Ta Da

Hi, bet you thought that I was done trying to blog. Nope, I am still trying to get things all organized. I feel that I am getting closer to being ready to do the blogging that Paddy boy does
he is known as Patch Toepel in this http world. I have been looking at the Somerset Magazine and I see plenty that still needs to get added to have something worth looking at or even commenting on.

I don't know that I will reach the cosmic beauty of somerset writers of bloggs, but I now have a good idea of what to aim at when I do.

Today, I was too tired to even move by the end of the day. The tables of coding and the people who kept them had keys to my kingdom of Quality and I was allowed to continue but only after hours and hours of no one admitting who changed what and why it happened.
The evaluator who reports to me, finally became herself again, returned from the Netherlands, the only person who moved in profile, but never physically. Lost property, but for all intents and purpose it was there, proof that it was complete, but not counted due to a back end disqualifier.

Then finally Thursday, hours and hours of meetings, trouble tickets, and requests to escalate to someone who can fix it, one person said, after the appropriate pause, I think we are alright, except for transfer calls. We may have more of them.

The fatigue killed me, I didn't care about the tranfer calls, we completed over 1571. Let them come.

FIVE YEAR PLAN

I really got a lift reading the book that Starbucks sold at Christmas this year. 5 YEARS. It was encouraging, educational, and a real kick in the butt.

I know each and every one of us is a wait and see person. It talks about that in one of its chapters. It is called the the "Someday I'll..." syndrome. It also tells you to reflect and go back and thank people. It is not only great for them to know what they did to help you get where you are, but helps you realize that it was more than you (singular) to make you the person you became. Each and every one of us needs to appreciate someone who was special or made us feel special, or taught us what we needed, or supported us in efforts weather or not they were successful, they stood by us to the end.

So.. my recommendation is go get the book, it should be on special now. It was a deal at 9.95 so don't miss out on an opportunity to get your life in order. Make plans, write them down, read them, thank people who are important in your life, go meet others, don't wait.

What are you doing? Don't read anymore, go get this book. Starbucks did a good thing selling this book. I hope millions bought it. I gave 5 to my family, and I am truly hoping that they are working on their 5 Year plan.

Life is too short to waste waiting.

DECISIONS< DECISIONS

I want to sell beautiful items for larger women. Accessories to melt for, hair bands, scarfs, shawls, bracelets, necklaces, socks, pant stockings for larger calves, dresses that you canot wait to decide which to wear, that had lots of thought put into the design, not sacks made from different color fabric. I want to sell feminine, fluttery, soft and pretty clothes. Slips of satin all colors, so slippery that you will want to wear them on hot summer days to just walk around in, southern style. I see the need for petty pants so legs don't rub when you want to go stocking-less in a dress and still be comfortable. I want beautiful underware that is designed with some sparkle and flash for fun but still so very functional and fitted for the larger girl in mind. Girls need shoes links to supportive, hip, and globally green shoes. Dresses for work, that make people tell you how great you look that day, pulled together and ready, dresses for play that are now and happening, and comfortable to be in, making you more confident in yourself.
Sounds like a dream, but you realize that dreams that make it to paper, are not dreams anymore, they are now goals. So.. watch out. The master plan has begun. I am thinking I like the name CHACHINCK. I am taking other opinions. Feel free to comment, but hurry, static is not my favorite feeling.

I WANT TO WORK FOR ME

I am a hard working, inventive, eternally optimistic, never take no for an answer type of person. A solution is always possible, I just have to think of it but until then, lets try this, type of person. So will someone please tell me why it is so hard to figure out marketing on the web without paying through the nose to a person who charges you a thousand dollars to just garbage his way through a webinar to try to hook and bait you with other promises that never come to any fruition.
I want to learn how, am willing to pay a reasonable price, for a straight forward education in web marketing. I don't want to buy 10 web sites, or pay someone else to do what I need to learn to be super proficient in my own business.
I believe that the recession put others in the same place I am in, no more hours in the day left to accomplish all the things I need to and I have turned to the Internet to get what I want. The items are there, some priced high, some very reasonable. I know I can sell on the web too, I just need to know how without all the hype and hyperbole. I have what it takes.to be successful on my part, I don't have a teacher. The money I spent on trying to learn has been painful. I JUST WANT TO WORK AS HARD FOR ME, AS I DO FOR MY COMPANY and be at home doing it. Is this just too much to ask?
