I was officially announced on the NowSourcing blog yesterday. Since then it's gotten 45 Sphinns (which means it front-paged), 35 Mixxes (also front-page material), and people were re-tweeting it left and right. Who knew a post about me would be so valuable to internet marketers?
I guess this means I'm now a suck-up-able online personality. Proof of that is in the comments on the post, and the 40+ people who followed me on Twitter today. My following is at 306 for now, but that's liable to change any minute =P (yep, I just got another follower)
Right now I'm just waiting for a client to sign off on a $1,000+ freelance gig and taking care of some things for NowSourcing. It's been busy, but really really fun. It especially helps that Brian knows how to manage people - he's actually the person who sent me the image above.
He has even kinda worked around me and set up a wiki ^.^ You have no idea how happy that makes me, especially with the double digit accounts I'm managing right now. That's not their value - that's how many I'm handling.
You know, there's a very real difference between doing lots of different things the same way, vs. lots of the same things in different ways each time. It's not nearly as rewarding to do the same set of tasks over and over, as it is to use the same methods in different applications each time.
At NowSourcing, the goal is always the same, but the ways to get there are always different. Lots of people have said I just belong in marketing. Although I dreamed of being in an advertising agency, the only real difference is where the ads are going and what we call our service.
Who knew I would end up here? Looking at the steps to get here, you could almost call it methodical - but I really had no freaking clue what I was doing. My intuition just pointed me in a direction, and I went for it. Thank you Will for teaching me to trust my gut =)

Maybe Fate does exist, and maybe our Fate is written in stone - but our Free Will is to either use thy Fate, or strive against it...
In other news, I just bought a 1GB RAM stick, and it's headed my way. Looks like it will be here Friday according to UPS ^.^ I've also picked out my second monitor. Looking forward to buying that when the first check from my freelance gig comes in =D
I'm pretty seriously considering getting a modem tho. The one Charter gave me keeps crapping out. I changed the wires though, and that seems to have fixed the issue. We'll see.
This Friday we're going to Beaufort to see some family, so I'm doing that week-before-3-day-vacation crunch with work. Of course, it's great that I CAN take some time away from all gadgets and not be tied to them, like I was at MNM. Yay for no time-dependent requirements ^.^
Catch ya'll later. Hopefully I'll get a chance to read my friends page in the next few days =P
