Three hours per week at $36 per hour was more in the realm of “gas money” than “building up a safety net,” but it was less about the money. I found a gig one night a week at a studio a few blocks away from the agency. I’d taught dance on-and-off since high school, and although I had intended to take some time off, I realized at that point that I needed passion in my life. Here’s how: I side-hustled for my sanity. Two, I had to do it while I was still working there. I knew two things: One, I had to find something else, fast. Jobs in my field didn’t grow on trees, and I’d just pulled myself out of the industry. I had an English degree and two years of experience at a local magazine. But how could I pull that off? Two years at a low salary (at least, in Toronto) and semi-significant student debt didn’t give much of a safety net, especially not a big enough one to quit my job with no way of knowing when I’d get a new one. Working hard and being nice didn’t seem to matter. The founder also had very different values from me and was always looking to debate me on issues like feminism. I was the only woman in the office and by far the youngest, and the guys, who were all at different places in their lives, really didn’t care for me. The blogging felt haphazard and improvised. The work was uninteresting and unchallenging. In seven months, I contributed to exactly one script.īy the third day, I woke up with a dark cloud over me. The blog would serve to communicate the company’s (his) values, to be an industry “disruptor.” I hated blogging and had been looking forward to learning copywriting, but it turns out (he didn’t mention this during the interviews) that the company had a part-time writer who worked remotely and didn’t want to give up writing the scripts. The founder revealed that he wanted me to focus less on scripts and more on blogging - which wasn’t the job description. I was ready to reject any potential offer, until it came in at $42,000 CAD ($31,168 USD) - 40% more than what I’d been making. He was super enthusiastic, but seemed very stuck on the company’s identity and “culture,” and he was enamored with the idea of becoming an influencer and thought-leader. It’s not that he felt “sketchy,” but the environment felt off. When I met with the founder, I seemed to impress him, but he didn’t impress me. According to the post, I’d be writing ad copy for clients, mostly in video formats. I got a request for an interview right away from a small agency just outside of Toronto. But being too inexperienced to catch the attention of better outlets and too poorly paid to sustain much more time at the magazine, I applied for a few out of desperation. One of my colleagues suggested copywriting, but I wasn’t sure - reporting was my passion. At first, I tried to find another journalism job - I told myself that even if the whole industry was this tough, hopefully, I could be paid a little more to take it. So: if my first job was so great, why leave? While the work itself was great, the company was dysfunctional (my boss had a temper), I was only making $30,000 CAD ($22,263 USD) per year, and I worked regular overtime. This is about how I kept myself sane and pushed my way to a new job without gaps in employment. This is a story about the job that came next, where I couldn’t fall back on “this is my dream.” This job made me miserable, when on paper it shouldn’t have. Even when times were tough there (and trust me, they got really tough), I was able to remind myself: “You are working the job you’ve wanted since you were little.” In 2012, after months of struggle, I got my first full-time job out of university, working as a news editor at a local magazine.

I'd also enjoy if you could have an open world environment, allowing you to fully customize your house, an area for your pets. I know this is just a pipe dream, but if Fantage survived today, I would like for it to be a full blown RPG with a 3D environment, much more in-depth minigames, quests, a much bigger map, etc. Further clogging their user base with unused accounts.Īnyways, your article was very informative and reading Fantage's downfall, from the mismanagement to the server/security issues and what not was both interesting and sad at the same time. But from what I remember, it was common to merely make a fake account, play for an hour and or get membership for a short amount of time and then cancel. I suspect that the Invite-A-Friend medal was part of the reason why they were to able to reach 30M+ users. I understand that the game needed money to continue operating, but still. There was basically nothing you could do without a membership or ecoins. But by far, my biggest problem with the game was its treatment of non-members. I remembered in 2010/2011 when people would do "dirty stuff" in user barns. The only thing worthwhile for a Premium Membership was honestly having a high level/medals (if you cared about that stuff). With people being able to get 1M+ ecoins without actually having to buy them anymore (just sell an eCoined item you had for a high price), and now you could now enjoy things like having pets, houses, clothes, etc by simply getting them from ecoins, devalued having a Premium membership. Your point on them accumlating debt in 2012/2013 makes me wonder if the fact that Trade-N-Sell making it easier to get so many ecoins very easily tanked sales. Sure, it was fun when you could get every item in the game now, but there was a lot of scamming and when getting 1M+ stars and eCoins became much more easier, I knew that there would have to be something done to fix the devaluing of the game's currency. When the Trade-N-Sell came out, I knew it meant that major changes were going to happen to the game. Tougias has interviewed over 100 people who survived against all odds, and researched many historical figures who have achieved the near-impossible. Tougias captivates the audience by chronicling harrowing survival stories and discusses the lessons learned. In this presentation, New York Times b estselling author Michael J. But too often, we don't realize that there is a wealth of information to learn from people who make it to the other side of life's most daunting challenges. We have all heard amazing stories of survival that rendered us awestruck. This presentation focuses on prewriting and invention, the earliest phases of writing, and welcomes verbal emptiness to develop equanimity.Įxtreme Survival: Lessons From Those Who Have Triumphed Against All Odds Among several techniques, we’ll practice moment tracking to jumpstart that dream project and embrace where it takes us. Every moment is perfect for writing: starting means entering an ongoing river of language. This presentation helps you enter the present moment and begin writing that piece, maybe one you’ve been contemplating for years, within minutes. How to bring this inchoate sensation to form and structure? We often waste time psyching ourselves up or fantasizing about the perfect final draft. For many of us, beginning a new piece of writing can be daunting. Prohibited from serving in military units and largely considered "undesirable elements," how is it that these African-American soldiers came to fight for the cause of liberty, even when their own personal liberty was not guaranteed? Glenn Knoblock examines the history of African-American soldiers' service during the war, including how and why they enlisted, their interaction with white soldiers, service on the battlefields, how they were perceived by the enemy and the officers under whom they served, and their treatment after the war.īeginner’s Mind for Writing: How to Start Anything through Mindful Writingĭo you have something in you that wants to be written? It doesn’t matter what kind of writing-poem, novel, memoir, speech, newspaper article, or workplace document-you feel a tug to express. Indeed, their service to the colonies was crucial in a conflict that lasted nearly seven years. Both free African Americans and those that were enslaved were key in manning state militias and Continental Army units, as well as serving on the high seas in the Navy and on privately armed ships. One of the most interesting aspects of the American Revolution is the role played by African Americans in the fight for independence. Historian Dan Billin presents an illustrated lecture that plumbs the depths of anti-abolitionist sentiment in antebellum New Hampshire and the courage of Black students who were destined for greatness.Īfrican American Soldiers and Sailors of New Hampshire During the American Revolution Students who passed through that fire-Julia Williams, Henry Highland Garnet and Alexander Crummell-went on to extraordinary careers in the fight against slavery and for Black civil rights. Young Black men and women flocked to Noyes Academy but were soon driven away by a voter-sanctioned mob that dragged their school building a half-mile down the main street and threatened them with death. Canaan, N.H., became one of many New England flashpoints after abolitionists there opened a school for all students, regardless of race or gender. In the mid-1830s, the emergence of an aggressive abolitionist movement provoked fierce blowback-including widespread mob violence in the North. American slavery divided not just the North from the South, but also northerners from each other.

