Social & Business Marketing newbie

Well,

first off a shout out to Miwako!!!!!!!!

Hey girl! Thanks for the beautiful email. I will respond soon. Glad to hear about the new job and that my blog brightens your day!

So... Jaz is fine, and yes, Miwako, he is jumpy now. Jumps at every little thing since his run in with the racoon. Always was a bit jittery, but now he is down right jumpy.

Good boy though. Snoozing on the chaise lounge a few feet away.

Ollie is a prolific hunter. Managed to head him off at the pass a few days ago. I went to the window to read the fine print on the hard drive my Stubba Bubba sent for mom's pc (was trying to sort out that master and slave business) -well needing that light was a good thing, cause little Ollie was trotting across the yard with a snake in his mouth.

Well, you know I dropped that hard drive and bolted out the office through the living room and out onto the porch. Ollie was just coming up the steps with it.

I managed to slam the window down to close off the window mounted cat door at just about the time he deposited snake at my feet. eeeeeeeewwwww.

Well, I had the foresight to grab the broom on my way out of the house. So, knowing the snake would play dead for a few minutes, I snatched proud little Ollie up, kissed him and put his butt in the house.

Next, I swept that snake off into the side flower bed. It took a lot of sweeps to get it off and I did feel bad. It had to fall about 3.5 feet to hit the dirt.

It was hot as blue blazes that day and I again felt bad for the little f*er, so I made a shade shield for it. I figured it must be traumatized and just because I don't want the damn thing in my house does not mean it needs to be dead or hurt...

So, next I called Heljye and sweet boy came to me. Walked right by the snake, I held my breath, and he did not seem to see it. I snatched his butt up and took him inside.

Jaz was, well it is Jaz. He was sleeping on the bed. Snuggie stays so far gone that he is not much of an issue... so, the Rough Riders and Jaz stayed inside for a couple of hours to give snake time to slink off.

Then, yesterday, I found an animal that had made a valiant attempt to hide from 4 cats. Unfortunately it died as a result and that was NOT pretty, not pretty at all.

Damnable cats.


Well, I am trying to get it together to work as a consultant.

I am currently working for Sedi, helping her with marketing the airport shuttle...

A Greener Oakland-Marin Shuttle

I am learning to do internet based marketing. I am working on creating a linkedin account, a yelp account and a facebook fan page among other things.

I also discovered that the web designer did not put the correct info on her webpages to get search results to show her website... so working on getting that resolved quickly.

I am not really trying to work in marketing, but it is what she needs, benefits from the great insight of an anthropologist, and, it gives me a client name for my consulting work.

I believe we call that a win, win, win.

Ok, some lunch and back at the marketing work!
