be ready to accept it.
i have known for some time now that i do not belong in corporate america.
sure, it pays well. sure, there are a lot of smart people. sure, the stability helps my dad sleep at night… but it’s just not me. i went to SOBcon in search of friends, education and inspiration. i got it all… and then some.
there was a videoblog contest (sponsored by utterz.com) and i thought “go for it, jen” i realized that i was much fresher on the blogging scene than many others but i listened to my instinct and entered anyway.
…and i won!
my video was a satire of my life in corporate america. it is my way of saying that someday i will do what i was put on this earth to do… perform.
…and the sooner the better.
so i have been pushing myself to see what i am made of… and capable of… and i look for signs of encouragement.
ask and ye shall receive.
here is the link to my video: www.getmymessage.blogspot.com
(ps: thanks so much for voting for me, SOBconers!)
Jen- You did an awesome job at SOBCON. I am so impressed with the way you did the slides and your story was great. As a competitor in the competition I was happy to lose to such a great person. I look forward to keeping in touch. From one rookie blogger to another its great to see that your doing something you want to do!
Hey Jen, had to replay your video like 20x to finally get your URL so that I could leave you some mail that said you’re story ROCKED. Looking forward to connecting and interviewing you for Life In Perpetual Beta documentary.
Hey Jen,
I was at SOBCon and found you to be a true original, but not at first, read my recap of the conference here ( it’s long ) I promise it’s nice

Jen, you won, right? Great job, awesome commercial. Who made the book and the pictures?
You belong right here in the blogosphere!
hey easton!
i sure did win! thanks!
…and those fancy technical graphics that are expertly taped on top of another book?
you guessed it! yours truly again. yeah, some may say stick people are SO last year, but i disagree.
Jen, I don’t even think corporate America pays all that well. :] You’re a born blogger, baby, and I’m so glad to know you!
It’s amazing what happens when you just trust yourself and forget about everything else, isn’t it?
