For whatever reason I really like that line from Lady Gaga's new single... 'Alejandro'. I just relate to it... I feel like a baby with so many things in life, and an old pro at others. It's weird really. A while ago, a friend of mine and I were talking about our 'passions'. Asking one another.. what is your passion? It turns out hers is fashion, even though she is trapped in a job staring into a microscope day in and day out. What is my passion? Well, I would say my passion is a cross between two topics. Writing/helping others.
I enjoy writing about everything that occurs in my life.. either here... or on other sites I possess... I rarely write in my personal journals anymore.. I should probably get to that.. but I get lazy sometimes. I enjoy helping others with their problems. I do not like that my friends and family have problems at all, and I wish I could solve them.. since I can't.. all I can do is listen. I would much rather listen than talk about my own issues... that, is far too painful for me to address.
My Mom and others have told me that I should become a social worker or counselor or something. I can see it. I've had friends call me at wee hours in the morning needing my help, I've had family members confide their deepest, darkest, secrets in me. I am the keeper of secrets it seems. And, I keep them well.
I do not think an office job will make me happy. I think the paycheck will, and that's rather sad. I would love to 'work' but never 'work' a day in my life... if that makes any sense. I wish I could do something that I love. Of course, I need to find out what that is.. first and foremost. Right now, I don't love much of anything. I don't write stories, I don't write poetry... I'm just not 'in it' anymore. This is probably due to my emotional state of mind, which I am not going to get into here... I will say it's getting better though.. occasional relapses here and there, but no one is perfect.
Still employed with Armia Systems, and not enjoying it at all. By the end of June, I plan on doing something different with my time... because this company truly isn't worth it.
Happy Summerness everyone. :D
Here's to a fun three months of sun, beaches, beer, and good times.
We out.

The Only Successful Blog-I wrote for my new job
Hey guys,
I literally just read this blog out loud to my lovely Mom a few seconds ago. I like it. My boss from iScripts.com let's me blog about their software and other computer geek fancy terms. Since, I am more of a dork than a geek anyway, it's a bit of a struggle to keep up with the IT world. But, I am trying. Here, is my only successful attempt. :( So far.....

Barter networks for the new economy
Filed under: Web services — Tags: barter software, eswap, swap, trade — sarahprais @ 4:58 pm
Today’s economy is definitely in a crisis. For businesses, employers, and their clients to stay afloat during these hard times, money isn’t easy to come by. What if there was a different way to do business? What if you didn’t have to worry about how much you spend and how it will affect you in the long run? There is an answer, an old fashioned way of doing business; it’s called bartering. iScripts eSwap can offer your business a way to do just that. No more worrying about expenses and stressing over issues that you simply can’t change. Now, the economy is your oyster, and you have full control over how you run your business.
Let’s start from the beginning. Here is a perfect article for those of you that don’t entirely understand the concept of barter. (Short on cash? There’s always barter By: Anne Fisher) Fisher explains through people she has interviewed just how the bartering system is used in average businesses across the U.S. today. She cites Joe Montanez, the owner of Bon Voyage Limousine in her article. It is amazing that he can still run a business without ever essentially ‘paying’ anyone back. Instead of using dollars, he uses common sense. Montanez uses an online source to barter his way into doing business with clients. It’s basically a way to trade your services, to obtain someone else’s.
This is why iScripts eSwap is the perfect solution to monetary problems. This online barter software allows the user of the site to swap, buy, and/or sell items. You can create a barter network 2.0 using this software in less than 30 minutes. The users of the site are able to add a wish list to share with their members. They can also negotiate offers and exchange items to their discretion. This is an open source barter script that can allow any amount of modification to bring the wonderful world of bartering to your business.
If a user posts their wish list to their members, this shows what the user wishes to purchase. The members can respond and suggest a trade. Let’s say, the user doesn’t have the money to pay for something he/she wants right away, perhaps another member of the site can barter with them. Instead of paying over the site with a credit card, they can exchange a trade of sorts. The user will provide a service to the member, in order to receive the product they desire. In this way, there is no money exchanged directly, and both parties are satisfied. One party receives a service (maybe car repair) and the other gains an object from their own wish list.
This definitely seems like a win-win situation. The user and his/her member are not using money, but services instead to complete their transaction. Bartering will help those that do not have the necessary funds to complete transactions either for personal or business use. You can keep your business running, with iScripts eSwap. In this day and age, services rendered instead of money are the keys to success.

Updates
There are some good updates, nay... great updates in my life so far. :) Great things don't happen to me very often these days.. but, for once.. the face of karma or whatever you want to call it, decided to smile upon me instead of the latter.
I am no longer a Potbelly employee. :) I am simply working with Aji now. I write articles, will soon learn more about the companies' newsletters, and I call customers to see how they like the software thus far. I am learning the software and computer terminology bit by bit. At least my boss is patient with me, so far. Hehe.
Anyways, Potbelly's caused me much drama with my manager and shift lead alike. I can't go into detail, or mention names obviously.. but, I will say this.. you never really know anybody. People that you think you can trust, seem to be the first ones to really let you down. I was let down by these people. At first, they were cool... things were going alright.. then, a shift... a change happened... and I just couldn't take it there anymore. I was miserable, angry, and depressed working there.
It's a weight of my shoulders to be free of that place. I mean, my position now is by no means a future career move, but it's a stepping stone. A foot in the doorway eventually leading me to a full time position somewhere... with some writing assignments to guide me.
I've been spending more time with my Mom on weekends. I think it brings us closer together. Not that we fight all the time or anything, in fact we rarely argue, but when it does happen, it can get pretty ugly. I guess after my Dad died, I am starting to appreciate my Mom more, I understand why she worries the way she does, and I'm going to try and lessen those worries for her.
I don't want her to worry about me. But, I know she always will. I just want to finally be an adult, have my own money so she doesn't have to pay for anything for me anymore. I'm trying, but trying doesn't get results.
What else can I say? I'm just trucking along this path called life... hoping it will lead me somewhere.... yeah....
We out.
