I don’t know how it’s been for you all, but today is dragging by. I have about an hour left, but I’m dying inside. Nothing bad happened today, no monsters, but it’s just time for it to be Friday, and … it isn’t.

I really can’t complain about my job. I write a fetish blog, a brand new humor site, a babe blog, and the occasional spot on an adult industry insider site. Work is cool, chill, and pretty low key. It’s surprising how normal the porn industry is. There may be more piercings, tats, and t-shirts, than the local branch office, but the work is pretty much the same. I come in, in the morning, coffee in hand, and start site checking. That’s exactly what it sounds like. I go through the minutiae of our (AEBN) erotica sites, Lusty Library, and Sticky Pen, and look for bugs. The programmers have been known to dink around on the back end of things, and mess up the front (what you see). After about 30-45 minutes of click, click, click, click, I open up my email and IM programs and plug in to the rest of the company.
There’s chit chat about last night’s television (OMG can you believe Melinda got voted off Idol?), movies, life, and then to work. Work means, in regards to Quips & Chains, that I first decide what fetish to focus upon. Then I search my files for material to post. I can’t just grab pics willy-nilly that often. I usually need to use a site with which we are affiliated (good), or we own (better). These pics are linked (usually) to what are called FHGs (Free Hosted Galleries), which are the sample platters in the Hickory Farms that is the porn world. These galleries have unique codes, in their URLs, that let the site owner know who sent you there. That way, if you like what you see, and sign up, we get a taste. Then of course there’s the VOD (Video On Demand) Theater , which is a unique portal to the real purpose of Quips And Chains, which is to sell movies. That’s fine. I am given a lot of freedom with this site, and I appreciate it. That freedom is purchased with results. Hence all the links you see in this text. So, I write a blog about a given fetish, today it was Stockings, and pepper it with pics, and links, and a VOD plug. You read it, click the pics, and enough of you watch a vid, or join a site, to keep me in business. Thanks! I also spend time on the various MySpace and xPeeps accounts I have (one for each site I have). Then I eat lunch, listen to headphones, write more, have a meeting or two, and go home. Then I get up, and do it again. Ta-Da!
