Blogging pay off!

Here in broken arm land, I have had the lovely distintion of being on Disability for the past almost four months. Since I was pretty much over the whole "working at a resturant" anyway, I have continued with my often in vain job searching looking for something that's interesting, perferably realted to something I have experience in and maybe pays decently. After the break, I added in "can do one handed", and as time went by and that disability check looked more and more pathetic, I dropped interesting. Heck, as our bank account dwindled, I stopped even thinking about paying decently. And then it reached an all time low of "OMG someone HIRE me!. The want ads are small to begin with here. The market is sad. Economically this area is strung out. You would think that over three/ four plus months, I would have mailed out a crap load of resumes, but it has only been a few a week at best. I had one interview back around Thanksgiving. All and all, it's been depressing. I have NEVER had a problem getting a job before. Really, it got bad. I sent my resume into Stewarts. And they didn't even call! But on Saturday I went on the RegionlalHelpWanted.com, posted my resume, and answered the first ad. Before I could finish looking over the site, I got a call from the first ad. And yesterday, I had my interview and today I got the call. And I start Monday. Guess the funniest part about this? I got this job because I blog. Its a Blog job. I am a blogger technician. The first Blog Tech for Bloggio. I find and contact other bloggers and then assist in providing them with Press Releases that pertain to their content. Like kinda of what I do here with say Donaldson PRs, or Ethica, or Origins-USA..cept not all adoption..at all. And like what we did for the Stephanie Bennett Blogger Blitz..giving out the info to bloggers so they can choose to write about it..or not. Oh, and somehow in that there is payment to Bloggers for taking part, but not on the condition that they write about the press release. So that's very cool. This company is into Ethics! :) So officially, it's another sign that Bloggers get credibility. That we matter. And I can get down with that!. And there is that whole "get paid to Blog"..not that I am getting paid to Blog..I'm geting paid to research Bloggers and contact them...but I like places that give Blogs weight! And then there is the "Blogger Alliance" which I really, REALLY dig considering that almost four months later I am still walking around with a broken humerous due to lack of insurance. And all and all..I think I am pretty excited. It's only 10 minutes away. It's something I can do one handed. And its a geek job. where I can sit on a computer all day..talking to bloggers..reading blogs...getting paid... And Rye had to eat his words. lol That part's really funny.
