SLOW NEWS DAY

This last week or so I was riding the crimson wave so I couldn't really do much of anything. It consisted of me ordering pizza, nursing my cramps and watching Lost non-stop. All in all, not a bad way to spend the week but by the weekend it was time to work.

I posted a few ads yesterday and didn't get ONE client to come through. Womp womp womp. That means it's time to run a special. I hate lowering my rates for anyone but I got an unpleasant little shock when I checked my bank account last night.

I also saw that one of the agencies that advertises on the board I use is throwing a holiday party tomorrow night at a strip club. I never go to these kinds of things. My privacy is a huge deal to me and you KNOW people bring cameras. However so many people are going that I'd be BOUND to make a ton of money. ON THE OTHER HAND it seems a little heated to me...but with so many people attending (this isn't the first party) it seems safe enough. Mostly I'm hesitant because it's not like I can ask for references on the spot. Safety first!

Ho Ho Ho

Black Friday kicks off the beginning of holiday hell. I'm scared to go to the mall for the next month. I don't understand why people still go when there are so many great deals online. You don't even have to put clothes on! 3 people have already died (2 people shot each other at TOYS R US and 1 wal-mart worker got TRAMPLED trying to open the door in the morning).

With the economy being as iffy as it is this holiday season I'm a little bit concerned. So far my business has only picked up, which is good and sort of expected since people get really lonely during the holidays. I just hope it stays like this instead of people cutting back completely on my services. I don't see that many married people so I think things will be golden.
