So, I started my new job yesterday. First it was an 11 hour day, second it was a lot different than I thought it was going to be. Actually I don’t even know if I can say that.  I don’t want to talk about specifics too much on the internets, but suffice to say it’s a waste of my abilities if what they want me to do is “babysit”. The money is good, and being able to have heath insurance is also good, but consistently working 11+ hours a day, basically “getting through the day” with a client with behavioral issues that include hitting and verbal abuse, with what seems like a “ignore them and they’ll go away” approach, isn’t something I want to do. I can do so much more than “babysit.” If I can take this job, make it my own, and really DO some things to help her, I think it could work out. If not - I just don’t know. Heh, I didn’t even know to clock in when I got there, and I haven’t filled out any financial info.  Ugg.  Just ugg.

P.s. I’m still doing my photo project. I’m doing self portraits on Saturdays.

I’ve been thinking about starting up my 365 photos project.  I started it last year on April 17th, and only got about 105 days.  I was doing OK with posting something nearly every day, then I broke my camera.  I’ve taken a new job and I may not be able to vlog as much because of it, so I was thinking that since I take my camera with me every where I go, I might start doing that again.  It’s actually kinda hard for me to go back and look at the pictures I took at the beginning of the last project - because of what was going on at the time in my life. I’d been thrust into an (unfounded, and motivated by jealously/greed) abuse investigation, and I was NOT ok. Part of me, however wrong this is, feels like if I start it up again, something bad will happen.  Course that’s stupid, but I never said I was the smartest cookie in the box. That being said...or typed out/whatever...that’s just silly. Out there in black and white - wow.  I like taking pictures and haven’t really since I started doing the YT thing.  I need to get back to things that I love. Taking pictures has always been something i LOVED to do, and I actually miss it.  I can’t beleive I’ve not uploaded a Photo to my flickr stream in like 7 months. That’s a freaking travesty. Not to mention a waste of money since I’ve paid for the pro subscription. Ok, when I say I paid for, I mean my Mama paid for. She’s awesome! :-)

Yea - I’ve decided. I am going to start it again. Its time.  Now, to go and find a suitable first picture....I’m starting today. Monday April 14th 2008.

;-)

I think, for now, I’m going to keep my EE.  I don’t really feel like futzing with everything and making everyone re register and all that.  If I can keep my act in gear and actually BLOG and not just make Vidoes, then maybe i’ll think about it. :-)

I bet you already know this, but I made partner on YouTube.  I’ve been thinking a lot about what videos I should monetize.  I get to choose every time I upload a video whether I want to ad the ads to them, and I haven’t added but a few.  I guess I feel like the video I am “trying to make money on” should be one that’s actually worth it.  That doesn’t quite make sense the way I said it. Like - ok - take for example the video I did about giving blood. It’s called Saving Lives is Easy.  I feel like I shouldn’t “try to make money” on that video since it’s of a very “charity” nature.  Same with my vlogs - like - why should i try to make money off of something that it’s giving anybody anything. At least with my cooking videos, I am putting something of value out there. I guess that’s part of my problem - I don’t see the “value” in blogging.  I mean it’s FUN, but that’s not value. It’s just fun.  I guess I need to think about this some more. :-)

Please see her video for all the relevant information.  Please, do what you can. :-)

I wonder.  Should I update my EE or should I change over to WP?  I love WP and how easy it is to use, PLUS they offer a metric ton of awesome layouts to use.  I wonder, would I blog more if I had an easy way to make my blog look awesome again?  I haven’t updated this layout in, lord, I don’t know HOW long!  And I’ve not got the time, with all the videos I do and WANT to do.  All of you peeps? What do you use and why are you using it? And what do you think I should do? :-)
