thought for the day

See the post immediately below this one? Yeah, don’t do that.

Unless you want to end up stuck in bed for two days with an ear infection that turns your head into the Elephant Man’s swollen noggin.

what did you do today, raincoaster?

Dorothy Parker, who really looks more Doloresy here

Oh, not much. Just

  • pulled the second all-nighter in a week
  • emailed a deadbeat client’s boss’s boss’s boss
  • had a wicked good strategy and venting meeting with Mike Yurechko
  • had a wicked good strategy and venting meeting with April Smith of AHA Media
  • locked down another two fabulous speakers for WordCamp Okanagan, due sometime in late January or February, depending on what the tourism board suggests
  • invited all and sundry and their exes to the launch of Reading is Sexy this Thursday
  • Pestered Vanity Fair magazine on Twitter till they showed me where the story I was bitching about not being online was posted…online
  • did a nice, thorough grocery shop
  • paid my housing charges
  • made a strategic plan for the rest of the week
  • did 30 45 or so affiliate links, GAH
  • fixed one of the blogs on the network that was broken
  • lined up an aweber tutorial, thanks again to Mike
  • lined up four really solid leads on community management/blogging gigs
  • dropped a reminder to that book client that we’ve gotta get cracking and I’m waiting for the stuff he’s gotta send me, including the greenbacks
