Provocation Of Mine (d)

Alive, but infected with the Niche thing…

Long time no write, ehh….Although, honestly, that’s nothing unusual in the repotoire of how I blog. Disappearing for months on end has been one of the blog conditions I’ve come down with many times over my years of blogging. It’s sort of like getting a fever, one must lay low for awhile, regroup, and start again with a renewed system. Usually when I [...]

Moving Along With Some Changes

“Eighteen days” said the feed status since the last time I wrote in this corner of the Internet Highway. Is that a sad display of blog love or is it a clear sign of neglect? Either way, thankfully this blog can’t call me in or report me to a blog neglect site (that I know of anyway) Can you imagine [...]

Huggable with an armful of Niche Sympathy

Sometimes those who blog inadvertently become ‘authorities’ on certain subject matters by what they write. Now moi, me, El Rebeccason, who writes random nonsense and who is lacking a niche, blogging identity and official technorati category is the least likely person to earn authority on anything. Normally, I’m just not that kind of girl. However, it seems my wee little [...]

Comments for a Cause is [...]

Some People Are Not Every People

First, I would like to thank, BIG THANK YOU, all the people who visited my last entry and went over to Heathers to comment for a cause. I was beyond thrilled, heart warmed and excited by the response. Thank You so much! ~~~~~~~~ Sometimes it’s a public incident that gets feathers ruffled and a blanket outcry of [...]

October, it’s so nice to meet you

Yesterday brought the first day of October and with that new date an impressive show of bone chilling cold to Idaho. Well hello Mr. Fall/Winter you sorta kicked Summer and her blazing warm panties off her September soapbox, now didn’t ya. I’m ok with that because I was pretty tired of wearing my warm weather clothing and [...]

Woman Genius, Man Squeamish

This entry is for the ladies. Men, if you read it, don’t say I didn’t warn you. (exclamation point to the tenth degree) (seriously, I WARNED YOU, no whining) I’ve got it. It only took 30 some odd years to come up with the perfect verbal rebuttal system against all things boy/man whine. But I’ve got it now. I am locked and loaded. Now, I wouldn’t throw [...]

Technical Writer, Death via paper cut

admin — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 20:01:27 +0000

Recently I was hired for a writing job. The hiring process went a bit like this…….. Evil: “Hey, you’re a writer, will you freelance a report for our company?” Rebecca: “Oh, I don’t know, I write and all, but I really don’t think I’m that sort of writer.” Evil: ” We’ll pay you XY plus Z for 50 pages.” Rebecca: “Send over the contract, I am [...]
