Updates
I thought Starbucks had free wireless internet everywhere. I was wrong. I’m in a Starbucks in San Jose right now, and it costs $10 an hour! However, I found a nice unsecured network on the list that had just enough bars to get a decent connection. Take that Starbucks!
I’m in San Jose right now with a couple hours to kill before I have to be at the airport. I got in last night and was just here for a project meeting for the day. It was pretty exhausting…I had to get involved in some pretty heated discussions which ended up in compromises on both sides. Working on this project has been really stressful, and in general work is kicking my butt right now. On the bright side, we have a new person starting on my team this week as well as another back from mat leave, so I can offload a lot of my work. I’m definitely looking forward to the long weekend.
I’m pretty psyched at how my Etsy sales are going, I’ve sold 4 pairs of earrings so far, which I think is pretty good since I’ve only listed 12 things total! EBay announced some new fee structures for fixed priced listings, so I might throw a few up on there too and see how they fair. I think I owe it to eBay to try out the new pricing since they do keep me gainfully and happily employed!
Lately I’ve been making a real effort to get to some of the things on my life’s to-do list. Selling my jewelry was one of them, and it feels great to have started that. Next is guitar lesssons….I used to enjoy playing, but never got very good. I’ve got a lead on a teacher who is pretty cheap, so I’m gonna try a couple lessons and see how things go.
So that’s my updates…nothing earth-shattering, but a lot by my life’s standards.
