TGIF?

I was thinking about this yesterday and I came tot he realization that I like every other Thursday a whole lot better than Fridays, since I get paid every other Thursday. So would the anagram be TGIEOT no I suppose it would be TGIPD for payday. Oh I wish it was two weeks from yesterday and therefore pay day again...I love payday.

Summer?

May is gone and June has come and still it doesn't really feel like summer. There have been a couple warm/hot days so far but lately it has just been raining. Isn't it supposed to rain in April? I bought a new dress for work when I was home last weekend and haven't been able to wear it due to the weather - I hate it when that happens. Mind you the lightning and thunder last night was really nice to fall asleep to, though I did have to get up unplug computers and set backup alarms in case the power went off. Perhaps the weather will get warmer next week and it will start to feel like summer although when that happens I will probably end up complaining that it is too hot and humid or something along those lines...

So Happy (Belated) Birthday to all of you.

Employment - Part III

I have been working at the City now for a whole month. I decided that I am not going to get a part-time job to go with this one. When I was talking to my parents about it before the summer I realized that I want to have some sort of fun this summer since this is really the first summer I have had in which I didn't have to do summer school (either my choice or not-so-much my choice) and getting a second job would pretty much take away any free time I would have. I also did the math and I don't NEED the money - although more money is always nice.
I am going to ask my boss later on in the summer about working here during the fall term when I am taking my last two courses for my degree from Carleton. If I can work here for 3 days a week then I won't have to get a part-time job then either. I don't know if I am going to be able to get a job here during the fall since it depends on the budget that this department gets and whether or not there is a spot/need for me. I am working extra hard this year to try to impress my boss more than I already have.
I always end up making all these really big goals/plans and then falling just short of them, so it will be interesting to see what happens with this one.

Ads - Part II

So I signed up for the Adsense program which is actually a long process, although easy to do. The way it works is whenever someone clicks on the Ad on my page it registers in my account and once I have accumulated $100US I get a cheque sent to me - well once my account is reviewed and accepted which will take another week or so. However, within the process I have to agree that I will not:

• click the Ads myself
• use graphics (such as arrows, etc) to direct people to the Ads
• promote people from clicking the Ads
• pay people to click the Ads
• use any third-party automatic clicking program
• and other such things

So I guess I can't do any of those things if I want this to work. All that means is that it is going to take forever to get any money from this (as expected) since no one reads my blog, I have the Ad in a non-invasive spot (for my own reasons) and I guess the Ad has to be somewhat interesting to the one person who does read this. Yep, I am so not going to make any money from this whatsoever. Oh well, I wanted to see what would happen and I guess now I know.
