A part of me…

Last week I got my first mail from Google. It wasn’t a check but it was close enough – I received my PIN number for the AdSense account which I totally forgot I had (ok, I didn’t forgot about it, I just don’t check it very often).

In case you are not familiar, AdSense is the little (and not so little) ad blocks you see on some most of the websites – even this one   Every time someone clicks on the ads,  the AdSense account owner (in this case yours truly) gets paid for driving a potential customer on somebody elses site. This is the most popular way to monetize a website (unless you are offering a product or service but that’s another story). Anyway as the payments usually are sent by check, Google has to verify your physical address so they send you a mail with a PIN number which you have to enter in your AdSense account. Of course they don’t send it when you create the account (that would be a lot of postcards), but when you reach the minimum threshold of $10.

So basically last week I found out that for the last 3.5 months I had made $13.29 from AdSense (only $2.5 from this blog, the others are from Hubpages). I know this is nothing, but hey, it is not like I have done anything to earn more

P.S. I know you are tempted but please don’t try and help me out by clicking 100 times on the ads when you visit, because this may as well get me banned. Once or twice a week would be enough (just kidding… I think… )

So tomorrow I am having this meeting with some of the managers in the company I work for. To be honest I have no idea what we are gonna talk about, which makes me a bit nervous. Last week I thought I was gonna get the pink slip but thankfully get away with it. We will see how tomorrow meeting will go. Maybe the changes will be for good, or maybe not. I am still a bit worried about my job, even though I was assigned to work on yet another account. I can’t wait this week to pass. Not to mention that this weekend is the Spirit of Burgas fest and I already have a ticket.  I just wish this week is over!

UPDATE: OK, the meeting went really well. We talked about 6 hours of what is done on the websites, why it is done this way, what should be done and what are we palnning to do from now on. I must say it was one of the better days at the office, something i didn’t expect.

Today I was supposed to have a conversation with the HR in my company, a convesation I was worried will lead to me being “released of duty”. However the conversation didn’t take place and it wasn’t even rescheduled.  I don’t know what to think 0f this,  should I be relieved or worried? Should I even think about it? I mean I don’t even know what we will be talking about.  I have always been a person who doesn’t worry about stuff he cannot change, but then again I haven’t been in this situation before. Anyway for the time being I still have a job so I guess I should try and make myself useful, even if I am just postponing the inevitable.

UPDATE: I finally had this conversation with the HR and yes, I still have a job. The conversaation was regarding a request I made a couple of weeks ago when I wanted to switch to part time because of the freelance project I had then. Anyway it turned out I had nothing to worry about but this couple of days did gave me some perspective of what might happen.  And to think I was complaining that there was no excitement in my life
