Missed

I’ve been so busy with ads and socializing the awards from earlier this week that I missed posting here yesterday. I usually blog here on a M-W-F schedule but it never crossed my mind. Anyway, what’s going on around here? I’m still messing with ads and yesterday split out an ad that goes to US, UK, Canada, and Australia readers. The one I made its own version is for UK and shows their currency instead of US dollars. So far it seems to be reasonably successful as far as clicks go, but the proof will be in the actual sales.

As far as other distractions, I entered a couple more contests and packaged up the books yesterday and mailed them. I realize this is not news, but my trip to the post office was excruciating. They are THE model of government inefficiency. I stood in line for a few minutes, gave up and tried the self-service and was rewarded with an experience so bad it made me go get back in line, and then had to endure another twenty minutes of waiting and dealing with an especially indifferent clerk. My favorite part was when the address for one of the packages didn’t show as valid. I had to ask if I could go ahead and mail it anyway, receiving a shrug. I know I’m not the only one to complain, but oh my gosh. Oh well, life goes on.
