No takers for the opportunity to tear up my press release?

I feel like I make requests at the exact wrong time and then they get lost in the shuffle.

If anyone does have a moment, I would be grateful.

I just got a terrific photo to go along with the release and am feeling quite chipper about it!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

How soon do you need it, bonny? I could have it back to you by Thursday morning, most likely.

smonster, there's a local artist who recycles glass; if the glass bead idea takes off, you might spread this idea.

You might also contact the society of glass bead artists (can't remember their exact name).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I like it that it's a web app (with an iphone app), so I don't worry about which computer is the spreadsheet on; the phone app also works offline and sync up when you get back online, for those times I'm actually not at a computer or don't have internets.

Interesting! I'll check it out.

I'm sending it out next Tuesday, smonster, so Thursday would be great!

Amy that actually sounds super helpful--I tend to be good on timesheets weeks when I'm traveling a lot ("ok, on a plane three hours, at the office seven...") but much more...er...guessing, weeks I'm home more.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Srsly - between the lack of schedule structure and the ADD, I can spend entire weeks forgetting everything I ever did... tracking with click to start/stop (as opposed to, oh, trying to remember something later) is a total godsend. And not just for hourly billing; it's also incredibly helpful to keep an eye on what I'm doing on my own (work) time.

Hola, Buffista Chamber of Commerce Delights! It's the last business day of the month, and thus time for the monthly checkin post!

As a reminder, checking in is absolutely not mandatory, ever. Please don't post specifics of clients or money. And your business is your business - no worries about too big, small, new, on-the-side, or whatever to play in the checkin. Mmmkay? So:

  • what successes did you have this month?
  • what do you have an eye on for the next month?
  • any brags, frustrations, brilliant ideas, inspirations?
  • didja at least pay the rent? (or whatever your personal bottom line is for "is my business doing okay?")
  • how are your psychic wages doing?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, damn, is the month over already? Sheesh. Ok, I'll have to look back and assess.
