I SAVED NOTHING THIS WEEK.
Zero. Goose eggs. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Bupkis.
And I am not a bit sorry.
I went away somewhere far away where they serve you meals to spend a week writing (and yes, I had to pay for it, but I was able to pay cash). So in addition to working out about five years' worth of work on two books, I also became a calmer individual. At least until 6:30 a.m. tomorrow, when the rat race starts up again.
I am on track overall, and moving toward better savings weeks soon, as I have started to seriously mess around with a dynamite little site called SaveUp (about which you will surely hear more soon).
On a more pragmatic note, I have begun seeking new freelance writing work, which might bring the official tally of my money-making gigs to three at any given time (teaching at a university, counseling at a high school, and then writing when I can).
So, I'm with Alfred E. Neuman.
There is no worry. There is only Whatme Worry.
The open tab that says "How to Take a Screenshot" is PRICELESS. I'll reward you 10 bucks for it! What's your paypal address? Hurry, the clock is ticking!
ReplyDeletefriend, i'll do better than that:

PLUS you will need this link to AdBlock choices to eradicate all the spammy ads on sites like that:
Pick your platform: http://chromestory.com/2011/06/how-to-take-screenshot-in-chromebook/
Now, that's free. If you want to tip me, of course I'd be much obliged. But I can email a PayPal address to an anonymous stranger, now can I? Get yourself a user id and then let's talk. :-)
(though the best way to get a really good screencap if to have a MAc, which permits targeted captures of specific parts of a desktop, not just the whole tamale. Ctrl-shift-4 is your byword.
ReplyDeleteOr you can get Jing, a wonderful program that does a bunch of stuff besides. There is a free version: http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html
What a wealth of information for this Mac shunner. Sorry for the anon posting but it is part of my coy getup and often allows me to comment without liking, which is a bonus. Just think of me as Alt-F4.
ReplyDeleteunderstood. Please consider simply registering as Alt-F4, though. In the etiquette of the blogsphere, it is actually considered sort of aggressive to post *completely* anonymously, without even a funny handle. This is because you leave the blogger not knowing which "anonymous" you are. In fact, I almost broomed the first comment away because it sounded suspiciously like one of those ad spammers. Only my magical girl powers and my knowledge of what properly gets written in high school annuals saved your (non)face at the last moment.
DeleteSo, Alt-F4, welcome to the blog.
