Story Thus Far

March 14, 2016 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

Well, it's not going terribly. Along with my semiannual revising of the passwords, I've also unsubscribed from a number of email lists and deactivated my accounts on a dozen websites and services. It feels good to clean that all out, even if it's just an e-placebo effect. I like wrapping these things up and narrowing … Continue reading Story Thus Far

Traditional First Entry

January 17, 2016 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

What brought me to WordPress, to commit to installing it and learning all the programs and routines around it? For dozens of years I was a happy Google user. I have a legacy storage account, no reason to give that up; I used Google Buzz for as long as it ran, I boosted Blogger when … Continue reading Traditional First Entry

The Sesame Credit Scare

December 22, 2015March 22, 2018 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

Your credit score, linked to your national ID, goes down if you post on social media about dissenting political views, discussing history that isn't state-approved.

Forward, Two Years

October 6, 2014 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

Now it's over two years after my last post, when I was struggling to find work in Minneapolis. Two-and-a-half years later, my position at my former office has been ended and I'm looking for work once more. What have I learned in all this time? Nobody admires you for pointing out all the typos and … Continue reading Forward, Two Years

Ross Castle at Killarney

April 17, 2014June 20, 2017 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

We woke up in the Carlton Hotel in Tralee at a reasonable hour and went downstairs for the complimentary breakfast. I had some cereal, a selection of fruit and a fat, watery sausage, and Rebecca had access to gluten-free toast with yogurt and fruit. She was in down spirits: something about the struggle to arrange … Continue reading Ross Castle at Killarney

Work May Be Found or Created

March 21, 2012 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

I'm not getting discouraged, I'm not. Olson has ignored my repeated applications to their Proofreader position, and their HR person has ignored my repeated e-mails directly to her, and now the position has disappeared, but I'm not discouraged. I applied for a copy editing position with Target, and my Target contacts reached out to the … Continue reading Work May Be Found or Created

The Stronger Online Presence

December 21, 2011 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

I just came across an interesting Mashable article. It talks about Klout, the web-based high school popularity contest with fallible metrics, which isn't so interesting, but the article also talks about how to legitimately boost your rating with Klout. And this is interesting only because, once you remove it from this misguided, self-important company, it's … Continue reading The Stronger Online Presence

Google Helps Small Businesses

December 19, 2011 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

There are so many free applications for business people to use! This is excellent for me, as I'm once again trying to get my independent business in motion. I don't expect it to be robust or bustling, but a few projects here and there would definitely help things out. This site (the former Tough Love … Continue reading Google Helps Small Businesses

If I Could Go Back in Time…

December 15, 2011 / Christian Wilkie / Leave a comment

Mmmhh... Looking for work is no fun. It's a lot of work that doesn't pay, actually. I used to say that I wish I could go back in time and tell my past-self to get into editing. I was pretty directionless in the third decade of my life and could've used that advice. Now, however, … Continue reading If I Could Go Back in Time…
