Drowning drowning DROWNING! We have so much going on we're at the point where we're revising to-do lists and priorities every day. Not that this is a BAD thing, but I'm starting to feel a little flustered...a day to lend me? :D I've been catching up on TV while doing housework. A lot of people seem annoyed with Heroes...I'm just happy that Future!Peter is still around. I hope he never, ever leaves.

As a webmaster providing site maintenance and eCommerce updates for various clients of mine, I often get caught up in the work without putting much thought to the proper business facilities that need...from the government websites. For those of you already offering these services.... If you have any additional tips or suggestions for newbies, we'd love for you to leave them in the comments.

...extra if you want it fixed (However, charging extra to fix one small scratch that he/she can fix in two minutes, may be considered a little rude). Expansion Gaps . Because wood expands and contracts (due mostly to changing humidity and temperature), installers will leave expansion gaps between the wood and everything else (walls, other floors, etc.).

...trying to straighten things up with my mom’s phone company. The company required that the client would be recorded answering a series of questions for an independent contractor that handled the phone contracts. In order to use the service, the client was required to answer every question with the word “yes” regardless of what the question was. The woman I spoke with said, “When they ask you to agree...

K. and I watched the Pirates of the Caribbean series this past weekend. It was a tour de force, and one that stays with you, but as Hollywood blockbusters go, I’d have to say it’s kind of frustrating...avoid, and a whole hell of a lot of office politics and bullcrap that I never wanted to know but need to. In any case, I’m going to Dalhousie for summer courses next year. And I may well stay there

...her office procedures and other such things more efficient (and hopefully paperless). I got called on in Torts class, and did OK, but not as well as I would have liked.  One of our assignments in Contracts class was to turn in a brief that we had done, and I asked the professor to help me tweak.  Hopefully this will give me that "aha!" moment and allow me to do better in the future. Finally,...

Hmph... Well, I got some good ones there. They weren't that hard once you got the hang of sliding the pieces around. And the prize was damn well worth it, too. This'll be a nice little stash for me to...a contract. Speakin' of which... I'm a pretty good mechanic and salvage guy. If someone needs some extra hands now and then, I'm willing to do a little freelancing. I'm not a full-time kinda guy

My mom was having some heart problems this morning, so she went to the hospital. She is fine, so far. It might have been a heart attack, but they monitor patients with chest pains overnight to make sure...showed this before XD It was raining like it did during the hurricanes, for like 10 minutes. And you could see water flying off of all surfaces..like look at the little waterfall off the roof :P

...side, the worst part about being an independent contractor has to be assuming all of the responsibility of being your own boss. One of the biggest issues that independent contractors face is the actual contracts under which we all must work. As an independent contractor, I understand first hand that your contracts are your life blood. If you don’t have any contracts you aren’t working, however, writing...