Carmax gives you a quote that is good for 30 days I think, so go get one from them and then take it to the dealer and see if they can do better.Call (737) 770-3411for instant approval 1 It's easy and you walk away with a check. If selling a car to an individual makes you uncomfortable, by all means, sell to a dealer or Carmax. I've also used Autotrader to sell cars, there's a fee, but you get better traffic. I could have possibly gotten more if I had held out - Carmax had an identical car for sale for $16000 - can you imagine - that was almost the cost of it when it was new! Dealer offered us $9000 for it and I sold it on craigslist to the first person who responded on the first day for $11000. Last year, we had a 2006 Civic in great condition with low miles. If you're buying new, they'll deduct the cost of the trade-in from the sales price so you pay less sales taxes. Neither a car dealer or Carmax will give you more than trade-in value, and there's no guarantee there. First thing to do is go to the websites like Edmunds, KBB, NADA, etc and get an estimate of what it's worth Trade-In and Private Party. There are a lot of dynamics at work when it comes to selling a used car. They got a pretty good deal, I sold the car in two days. I contacted someone who was LOOKING for a vehicle and made the deal. My only local CL sale was pretty smooth except for the paperwork required by the county. It seems the Volvo forum sales are pretty active for vehicles as well as parts, accessories, etc. If it's an interesting car that has a 'club' following, you might try their club site(local or regional) to find parties 'zeroed in' on your model. You could also check KBB and the prices being asked on various sites, including craig's. Edmunds lists trade-in, private party sale and dealer retail on their site to give you some idea of the 'value' of your ride. In theory, a private sale should land somewhere between wholesale and used retail. Naturally, the dealers want to deal with a wholesale price so they can make their profit. CarMax is pretty straightforward once the process starts(in the past, anyway). I reckon the dealer might make an offer if the vehicle is sought after. I could also place an ad on craiglist, etc., but I've heard that is a huge hassle and might take forever.ĬarMax will take the car and give 'top' dealer dollar only if the car is bone stock and has very little wear(at least, that's been my experience). a place like CarMax? I'm not looking to buy a new car, just sell a second car that we don't use.

No matter if you’re using a tour operator or planning your own trip for the group, you need to have a plan for gathering payments. Regardless of whether you’re planning yourself or working with a tour operator, this lead time is key for the success of your large group. Because of that lead time they had options like Muirfield on the table that almost certainly wouldn’t have been possible if planning 10-12 months out. I recently worked with a group of 12 planning their trip two years in advance. Start Planning Much Further in Advanceīecause of the need to secure a potentially large block of tee times or hotel rooms, your options will remain much wider if you start booking your trip well in advance. There needs to be a single point of contact to communicate with the tour company, gather payments from the group, and ensure there’s a clear message sent to the tour operator. This point about a leader holds especially true if your group chooses to use a tour operator. Everyone has different ideas, preferences, and tendencies and while the leader should take those opinions into account, there needs to be one person who makes the final choice and manages everything. Rule by committee doesn’t work with large golf trip groups. Tour operators often have their own vehicles or partnerships with ground transportation companies and fleets of drivers. Not only are those vans very difficult to drive on Scottish roads, but they’re also very difficult to park (especially in places like St Andrews). Everything from securing the tee times to booking the hotels is much more difficult and tour operators can often leverage their relationships to get large groups onto courses and generally make things easier.įurther, ground transportation with a large group limits you to large vans or buses. The amount of work to self plan a large group trip to Scotland is exponentially more than planning for a small group. Large groups are one of the times I often recommend taking a tour operator. In this article I’ll address each of those points and more that will help you in planning a golf trip for a large group. I chose that number because any more than four requires 2+ tee time, a larger block of rooms, and perhaps most importantly, a well-planned ground transportation strategy. What comprises a large group? I consider any more than a four golfers to be a large group.
