that's really what blogs were meant to be.
Then Facebook was invented, and that is seriously a daily blog format.
Anyway, it occurred to me the other day, as I sit and wait for the new job to commence, as they did job interviews a month ago, then took 2 weeks off for holiday vacations, and now are waiting for the results of the standard background check and drug test (that could have been done and in process while this companies HR was on vacation) results to come back.
So far the back ground investigation amateurs have had ME do the research on the companies I've worked for and get their emails, addresses, phone numbers, etc. Twice. Not just once, and that's because they suck at THEIR job and I'M the one doing the work for them.
I had to upload a pay stub/paycheck and time card to prove I worked there. OMFG. Ever had to PROVE you worked somewhere? WHY? Just do YOUR damn job and use your computer to look me up after getting my drivers license and social security card, and have the programs and applications you're paying for do all the digging and bring up search results.
I can't remember the last time I've seen some outsourced agency be so inept and incompetent at their work. How did they ever get the contract to do background checks?
So that has wasted time for me, when I ought to be on the job, making real money.
Well, I've spent my time between jobs blogging like a kook, realizing that I'd be pretty happy to be turned loose with my laptop, wifi, and someone proving a paycheck that covers bills and pizza. Damn. Why the hell has the world decided that my blogging skills are not something any company needs to exchange a paycheck for?
Feeling for ya,mate.

ReplyDeleteYour blog has developed into a vital part of each day for many of us.
Wishing you the best for a happy, healthy and rewarding New Year. *CHEERS*

lol, we all hope that the flow of the things we like never ceases. That our favorite tv show, or morning radio goofballs, keep going. We all hope our rent never increases, that the price of a gallon of gas doesn't go up. Etc.
DeleteBut I'm certain history has proven that good times never last. Good things always break.
It's going to freak me right out when my landlord tell me that I've got to find a new place, and someday my garage rentals will be ending, and I'll have to find some new place to store my ol Dodge, and my stuff I store in my other garage
You need to figure out a way to sell ads on your blog and make some $$, you certainly have enough site visits, might need to hire a expert in web advertising and see what they suggest.
ReplyDeleteads don't make money unless the viewer purchases from them. So, since the majority of my readers are on fixed income, and most people ignore all advertising online, it's quite pointless to make my blog ugly with ads.
DeleteDo you pay any attention to You Tube ads? Or just impatiently wait for them to get off the screen so you can watch your video?
Ever click on any ad while looking at Hemmings, Hagerty, etc and buy something?
My neither.
So advertising really doesn't work, it's hope from some company that they will be so dang appealing, that when you do choose to buy something, they will stand out in your memory as better than their competition.
But ugly up my blog for 100 dollars a year? Yeah, that's really about all I expect based on talking to all the other sites and magazines I've talked to.
Even Hot Rod went out of business.
Only subscription based magazines are doing well, OR you get the ones that are 70 percent ads, like GQ, Vogue, etc
If I was a millionaire, I'd be giving you $100,000 a year.
ReplyDeletethank you!
