Farmville Productivity Spreadsheet

The title says it all. For those of you with farms, download this helpful sheet to determine what to plant. For those of you without, allow me to elaborate. Farmville is a Facebook game. In said game, you have a virtual farm where you can plant different crops, buy animals, orchard trees (if i may verb 'orchard'), and build small useless buildings. This is an awesome time waster. So, check the nerd level on this one: i says to myself, "self, you are guessing on how to make the most money. what you should do i concoct a formula calculating maximum profit, create a spreadsheet and make your farming decisions that way." If i had a real farm that would be an effective business strategy and a great use of my time. However, i do not, and it is not. Without further ado...

Spreadsheet

If you have time (as i obviously do) please fill in the rest of the crops and repost :)

Microblogs for Microproductivity

So twitter is out and about. I like the idea of a microblog. That way to save time i could just have have "sitting on my ass" on my clip board and paste it into my updates 19 times a day. To change things up i could sprinkle it with "getting drunk in the garage" and "eating Mac and Chee." And then, on a magical super awesome day, i could maybe put "going to work." But of course, 5 hours later it would be back to "getting drunk in the garage."

This blog is taking new forms as i have an ULTRA part-time job. The difference between part-time and ULTRA part-time is as follows: part-time is around 20 hours a week, when you show up people recognize you, you get a paycheck every two weeks or so, you remember what it is you're supposed to be doing when you show up. ULTRA part-time is: it's possible to be scheduled for 5 hours one week, be completely off the schedule for the next two, and then 12 hours the next week. When you arrive the managers and co-workers say things like "have we met?" or "you still work here?" or "i thought we had a restraining order in place." your paychecks, if you get then, range from $30 to $250, but generally not more. You can clock in and stand in a daze for a few minutes as you recall the general gist of your job duties and responsibilities.

With this job i have much less time to post new blogs, so i apologize for my sporadic performance. That's the second time this week i've had to apologize for that.
