Still around...

Yes, my trusty faithful "Chad's Blog Stuff" followers, I'm alive, breathing, & busy.

After consulting for five months, I took a full-time job as an eCommerce Manager - revamping a company's retail website and probably soon, the main website for the company.

As Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, & the New Year approach I think of the changes I saw in 2009 and more I think I'll see in 2010.

I don't know what I'm going to be for Halloween. Maybe a Jedi.
I have much to be Thankful for - I don't know where to begin.
I have to write Santa a letter. I've been good this year, of course.
Hopefully I'll be celebrating the new year somewhere fun!

My office at work is large, but it is in a quiet area. Without my iPod docking station, I'd probably go insane!

As with most people: I'm behind on this blog, reading/writing, housework, laundry, bills, phone calls, emails, texts, Facebook - you know the list. When does anyone have time? Between work, consulting on the side (still), relationships, & sleep - everything else continues to get pushed back.

Yet, somehow I had time to grab the 2nd "Transformers" (and even watch it) and a filter for my refridgerator. Yet, I'm overdue for a haircut.

I guess everyone has their priorities. I read this question somewhere, "Does your calendar & checkbook reflect your passions?"

Not at the moment, please check back with me in a few (weeks, months, years)...

Misc...

I don't blog as often as I used to. I used to post something every day. Now I'm lucky if I get one or two a month it seems.

I could write about writing. That is what my all pages aside blog is for
I could write about RoomMate Productions.
I could write about my consulting.
I could write about my weekend.
I could write about my upcoming week.
(yawn)
What do you want to know?

I did see Bebo Norman, Natalie Grant, & Jeremy Camp at the Bellevue Christan Center. Good show. Good music, lyrics, and acoustic work!

Odd dream...

I had an odd dream last night that I was in a movie and was trying to convince the other actors that we were in the movie, but they didn't believe me. I could never seem to find the camera or the director.

I wonder what a dream interpretation book would say.

Blogging from where...

My sister & brother-in-law have an apartment not overly far from my house/office.

So, this afternoon I went to their place for lunch and to work remotely at their place.

We might take a "recess break" and go to the Half Price Bookstore, ya just never know!

I'm able to catch up on trends and follow-up on some contacts!

Alive & Well...

This is the longest break I've taken from starting my blog way back in May of 2004.

Random updates:

  • Bring the Traffic is still kicking. I spend most of my time spreading the word.
  • RoomMate Productions is about to celebrate its seventh year making independent films.
  • "the books" are what they are. Although there are some 'readers' out there currently reviewing Left Unsaid to help me break out of this never-ending 'block'!
    Note:
    Jamy Sullivan Photography relaunched her website!

    This week:
    A few birthdays to celebrate.
    An upcoming meeting with an expert in my industry.
    An upcoming launch of Christ Community Church's website.

    Snooze nine more minutes...

    Now that I work from home, I find that my snooze button gets used more often. Sure my day starts later, but I also work later too. So really, what is wrong with hitting the snooze button like 10 more times?

    Clever video...

    I want to (should) write & film a piece like this:

    Surround yourself...

    A popular saying in business is, "Surround yourself with people smarter than you."

    As I continue on with Bring the Traffic, I am trying my best to do that. I'd add "and talented" to that saying.

    Thank you to these people:

  • Mike Hughes for the ALL back & forth we had trying to get that logo 'just right'
  • Adam Koch for helping me trouble-shoot all those issues I was having with my site (and the contact form stuff)
  • John Jordan for helping me tweak some of the marketing copy I've written
  • Mike, Kasey, Deb, Christi, Amy, & Angie for helping me test, proof this and that, and offering feedback on that and this.
  • if I left you (or anyone out), I'll be sure to update this post.
