...without some sort of monetary transaction. Y'know, like you pay me and I'll edit your book or design your cover or whateverthefuck it is you'd like me to do with it. I'm not sure if most of you are aware of this, but quite frankly, folks, I just don't have the time to edit or… Continue reading Why I Can’t Read or Edit Your Book

Cleaning House
...and praying I get to keep my job that I love so much. A lot has been happening within and without Jinxie's World these days, and on the outside, in the really real world, work is one of those things. Changes, they are a-comin' within the techiesphere of the school district I work for, and… Continue reading Cleaning House
And This Week’s Virus…
...reminds me of Dr. Mario. Did you play that? It was like Tetris, but with drugs . . . gods, it all makes sense now. I'm kidding. But really, in the world of cyber viruses, the same goddamn program as last week--or whenever the Malware started--is giving me problems this week, only it's a different… Continue reading And This Week’s Virus…
And We’re Off
...but gods help me, I think I might lose my mind over the next two weeks. Last Friday began my 10-hour days, which allows me to have one of the five days in the week off. Since I'm sitting here typing this, I'll give you a guess as to which day that is. I'm kidding.… Continue reading And We’re Off
Malware Found
...and this is what I've had to deal with for the past week. When I find the little bastard who created this, I'm strangling him to death. I will kill him until he dies from it. I'm serious. This particular beauty affects only the one program--InTouch--so far, which also happens to be the receipt program… Continue reading Malware Found
Should I Go?
...or should I stay right where I am? Last week, after the bossman finally made a decision on the new hire to fill my old contract, my actual physical position in the area was apparently up for discussion in the back. Jinxie: Where's the new person going, since J's taking up the only other… Continue reading Should I Go?
I Can’t Find Anyone
...and where the fuck did they all go? We've been dealing with construction in my building for the past week and everyone has moved. The issue with that is that I can't find the people I need to talk to for a quick question/answer because they've all moved to somewhere else on the property, which… Continue reading I Can’t Find Anyone
10 Reasons I Suck at Blogging
...and I'll be amazed if this post actually publishes. Yeah, yeah, we all know I'm terrible at keeping a schedule with this damn thing, though I do try my best. I honestly don't know how some authors blog weekly or even daily and still write a book, edit said book, market the book, and work… Continue reading 10 Reasons I Suck at Blogging
How Many IT Guys…
...does it take to move a desk? Well, that depends. So, the entire IT (or IS, as we call it) department/building is under construction...All. At. Once. I came in Monday morning to insanity. Try listening to someone on the phone in the midst of sledgehammers pounding drywall and wood around you. But first, most of… Continue reading How Many IT Guys…
Let’s Talk About Plagiarism
...because you know it's out there and happens more frequently than you could possibly realize. Plagiarism. It's a dirty little word, one that people frequently misspell and can't quite grasp its meaning. They ask, "Well, what is plagiarism exactly?" Really? I'll tell you exactly what plagiarism is.... Plagiarism is, in the scholarly realm, writing 3-4 words… Continue reading Let’s Talk About Plagiarism
