Never thought I would get paid to write

Since an early age I have wanted to write. I have always loved books and getting lost in them and I wanted to give that experience to people who read my writing. To feel the characters pain and happiness but I never thought I would ever actually make any money from writing. I started blog after blog and they fell to the way side because I kept trying to do a blog for each hobby. Finally after they sat stagnant with no new content I decided to create one blog and combine them all together and thats how Life of a Mad Typer was born (after a few name changes that is.) When I first started I just wanted a place to flex my brain and keep in practice of writing. After being out of school for so long I felt like my writing was flowing from me and I was losing it. That is why I started to blog and I never thought I would get paid to write in the form of cash or products. It's been almost 2 years now since this blog itself has been going and I would like to think my parents would be proud of what I have built from the ground up. The blogging community is amazing and has blown me away with the kindness they have shown me.

Do you blog? Leave me your link in the comments so I can check out your blog!

Blogiversary and My new hair

Blogiversary and My new hair .

Hey all Just checked the information on currently published posts and this is our 666 post! That number may may some of you uncomfortable but to me it make me giggle. It brings to mind the times when I was a cashier and someone would buy something else or remove something from their purchase to remove that total from the register. They always gave me a chuckle that a number would cause such a reaction because to me it is just a number, BUT this is a great milestone we are over half way to 700 post in 1 short year. Our blogiversary is next month

redesign

Working on a few redesigns around here on the blog. I don't know if you have noticed the new layout and the new background. I have been working on a banner for a bit but have many many things going through my head! Here is one I made last night.

Day 6 blogging challenge

Favorite super hero and why. My favorite super hero has been sailor moon since I was 4. I always loved the story of reincarnation and true love. She was always my hero.

Day 5 blogging challenge

Today post is picture of a place I've been. I picked the House of Blues in Chicago. When I was on that floor in front of the stage I was in awe of its beauty. There was a majestic-ness to it, as if I could feel the energy from the building itself. Pictures are from google as I didn't have any pictures of the building itself.

30 days of blogging. Day3

So today was supposed to be a picture of me and friends but because I'm always behind the camera I don't have any from the last year! So here instead is me dressed up.

30 days of blogging day 2

Meaning of blog name.


I was going through some old notebooks that I wrote stories and poems and thoughts in and I had written on the cover thoughts of a mad typer. I though back to what I was thinking then and basically I thought the mad hatter was a hatter who went mad so why not someone who types and went mad! So thus came mad typer. I had originally had it as Bigboobyruby because of my nickname but after thought and input from others I realized the name could be taken wrong and people may think the blog was about something it's not. So I changed it.

Thinking about changing the blog URL.

I have been thinking about changing the URL as I believe people may think the blog is about something other than it is.

Is this weird to you?

I know this guy hes the father to my friends kids. Well the other day he died of a heart attack. I went to his facebook after i found out to say R.I.P when i saw that he had just been playing farmville 15 hours before and all I could think about would be that i would hate that to be the last thing I saw before i died. Well after a few hours someone posted on his page letting everyone known what happened. I am assuming it was his current girlfriend posting this. But what bothers me the most is after the post was made that he had died there were immediately posts from farmville about crops and levels and adopting animals and all I could think about was the fact that he had just died and this person( whoever is logged in as him) was playing farmville. And each day since i still receive gifts and it just bothers me horribly  to the point i think of blocking the gifts from that page. Is this wrong of me?

Corporate America and Infectious disease

In Corporate America there are many secrets. Some are confidential and some aren't. What i write about is the items that shouldn't be confidential that effect those in the immediate area. Companies hide a lot of things from their employees but should they be made to make light on those that are health threatening?

Each day anyone around you could have something so contagious all you have to do is sit in a chair they sat in, or accidentally bump into them in the hall. Depending on your companies policy your boss may never let you know that you are in danger.

Now I'm not saying that it should be blow the situation up and cause panic but the company should, as soon as they know, have that person go get it taken care of and not come back until they have the issue dealt with. Then I believe a cleaning crew should then take care of disinfecting the area of contamination. A memo should be sent out to alert that there had been a situation and the symptoms that should be watched for and if they occur then to contact your manager immediately and go for medical treatment.

So my question to you is: Should companies be forced to tell its employees about health issues that can directly effect them, so that a small issue doesn't end up a big problem, or should they continue as some already do keeping secrets locked behind doors. And should the people be disciplined for taking off the time to not spread the sickness? I'm not talking about the everyday flu I'm taking about scabies swine flu and other highly contagious items.

Could you imagine.......
