Getting ready for the holidays

At work getting ready for the holidays has gotten a bit more than stressful for me. I was basically told we needed to write this Holiday Gift Guide with virtually no instruction. I had not even seen one previously, so with my compiled list of stuff that I had hoped was correct I sat down for an entire day and wrote about all this crap I had no idea about.



I had only known two or three of the products because they were my reviews. After I got all finished just in time I sent it over to our main editor and usually he sends it back with changes and many suggestions. I rarely get away without any changes but this time he loved the entire thing. So on to what I thought this guide was suppose to be, it never made any sense to me to begin with. I though we all had to write intros and why we recommended these products this holiday season.

Well the Holiday Gift Guide went up and I was reading through it and noticed that it s all what I had written. I had written the entire guide by myself with very little direction and they published it. Now I actually feel like a writer. It means a lot that they like my work, especially when it comes to something this big. I really enjoy working with each and every one of these guys and hope it lasts a long time.

Its a start

Being a "Blogger" I decided to star this blog because it seems not many people know what it is that I am up to. Some of you may know that I hate the term "Blog", but that is the technical term for my job. I work for an amazing company that goes by the name Aradius. I am a Community Manager and writer (Blogger) for Android Community, I also write for sites such as Slash Gear, iPhone Buzz and Phone Mag.

I am going to try and keep up with this a few times a week for those of you who read this. I have some interesting things going on in my life that should make for some good posts ha ha.


I think I'll start with a conversation that I had with someone regarding some spam that was posted in my forum. The conversation went as follows (word for word):

Him:
Hello


Shawn:
hi


Him:
Hello


Shawn:
hi


Him:
How are you?


Shawn:
well to tell you the truth I'm pretty pissed off

How are you?


Him:
am fine

so are you still interested in buying the phone

cos we are offering free shipment today

How are you?


Shawn:
well to tell you the truth I'm pretty pissed off

I am actually not interested in buying a phone from you today. Instead I would like to know what gives you the right to come around spamming my forums.

I didn't come around to fuck your day, why fuck mine?


Him:
i didnt fuck u


Shawn:
You think that I will buy a phone from a spam post in a forum that has nothing to do with the phones that you offer?

I know you didn't fuck me, just my day.

Tell you what, since you were so kinda as to stop by and fuck my day, I will fuck your day for free.


Him:
what u mean

hey

know the way u talk

this is a company

we are not spam


Shawn:
No I have a better idea, I will fuck your entire week. How does that sound?

A company that advertises through unwanted spam that does not look legitimate, and is removed seconds after it is posted.


Him:
so u removed the post


Shawn:
Several times in fact.

I want to thank you for being a thorn in my side for all this time

Have a good day sir



Thank you for reading through all that, I hope you were entertained. This has been a look at what my day is like.
