Its that time of year again. A time that I have to face reality. A time that I sometimes dread and other times can't wait to sit down to my keyboard. It's NaBloPoMo. Well, it officially starts tomorrow. What in the world makes them hang this over my head? Why are they so cruel? I can't even remember to take my one-a-day vitamins, so why do they think I can do this every day? Why are they hounding me? Why? Why? Why?
For those who don't know. NaBloPoMo is National Blog Posting Month and it starts September 1st. You sign in and make a commitment to post at least once a day. My problems with it are many. First, I HATE, with a capital H-A-T-E, any one telling me I HAVE to do something. Telling me I have to do something is like telling me to do the opposite. Are you like that?

Time to Put my Clothes on And Use Skype
One of the great things about working from home is the ability to slob-out and wear pajamas or sweats. Lately I've really been tempted to get those Pajama Jeans so I won't have to chose between them. I've recently installed Skype, so that's going to change. Although Skype has been around for years, I've put off adding it. When a client from New Zealand practically begged me to get on board, I decided it was time. The phone bill from here to New Zealand had to be getting as large as the distance between us.
Image via CrunchBaseI'm not really a Instant Message type of person. I had so many accounts that I finally got Adium so that I could see them all in one place, but even with that I rarely even start the app. When I have Instant Messaging on, and my status is viewable, I feel as though I'm bombarded by spam messages--most from people I don't know. Having it on makes me feel as though I am on call 24/7.
Skype isn't really about instant messaging, although that's one of their features. I guess I should explain, for those who aren't familiar with Skype, that its software that allows you to make calls for free. Not just that, but video calls, instant messaging, voice messaging, phone calls, etc. Installing it is easy, just download the software, Mac or PC, and create an account.

NaBloPoMo - Why are they hounding me? Why? Why? Why?
