I Broke Down
You’ll notice in my right sidebar that I now have some Google ads on there. WyTF not?
Remember how I said once that when I bought my own domain, one of the reasons I did so was because I started off with a free site that had ads on the top all the time and I wanted those ads off.
Now I see ads on everybody’s site – on purpose!!! And as much as I vowed never to do that, for some reason I just felt like it.
Oh, I’m not being true to myself, you say. Ah, shut up. If I’m doing what I feel like doing then I’m true to myself, so stop ragging on me.
I am so farging glad it’s Friday. Even though I only had a three-day week this week, I’m happy Friday’s finally here. You know next week is going to seem soooooo long.
I think I need to work out a schedule where I have an extra day off every week. That doesn’t quite fit in with my vacation schedule though. I only get three weeks a year. Fifteen days a year, I could maybe take an extra day off a month.
Maybe I’ll do that in the coming year. Maybe they’ll find somebody who comes to work more often.
I finally had to tell them at work that I just didn’t have time for one of the reports – a third quarter report. I am inundated with reports – and every time I turn around they’re piling yet another report on me to do.
One of the managers was taking responsibility for this newest report getting done. He was going to pull one of two people off something else to get them to do my latest report. Unfortunately, their current bosses would not let them be pulled, so the manager had to do the report.
I’m hoping that it will become his responsibility. They’re already talking about getting help for me – back-up. I hope that’s not a bad sign. I hope that only means that there’s someone there to back me up when I’m so inundated. That’s all I need – a back-up who’s better than I am and can do all the reports and more. Bye, bye, Jafer.
Enough of that. I’ll deal with that when IF the time comes.
In the meantime, perhaps I’ll make a whole bunch of money off my Google advertising and it won’t matter that I’m a jobless schlub.

Sheesh I hate how easy it is to see where you are from and tailor the ads just for you.
Pity about your reports, I love reports I can do reports in my sleep, in fact I do do reports in my sleep. Did I mention I have no life?
BFG, that’s what I like about the ads – they’re tailored to my country, things I wrote. I think that’s great, rather than some static stuff on there that doesn’t apply to anything.
And expect some reports to write in the next few days, I’ll send you some to do for me so you don’t waste away those sleeping hours.
I put them on my site to see how it worked and to be honest, I don’t think that anybody besides me has clicked on them. That’s okay. I was just curious and have been thinking of removing them but I don’t think they are too intrusive (maybe that’s why nobody is clicking them 
) and it’s kinda funny to see what ads they come up that are based on my blog :p
Richard, I think in the terms of service there’s a spot that says you can’t click on them yourself, so I haven’t clicked on any of mine although I have typed the url into a tab to see where a couple took me.
I don’t care really, I just figured if there was a chance of making any money, I’d go with it, it’s not like I make money off my websites any other way.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
Welcome to the dark side, Muahahahaha!
So how did you get rounded edges on your ads?
