The News: Monday, April 8 Edition

You know what takes a really long time? Calling 250 people. Especially when half of them actually answer the phone…I was hoping for voicemail all the way through the list. But, I’m about 1/3 done with this phase of the project, so now I’m rewarding myself with some computer time. I think my brain might be wired wrong, though, since a break consists of writing an affiliate news post and I’m good with that. Well, whatever. I like to look at new stuff even if I can’t afford it. My afternoon break will be to make a cake, so that should be fun.
