Gadgets galore!

Ugh! What a stressful evening I’m having already! I had to leave work early to pick up Lo, and in between the sitter’s house and the front door she threw two fits. I was able to talk her out of both of them without her having a huge melt down, but it was frustrating none-the-less.

We finally get settled in at home when my phone goes off with a text from my supervisor to the designers saying it was urgent so of course I hopped online to take care of the news. Many of the folks I work with have pc tablets so it is easy for them to get into work mode in just a few seconds, but I am not going to lie it throws me way off. I’m not used to doing my work from a laptop with a touch pad. In this kind of situation, trying to get set up with an actual mouse will waste too much time. It’s also hard for me to get my browsers organized and can really end up a mess.

My tower is a little (okay, a lot) outdated as I’ve had it since college and it isn’t even a intel mac. That thing is a hot mess. Maybe one day I’ll upgrade it and have a more peaceful experience when I have to jump into work at a moment’s notice!

Smorty: earn money with your blog!

There are tons of services out there that allow you to blog for money. I personally have tried out a few of these programs, and so far I really enjoy Smorty. Smorty allows you to conduct blog advertising and you get paid to blog. There are some people who look down on people who are getting paid to blog, but I don’t truly see anything wrong with it. You generally pay for your own space to blog, so why not allow it to make you money?

It is very easy to earn money with Smorty, you simply write a post reviewing or sharing your thoughts on a company or their product and submit the URL and post title through smorty’s website. You get paid weekly for doing the things you love!
