just when you thought it couldn't get any more insane
School got out two hours early today due to the continuing snowfall. In other news, chances are that I'll be teaching all new 6th grade classes on Monday! This is the second time that my schedule has been completely changed this year, just when I thought that I was doing all right with my current students. Such is the life of an inner-city school teacher. I signed up for this, remember?
The Brass Monkey concert is tomorrow, which is sort of shaping into a 23rd birthday celebration. The doors will open at 9, so we hope to see anyone and everyone there. Hit me up with an e-mail if you have any questions or need a ticket.
So, yeah, Epinions. Apparently you can make money from writing reviews about just about anything. I wrote 4 reviews of video game stuff during my third year in college and made a whopping $1.86. I figure, hey, if you're going to waste time on the internet, you might as well improve your writing and get paid at the same time. On Sunday I basically looked around my room and wrote epinions on my camera, Gamecube, The Treehouse Book, The Complete Idiot's Guide To Children's Publishing, the new Phish album and the island of Saba. I just free-wrote for 10-15 minutes without stopping for those little things like "spelling" or "logic". The way you're paid is sketchy though. They don't give you an exact formula, but a portion of the money they make through their product reviews goes to you through a complicated system of trusting other members and rating their reviews. On the 15th of every month they distribute money, so maybe I'll get eight cents for all my hard work. Nick joined a couple of days ago and is on a quest to review office supplies like paperclips and markers because, really, who would check out a website for paperclips? Let me know if you decide to waste your time and join too so we can scam the system together (username: okaysamurai).
