When I worked for the SEO firm, we had a huge sales floor, and the phones rang off the hook. The sales people were wired to their desk for hours, and unable to get up from their desk and walk around. Once we went to wireless telephone headsets that all changed. They could answer their phone in the lunch room if they wanted to, and they could even be outside on a smoke break, but still talking to a client. Sales people are generally movers, so having the telephone headsets allowed them to stand up, talk with their hands, and make their pitches more effectively.

I have been super busy creating advertisement placement information for my blogs. I’ve got so many inquires about it lately, that I felt it was time to put something on a uniform document with packages and prices

Michael wrote a script that went in and ran a report for me showing the PR of all my pages. He set this as a cron job to run about once a month, so I can keep up to date with the ever changing page rank updates. This will help immensely with placing text link ads throughout my site.

Once I get this all set in stone, then I can create an advertising page here, and my other blogs, with all the information needed to advertise. This will make my blogging life much easier.

I called PayPal this morning, and they said they had not gotten my documents, and had me send them again while I was on the phone with them. They didn’t get them that time either, so basically yes. My drivers license and marriage certificate copies are floating around somewhere in cyberspace. Niiiice. As a victim of identity theft, this does not please me at all. I just sent all the copies they need to change my name on the good old pony express, and hopefully they will reach their destination safely. How long does it take for a horse to travel from Nevada to Nebraska?

I watched Michael Moore on The Tonight Show last night talking about his new movie, and there were some really scary facts about health care coverage and traveling, like some places not even accepting your insurance. That is scary to me, and I’d like to believe that we are fully covered, but I guess you can’t be too sure, or can you?

With the purchase of medical travel insurance before you leave on your trip you can be guaranteed additional coverage for yourself. These coverages also include extreme sporting events you may participate in while on vacation like skiing, hot air ballooning, and scuba diving. All the activities that would increase your risk of injury.

So it’s probably best if you check first on the type of coverage that you and your family can get. They even cover seniors, with a special rate for over 65 years of age. Even Pre-exsisting conditions are covered.

Michael is working late tonight, and not home yet. JR is at work until 10, and Justin is up in his room playing WOW. I tried to lay down on the couch and watch TV, but I got instantly bored with nothing really that good to watch. I’m fairly certain if I laid down in bed, I would fall asleep but I can’t as I’m still on taxi duty.

I’m going to get out my To-do list again tomorrow and get some things crossed off it. One of them is going to the bank to change my name. Oh, you know I still have not gotten an email notification about my name change from PayPal. It would be really nice to know that a copy of my marriage certificate and my drivers license are not out there floating around in cyberspace.

Added to the To Do List – call PayPal.
