Just saw this Seth Godin post (via Stephen Abram – thanks!) – The world’s worst boss. The whole post is worth a read – here’s the part that really struck me:

If you had a manager that talked to you the way you talked to you, you’d quit. If you had a boss that wasted as much as your time as you do, they’d fire her. If an organization developed its employees as poorly as you are developing yourself, it would soon go under.

Can you relate to that? Better yet – what are you going to do about that for 2011? Here’s some assumptions I’ll make about YOU:

Those ideas you have? Probably good ones. Certainly worth trying anyway.
Those improvements you want to make? Personally or in your job? Why haven’t you started yet?
Those hesitations you’re having about taking a first step? Get over it already and take that first step. You won’t know if you’re going the wrong way until you actually start moving.

Me? Gee whiz – I’m writing this for myself So get moving, start acting, and see where you end up going in 2011. Should be a fun journey, to say the least.

Dear dede,

We are looking for some people that are interested in working from their home on a part or full-time basis.

If you want to earn $100, $200 a day, and you don't mind writing some short opinions up, this is the perfect opportunity for you!

These companies are fighting for exposure on the internet and know the more people blogging about them, means the more exposure they are going to get, and ultimately the more money they are going to make.

There has been an explosion in the need for online writers, regardless of skill. These companies are more interested in your honest genuine opinions when you're writing blog entries about their company... not if you are a very talented writer.

If you're looking for work, or just want to make some part time money on the side, please come check out the jobs we have available.

Ebook After Christmas Rush

Posted: 29 Dec 2010 01:27 PM PST

Overdrive apparently experienced an “after Christmas rush” that has caused their service to temporarily slow down. Here’s what they say about it:

“In the last few days, you and your users may have experienced error messages or slow page loads when visiting your library's 'Virtual Branch.' This temporary slowdown was due to an unprecedented spike in traffic on our library websites following Christmas. While we expected a surge in usage after the holiday, your customers' interest in eBook and audiobook downloads was greater than anyone anticipated. Many of your websites saw usage double overnight, up from what were already record levels prior to Dec. 25.”

Wow. Ultimately, that’s a good thing – once Overdrive gets the service fully functional again, it means more users. Not a bad problem at all.

But it made me think:
