I have re-sorted the tasks for the department by priority & assigned tasks differently. I also flagged any straggler tasks that other teams can help clarify or clear out.

We got hit with some snow yesterday so this morning was spent shoveling from what came down last night and then shoveling the end of the driveway after the plow went through. Going to hop in the shower here soon and then work on creating more content for my Instagram/TikTok pages that will be posted throughout the day. Also waiting on a client to purchase their web hosting and domain name so I can build out the website I designed for them.

That's cool - are they buying hosting directly from you, or are you referring them to a provider?

Nice - how long is your average morning call? Ours is supposed to be 15-30 mins, but is routinely 30-60 minutes :(


Nice - prescription or sunglasses?
I saw that about your phone, keep that for the whining wednesday thread ;)

This one is for a WordPress website I will just build with Elementor Pro based on the design I created in Figma. So I just send them links to Hostinger or dreamhost wordpress plans.

I have had the thought of adding a page to my personal portfolio website that would only be used for SEO purposes and possibly to run Google ads. It would be a page to target local companies/individuals looking for websites. I'd probably focus on WordPress websites as using Elementor Pro would allow me to build them a lot quicker than custom coding while I am still in college at the moment. If I go that route since they would be local or somewhat local clients I would purchase cloud hosting through cloudways and then charge the clients either a monthly or yearly rate for hosting. Then I can just expand the server storage when I need to add new websites on etc... At least I have heard of other web designers going this route and it is a great way to make easy extra income off of charging the clients for hosting.

I was offering high cost smart contract coding services, so I'm not too surprised. I might reapply to do my standard dev work - always nice to make a few extra thousand per year doing odd jobs on weekends.

Ah gotcha - I have to get tested, my eyesight isn't bad but I've noticed it's not as good as 10 years ago and I'm in front of a computer all day which isn't helping.

Text is much clearer on the right eye but not as on the left. Left is super sharp and super strong lol xd

My dad has issues like that where only 1 is really bad, so he has special glasses that help adjust them without giving him migraines. special glass for each eye.

0.25 on the left
0.50 on the right

and then he said my right eye is weaker than my left by 10-20%...
