I really hate it when people waste my time.

Since yesterday morning when I started to feel a lot better, I have been going back and forth with this guy in email about doing some product and website reviews for him, mostly discussing the length of the posts, the pricing, and how long the posts would be on the blog.
I have been doing this kind of thing for a very long time, I know how this works, I do it day in and day out, and just when I finally thought we were at the closing, he freaked out about Google page rank.

To make a wicked long and irritating story short, the guy needs to take some
sales training classes in regards to online advertising in 2009.
It's not what it used to be, page rank is pointless these days and not only does every blogger know this, but so does almost every single advertiser out there.
It's a number made up by the Google gods, 100% pointless.
What is important is stats, the traffic details, hits, page views and search indexing, those are far more important than that silly number from 0-10.

The guy pretty much wasted hours and hours of my time over the course of 24 hours now, that I could have spent doing all of the other stuff that I really needed to be doing, because he doesn't understand that page rank has become completely obsolete.

Selling everything off.

Things are super tight around here so I'm going through and finding stuff that I can sell, and getting rid of it all.
I'm probably going to have a big yard sale at some point for a lot of the big stuff, but I am going to go through all of my jewelry, my rings, bracelets, necklaces, my diamond engagement rings, earrings, every stinking stitch of jewelry that I own, and I am going to take it to the pawn shop up the street and sell what I can sell there, and what he won't buy, I am going to take the rest to the pawn shop downtown and sell, and then to another shop, and then finally, I'll do one of those cash for gold places you see commercials for.
I know they don't pay out much, that's why they are my last resort, but times and money are tough and tight, so this has to be done as much as it kills me to do.

Atheist Rights and Responsibilities

This list comes to us from I Am An Atheist, from their page entitled 'Atheist Rights and Responsibilities'.

Have no gods.
Don't worship stuff.
Be polite.
Take a day off once in a while.
Be nice to folks.
Don't kill people.
Don't cheat on your significant other.
Don't steal stuff.
Don't lie about stuff.
Don't be greedy.

That's a pretty damn good list, that's how I live my life, and I didn't even know about the list until today when I saw it up on Friendly Atheist.

They aren't commandments, they are our rights and responsibilities.
That's how we as atheists should live, how we should treat our fellow human beings, just live and treat others as you want to be treated.

I've been up all night again, I knew it was going to happen, I even said so yesterday right before I went to take a quick 3 hour nap that turned into an all day sleep fest.
I seriously meant to only sleep for just a few hours because I know myself really well, sleep more than that, I'd be up all night again, not be on a good sleep schedule, and that's what happened.
Oh well.

At some point this weekend, I'm going to have to go back to the grocery store for all of the things I forgot.
I did have a list, but I forgot to put things on the list.
I hate it when I do that.
Sebastian won't mind though, it's another chance for him to poke his head inside the camper they have parked inside the store.
As soon as he saw the pop-up camper, he wanted one, he now wants to go camping and have that thing because then I could go camping too.
He knows that I don't like tent camping, I hate it, but I always said if we could go rv camping, that I would totally go.
So now he wants one of those so that we can all take a cheap family vacation.
He knows we'll never afford to go some place crazy expensive, but camping is super cheap, so he's got his mind set on getting an rv at some point in his life.
He's a totally funny kid.
