Monday – So I survived the weekend with Aunty MERJ. I’m so so so so glad I cancelled that Hawaii trip. It actually wasn’t that bad, but I got home really late Sunday, ate and went to sleep. I didn’t feel like I had a weekend to relax before heading back to work. Oh well, have a week of PTO coming up in September. Planning all sorts of fun treats. Gotta get some blogging tasks done in the next two weeks…
Tuesday – It is hot like bananas. Yes, the skin melting sunshine is back. Ugh. Last week I drove to work with the windows down and got goose bumps because of the chill in the air. This morning I had to turn the air on, windows up. Trying to streamline blogging tasks for the fall. All I want to do is watch TV now! So many good shows being advertised. Much to my chagrin DirecTV no longer running their specials and increased their doggone prices but like a sucker I may shell out $40/mon for sub-par service. Shame on me!
Also, some insider secrets about affiliate marketing. They up your commission based on how well-displayed their product is on your site and if you give it your personal recommendation. You can’t trust these darn bloggers (present company included)! Haven’t called Aunty MERJ in two days. I’m just tired of dealing with it. That’s no way to act, but that’s where I’m at now.
Wednesday – Sleeping through the night but not waking up feeling well rested. Have done nothing for Aunty MERJ this week so far. I feel like I’m rebelling. Blogging took over my nights last two nights. Not sure how/why? Signed up for another affiliate – DirecTV. I was looking for some free trials and the affiliate program popped up, so I went for it. Also applied for a business ID number so I can stop using my personal tax ID number. Yikes. Especially since I sign up for these programs, get no sale, and my information is just hanging out there in cyberspace. I’m just putting things in place for future things to come I suppose.
Job asking me to pinch hit on another team that I previously trained with to cover someone’s maternity leave beginning in December. For once, I didn’t automatically say yes. Right now, I’m at…I’ll do it willingly for $2+ more… $4 would be preferable. But I’m at least willing to stay where I am if no bump in pay. It would be more responsibility but fewer people yelling at me potentially. Overall, less busy as far as call volume. I have mixed feelings, primarily because they didn’t even offer a bump in pay and too I was settling into a groove with the fall season.
Thursday – It just flew by. I don’t know what happened. Had a nasty customer service experience and Wal-Mart. And after I had just told the world how great they are. That meant tossing and turning and replaying the interaction in my mind. If there ever were a girl who sweat the small stuff… it’s this girl right here!
Friday – Oh, glorious Friday. I did nothing this week. Didn’t check in with Aunty MERJ once. Didn’t do any chores. Was so upset after Wal-Mart interaction last night, couldn’t think to grocery shop. Why am I so rattled by things and people who didn’t matter just yesterday. Funny thing happened at work. I stumbled upon an old note I wrote to myself in May 2018 that I was definitely going to take a 6 month sabbatical in Oct 2018. I wrote I would not think twice and just pick between Croatia or Spain and go with it. Ha, if 5-month-ago me could see me now. Took some Miralax last night because of recent decline in diet. Haven’t cooked anything in two weeks. Happy Labor Day weekend!
How did your week go? Share your high and lows… I definitely want to know!

Go you with affiliate marketing - I'm still procrastinating, sigh. Just seems like yet more work! Glad to hear you have plans for your week off - be interesting to hear how they panned out.
ReplyDeleteI've got my eye on you as well for your e-book. It's fun to see all the progress...can't wait to see where we are in 1 year, 2 year, 3 year. My view on blogging seems to change by the minute...seemingly so does my direction. Signing up for the programs is super easy so I just do it because...why not??
ReplyDeleteGosh yes, can't even imagine where we'll be in a year's time! What I started out doing seems so far removed from what I actually do now. I guess I should just stop procrastinating and start applying - ahhhh maybe next month :-)
ReplyDeleteHaha.. i remember you not being a big fan of the listicles... ;) but they have turned out to be a crowd pleaser. I can't believe your daughter blew up your spot! Glad you all have found common ground. Did she tell your other daughter?
ReplyDeleteYounger daughter found out first as she peeked at my laptop screen one too many times. I only realised she knew when she popped up as a new Pinterest follower! I then 'confessed' to older daughter not thinking she would out me on Twitter :-0 I now have her and a couple of her clients following me - no pressure!
ReplyDeleteAhh, now I remember. I was thinking it was the same daughter that found out and outed you, but alas they tag-teamed you! No pressure is right :). Kind of exciting though. Do you think your approach to new posts has or will change?
ReplyDeleteTag-teamed for sure! I think I'll probably ignore them and write whatever :-) Although DD2 has asked me not to blog about her in future as apparently it's embarrassing! Oops!
ReplyDeleteWell, she shouldn't have been nosing around. She did this to herself. :)
