This entry was conceived, on Crowne Plaza Springfield stationery, while I was at the dinner-portion of a Dinner Presentation by
StoresOnline, which I had decided to see about; while I'm still looking for a job, I'm also looking at residual-income or other non-traditional income opportunities.
From the Springfield Crowne Plaza, on Friday (February 27th) evening (though finally being typed on the night of Wed., March 4th, partially because the internet was out that night... Had a I known that, I might've gone to Perkins again [or elsewhere], as their "dinner" was unusually not-good... described by the woman sitting next to me as "bread and water" [no coffee!] ;-) :
-----------------
Tonight, instead of being at
CPAC 2009 (there are 12 UIS College Republicans in Washington, D.C. right now, for CPAC; I'm not an enrolled student anymore, but could've gone with them), I am at a dinner seminar for
StoresOnline. I have been looking for residual or web-based income opportunities... And an old friend recently mentioned the possibility of getting into drop-shipping.
So, this seemed like good timing.
However, the presentation didn't have much, and there is a follow-up, on Wednesday, March 11th, with 6 hours of training; those of us who attended this one get a sharp discount on that follow-up, and it's a one-time-only charge, so I went ahead and paid by check.
I was also kicking myself, because I just realized that I still (unless it's expired, and unrecoverable) have $179.00 worth of credit, from
Southwest Airlines, from a UIS CR whose ticket I purchased last year (for
CPAC 2008), but who cancelled. I could've used that, towards attending CPAC 2009! (Then again, there would've been a ton of other expenses, and I've already been twice before.)
I wish....
...that I would remember what I was thinking, when I stop blogging in mid-sentence, to edit other parts of the same post!
----------
Since I wasn't able to post this entry (even as a draft) on Friday night, I did it on Saturday night, after I had the opportunity to see (and "live"-blog, from the couch) some CPAC 2009 panel speeches (I knew I could access it online, but realized, from recent Blagojevich Senate experience [thanks, Chris Bennett], that C-SPAN would serve this purpose; considering I've been on there before, that should've jumped to mind anyway!), and maybe
Hush Bimbo's CPAC-closing speech as well.
I saved a draft below, and one above, where maybe that can go.
But the thing is, when I was blog-scribbling on the Crowne Plaza note pamphlet, I did another entry, slated for the following day. Now, the month has changed (why is February so short?), so these posts won't even be on the same archive page. Still, this beats having those "post pages"; I'm glad that this blog still uses anchor permalinks.
Aren't you?
