birthday wishlist. I want the super, extra, amazing, filled with bonus feature goodness version of the DVD. I would have bought multiple copies of it after seeing it in theaters because I enjoyed it so much. Just sayin’. Read more

  • Starting Moving Preparations

  • Thanksgiving and More

    So, I wasn’t going to drive anywhere far for Thanksgiving, and was thinking of just hanging out on my own, but recently, a co-worker of mine invited me to their family’s celebration. It is nice to know I won’t be alone for Thanksgiving. I definitely have to find time this weekend to call potential apartments,… Read more

  • Took the Job!

    So, I took the job! You are reading the blog of the new Online Marketing Manager for the Charity Marketing Group. A title that probably doesn’t reflect my responsibilities, but I’ve never worried about my title. Read more

  • Yet Another New Job Update

    So, they’ve bumped their figure up to a value where it is still a little less than I make now, but it is high enough that I can make the move. I’ve been spending all yesterday and today going through the pro’s and con’s in my head. I have to figure things out fast, as… Read more

  • Offer Letdown

    The compensation in the initial job offer ended up being a full five figures lower than my minimum acceptable compensation. I don’t know how or why this turned out this way. I hope it isn’t too wide a gap to close through negotiation, otherwise I’ll be sticking here for a while longer. We are going… Read more
