Two weeks ago, my doctor put me on some medication that made me very loopy last week. The "running through red lights/sleeping for 16 hours straight/speaking incoherently" kind of loopy.
All that loopiness also messed up my perception of how much money I was spending, and I wound up spending more money than I have in the bank. (The 3 consecutive $25 overdraft charges that Bank of America hit me with didn't help at all.)
Now, I'm not looking for a handout. But if anyone has anything they need done, and are willing to pay for it (such as cleaning your house, bathroom included, for $20) then please give me a call.
Here's a sort of mini-resume:
- Any kind of manual labor you can name
- I type 40 words a minute
- Skilled at doing computer repair
- Familiar with all the MS Office products (and can write macros)
- Also familiar with Quicken/Quickbooks
- I can make an audio book of your favorite book ($15 for an at&t natural voices conversion [url]
- http://www.nextup.com/attnv.html[/url], $40 if you want me to do the reading.)*
- I can do transcriptions of recordings (such as class lectures)
- I’m familiar with HTML
- I can do the ID3 Tags on your mp3 songs, which would include adding the lyrics and album cover. (Yes, I love doing tedious things)
- I love libraries, and will gladly do research for anyone who is going to school.
- I can do transcriptions of recordings (such as class lectures)
- Lots more stuff, so just ask if you're not sure I can do it.
You can call me at 512-371-5872 or email me at
ciabhan2025@yahoo.com*This won't help me now, but I've been toying with the idea of making audio books of non-copyrighted books and selling them. I'd like to start with Edgar Rice Burrough's (The guy who wrote the Tarzan books)
A Princess of Mars but while I can do most of the voices, there's no way my voice is going to pass for a sultry naked princess:
"She was as destitute of clothes as the green Martians who accompanied her; indeed, save for her highly wrought ornaments she was entirely naked, nor could any apparel have enhanced the beauty of her perfect and symmetrical figure."
---- Edgar Rice Burrough - A Princess of Mars
Another project I have in mind, but one that will take MUCH longer to do (and probably selling each night's story for $5 each) is an unabridged audio book of The Arabian Nights (The Book of One Thousand Nights and a Night) by Sir Richard Francis Burton. But again, I'm stymied by the fact that it really needs a woman's voice (and a sexy one at that) for the most important character: Scheherazade.
