I swear to god a turtle moves faster than my computer does these days. I can’t believe how slow this thing is. This morning it took me over 20 minutes to get this thing up and running so that I could go on the Internet. And… I have a high speed Internet connection. This computer is going as soon as my income tax refund comes in. I think it should be here in about four weeks so I guess until then I will have to put up with this turtle. I just wish it was a bit faster so I could get all my Internet work done a bit faster. Oh well, I guess it could be worse. I don’t know how, but I’m sure it could be.

As you all know, I do a lot of working from home activities on my computer. Well, one of the companies that I work for is sure making me work this weekend. Early this morning I received an e-mail stating that they wanted 20 articles written for them by Monday morning. Now normally this wouldn’t be a problem, but with key words such as glucosamine sulphate, it’s going to take me a lot longer to write these articles. I’m going to have to spend a lot of time researching before I can even begin to write. Some days I just love the fact that I work from home. But on days like this, I really have to wonder what I’ve gotten myself into. Oh well, I’m off to writing. See you all soon.

So as you all know, I recently started writing articles for a company. I started writing my first articles yesterday. Actually it wasn’t bad. But I did discover one thing. If I were to do a lot of these I may need to invest in some of the best seo software. I really do think this could increase my speed and productivity so that I could earn more income. But… I won’t be purchasing any thing like that soon as I do really want to see how all this article writing pays out. If I can make some serious cash this way, then I may look a little closer at investing in software.

Well as you all know, I do a lot of work online to help out with our family income. Although I have quite a bit of stuff going on, I still do check out different opportunities to see if I can make any extra income off this ventures. Well I applied to a company to start writing articles for them, and I’m happy to report that I was accepted. This type of work I can take when I have the extra time to write so this will be a good fit with what I already do. So until I see how this opportunity will work out, I’m going to give up looking for more just for a little while. Don’t worry, I’ll keep you informed of my progress.

My computer is only about two years old, but man… is it ever giving me a lot of grief. For the past few days it has been running so slowly that I’m almost ready to pull my hair out of my head. Then this morning while I was trying to do a blog post about an acne treatment guide, the whole unit just crashed. Well, I just forgot about doing the post and unplugged the machine and took out the battery. I let it sit for an hour and then plugged it back in. It’s still running slowly, but as you can see I can post. Hopefully this thing will let me finish all my work on it today and then I will be able to shut it down and give it a rest. I HATE computers sometimes.

Well I must say that I was quite please (although surprised as well) to see that Google decided to give me some of my page rank back. Right now this blog has a page rank of 1 and I couldn’t be happier with it. Who knows how long it will last, but I will enjoy it while I have it. I really don’t know why I got page rank back but I am wondering if it’s because I don’t post about weight loss products quite as much as I did. Oh well, whatever the reason, Google decided to be kind to me. Let’s hope this lasts for a while.

I’ve got to tell you all that I’m really starting to get annoyed with all the spam emails that I have been getting lately. Every time I go to check out my emails I have at least 20 spam emails sitting there waiting for me. Most days I have more spam emails than I do regular ones. The one’s I get most often is about phentermine without a prescription, helping out someone gain access to their trust fund or an invitation to join a work from home company but have to pay hundreds of dollars to sign up. It’s getting a little annoying and I’m really starting to think about getting a new email account. That’s the only thing I can think of to stop this.

Well, I’ve been invited once again to test for a transcription company. I really hope I do well on this test as the last one I took on ecommerce fulfillment I didn’t do very well on. I do have a couple of weeks to do this test so I plan on taking my time and doing the very best possible job. Hopefully I pass and then will be able to continue working as an independent contractor for them. Wish me luck and I will definitely let you all know how I make out.

During the month of October my husband was awarded the safety employee of the month award. This is something new that they are doing with his company and he was the first employee to receive this award. Apparently they look at things like proper use of safety products , and the fact that he’s been employed there for over 11 years with absolutely no accidents. And the best part of this award was the cash bonus he received in his paycheck! So I guess it pays to work safe not only for your health, but for your pocket book as well.

Over the last couple of weeks I have been searching for a reliable and inexpensive online backup service. For the past couple of months my computer has been given me nothing but trouble and I figure that it’s only a matter of time before the stupid thing crashes completely. Before that happens I want to have everything backed up. So that’s why I have been looking for this type of service. As I’m not really knowledgeable in this field, this search is taken me quite a while to do. But I think I’ve found a company to go with. Now if I can come with the extra cash that this is going to cost, I’ll be good to go.
