Account Rep Responded

Last night I contacted blogverise admin, complaining about one of my task off hold payment. I was surprise the representative responded so quick and hey I got paid for $10.00. I admit I am very pleased. Anywho, thanks blogvertise for the quick response and the payment.

Payment on Hold!

As I was going through my account at Blogvertise. I noticed that the task that I had taken a task in 02/25/2009 and has been approved and supposed to be paid in 03/27/2009, but when I checked my payment status it say's that it has been on hold. And it's worth $10.00. These day $10.00 is a lot for me anyway.

Blogvertise never sent me any email the reason why they put the payment on hold. I just now sent them an email. We'll see what they have to see. I am frustrated but oh well.

Sunday Outing

After Church I tooked the kids to the mall, after all the long walk and putting up with me shopping,( usually kids get so bored when they go shopping with their mom) I treat them to all american ice cream.

Justin is having a birthday cake ice cream. It's a new flavor, never had it before but seem like he enjoyed it.


My daughter Avory had chocolate mint on a sugar cone with springkle.



Oh! if you are wondering what I had? I had a chocolate chip ice cream. I only had one scoop. I am not really into sweet.

School Shopping & Gamestop trip

My kids and I tooked a trip at game stop this evening to buy some game for their DSi. I can't imagine how expensive the game are. For pre-owned DSi game it cost $29.99, and the new one are $ 40 and some buck. My goodness, there goes some of my pay check. I talked them into buying the less expensive the game that they really like. Which my daughter found the god passion game, and my bought a game that he really like on the same price as my daughter's game.

If you have two kids, you need to treat them equal in many ways. So that jealousy would not take place. But of course you cannot avoid that incident at time. Anywho, after the game stop trip, we went shopping on kids clothing for school. It has been tiring day, that was my big event for today. I called that big event cause I spent quiet a bit on them LOL.

Get Used to Working With the Public if You Are Shy

Being shy can be difficult, especially in the work environment. Follow some of these simple steps to help improve your social interactions, and decrease shyness in the workplace.

Relax! Remember, stress and fear will only hinder your ability to present yourself as a strong and confident person. If you need help relaxing, try some breathing exercises or meditation. Personal Appearance: Make sure that your wardrobe is professional, and well kept. People find it easier to interact with someone who promotes a positive self-image. Make Eye Contact. When speaking to a customer or co-worker, eye contact is essential to help maintain a good rapport. It shows respect, and helps establish trust. Smile. When we smile, it presents us to the world in a very non-threatening, helpful way. People will respond much more positively to a person who is smiling, than not. Be yourself. The problem most people have with social interactions in the workplace is lack of self-confidence. They are afraid to be themselves, for fear that they will be rejected on some level. Just be yourself, while trying to maintain a professional attitude at the same time.

Try to be helpful not only to customers, but also to fellow co-workers. A positive, helpful attitude goes a long way for office popularity. Maintain a professional attitude. It's good to be relaxed and pleasant in the work environment, but don't take it too far. It's one thing to be witty in the break room, but quite another to be loud, boisterous, and unprofessional. Get involved. It's hard to jump into social situations, but try to get involved as much as you feel comfortable with. Show up to the team builder, go out to happy hour with your co-workers...be a team player.

Strangely enough pretending you are not shy is rather effective - walk into a room and say hi to everyone while smiling.. if you blush nobody will notice much anyway! and soon nobody will even remember you as a shy person - believe me this works! I am a naturally shy person but I am so good at pretending not to be shy that nobody believes me if I say I am shy. Also if you work with or know someone with a charismatic friendly personality, pretend you are them. Envision & practice. Working next to others with outgoing personalities can be contagious just like smiling. Use this to your advantage.
Practice telling yourself that everyone loves you & you love people. Envision them smiling with warm feelings toward you, likewise back. It will get you in the mood to open up & relax.

Do not fall into the trap of "Office Gossip". Speaking in a negative way about your co-workers will do nothing to help your situation.
Do not be so socially aggressive, as to disturb the people you work with, or the customers you interact with. Try to find a happy medium between politeness and business interactions.
