A couple weeks ago I was frantic with finding a new job. Taking pictures of cars in all sorts of weather just wasn’t cutting it. I threw out my ambitions of being a professional web designer, because I really don’t like designing for people anyway and I even quit school, for now. I had to pull myself up by my bootstraps and get a job. And boy did I.
I am making good money and I move a lot. Yes I am happy with that. I was always at the computer, now I just read the news. I hate sitting all the time, it messes up my back, and I gain weight x;(. The job consists of Shipping and Receiving, what I used to do. Plus I get to utilize my background (kinda) in Semiconductor and Electronics. So I will be blogging about me, my family, pets and well, just normal stuff and normal life.
I’ll have my weekends back and my evenings with my family. We also had to give up homeschooling, which is disappointing, but we wouldn’t be able to carry on with that. Although I still can’t stand this school district, I hope there is a good elementary school SOMEWHERE around here. The kiddo will be back in public school by next week.
I am happy now. I have a job I like and can tolerate, I am making good money and we can pay bills AND have fun again. x;)
well with my computer acting funny and needing to be fixed I managed to install a plug in that takes pictures from facebook and formats them into a photo album on my wordpress blog. I am so impressed. Not at myself for installing it, that was easy, I like the application. It is easy to install and it utilizes facebook to get pictures from which I thought was genius given the fact that you can have an unlimited amount of pictures on facebook. Flickr only allows 200 for the free account. Thats kinda bunk, so I just use Flickr to instantaneously send pictures from my camera phone.
So you can make unlimited albums in face book and each album can hold up to 60 pics. Plus Facebook has a good tool to upload and organize pictures. So if you have wordpress on you own domain and a facebook account check this plugin out here. It is called Fotobook by the way.
Also the plugin that I am using to add these pictures also takes from your facebook photos and enables you to pull them out for blog posts from your writing screen. That plugin is here.
So two great plugins for wordpress and facebook….
So more about facebook. I really got into it and I love the applications. I think it is a better networking site than myspace. Myspace is so generic. I mean they are trying to improve the design and functionality, but its all in vain really. They should have started with a strong foundation. I mean they built the damn thing with tables. Wtf? Well who am I to talk. They are loaded and I have a 0 Google PageRank. So apparently theya re doing something right and I’m a loser.
Anyway I still like facebook more… x;) {–}
I’m not new to blogging. I started blogging in december of 2000. Damn, has it been that long? I started at xanga. And lo and behold my xanga site is STILL THERE! I was reading it and I can’t believe the drama (that finally ended late last year and mostly due to drinking). I had a post at 1:56am on Sept. 11th… Anyway I have been at this for far too long.
All my previous blogs were how my relationship exuded dramatic episodes. Talking bad about my b/f because he was screwing up all the time due to drinking (He is now going to AA, sober for almost 9 months and we are married). I can’t believe I would air my dirty laundry like that to whoever happened to find my pathetic spot on the web.
Well thank god those days are over. We have crap to go through now, but it involves everyday family stuff like bills, scheduling, cleaning etc. I feel good that my now husband and I were able to straighten things out.
I also have my Blogger blogs from back in the day. I might post a selective few of those old posts. But most of the posts are negative. And I don’t want to put TOO much of my negative crap out there. There is already so much with out my help.
