Busta Needs A New Home!
Special Message From Cindy & Gaby:
So... Here’s the thing: we’ve given it 5 months, but Busta really isn’t cool with Wiley being the new guy in the house. That’s right – this house just ain’t big enough for the both of ‘em, and well, we’re keeping Wiley. :-) We’re very sad to let our catboy go, but we really have to. :-(
At present, Busta is an outdoor kitty – as of 2 days ago. He’s got all his shots, he’s been chipped for identification, should he ever get lost. He’s a great cat, extremely loving, but very jealous of the baby. We could keep him here as an outdoor kitty, but he really wants to be inside. The ideal situation for him: a place where HE is top cat, numero uno, where he gets all the love and attention, can go out for a few hours, and then stay inside where he can do what he does best: SLEEP. Well, sleep and EAT – he thoroughly enjoys his chow. He’s a super lap kitty and loves to chat. He’s twelve years old and in great health (just saw the vet 2 weeks ago). He enjoys catnip toys, pina coladas and getting caught in the rain – well, scratch the rain part. :-D
If you or anyone you know could provide a good home for Busta, please give us a shout.
Thanks!
Cindy and Gaby

Goin' back to where the REAL money is!
So, having sent out probably 50 resumes, responding to job postings that in all honesty I was mostly only PARTIALLY qualified for due to my having been moved around so damned much during my tenure at WBOL, I was starting to get really depressed. Totally unmotivated, on Wednesday I retreated to the one thing that makes me happy... or at least keeps me from focusing on my depression... being a board whore. :-) While making my rounds, I went over to WebOverdrive.com, an adult webmaster resource board that's run by the company where one of my dearest friends (Jessica from PrimalX.com) works.
I click on this thread: LA Based WebO Members: Look Here! and find the following post:
So I posted a link to my resume AND emailed one directly to the gal. She called me within an hour, and we set up an interview for Thursday.
I went, they liked me, and she offered me the position on the spot! :: happy dance ::
It's a small (about 10 people) company that's poised on the brink of major growth, as they've just partnered up with one of the larger production companies, New Sensations. Their flagship websites are ShanesWorld.com and CollegeInvasion.com (Neither are safe to surf at work!!!), and they're increasing their production from 1 DVD/month to 4/month, so they're glad to have someone like me who can jump right in and handle everything from content management to capturing and encoding, to helping with affiliate and customer support as well as networking with webmasters to bring in more affiliates. In fact, Megan says she'd like me to court the gay site webmasters both on the boards and in person, which is fine by me! I know a bunch of them anyway, and they have great parties. :-)
You all know that my heart's always been in the porn industry, so this gig is like a dream come true. I agreed to accept not-so-good pay for the first 30 days until we all feel that everything's going to work out, but after that there's no telling how lucrative this could be. There's no dumbass corporate structure or rules saying you can only be promoted or get a raise after a prescribed period of time. It's pretty much, "If you work hard and kick ass, you'll get promoted and get fat raises... whether that's two years from now or two weeks from now. The sky's the limit."
So there ya go!
As ever,
Your friend the proud (and now full-time!) pornographer,
Rox
I click on this thread: LA Based WebO Members: Look Here! and find the following post:
I am in desperate need of some extra help around here. I am basically looking for a content manager. I would like them to have at least Basic HTML skills, understand compression, Photoshop skills, etc. If you are some that has advanced skills ... please still apply anyway. I would up the title and salary for the right person. We are also will to train the right person.
This is an IN HOUSE FULL TIME position located in the San Fernando Valley.
If you know of anyone that wants a starting position with a fun adult company ... PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, pass this info along LOL

SEE YA LATER, WARNER BROS!
The news is out!!!! I put in my two weeks notice at Warner Bros. Online today. I can not believe that I did that! I have been with WB for nearly 7 years; it being my 3rd job out of college. (If you're trying to do the math, just know I'm still 19!) I'm going to sincerely miss all the people that I've met and worked with over the years, but mostly I'm going to miss seeing all the friendly faces every Monday - Friday!!!!
Back to my story, I am going on to greener pastures!!! I'm moving up to a golden opportunity. a BIG PHAT GOLDEN opportunity. The company name is not as important as the "person" I am going to be working for. His name is Ryan Blair - and his picture should be somewhere below in another blog of mine. Ryan Blair is a 29 year old multi-millionaire. He is also a mentor, inspirational speaker and motivator.
As for myself, I will be the Director of Web Development. I was offered a job to head his brainchild, "PathConnect" a online community devoted to goal-setting and mentorship. It's like MySpace meets 43things.com - but BETTER!
This is the most exciting, challenging and rewarding opportunity I have EVER heard of. What's most trippy is how quickly this happened. I did not anticipate a job offer, let alone get to hang out with people who have "been there, done that".
You may wonder how I met him and his company? The answer is:
MySpace.
(Not far from how I met my husband :D)

Pimp a bitch!
So it's been 2 months since I got the axe, and so far no new gig. It's sorta ok though, since I've had my hands full with finishing up the kitchen remodeling projects that I can't pay anyone to do! I'm faux-finishing my cabinets, and hopefully they'll look as good as I think they will. Once I get them done, I'll put up a gallery of pics so you all can see the before & after shots.
I just wanted to check in and leave a link to my resumé in case anyone has leads or contacts that might need a multi-talented, knows-a-little-about-a-lot-of-things kinda gal like me!
HTML version is here: http://justrox.com/resume.html (no reference contact info included, since I doubt my former coworkers want spam!)
Word doc is here (no link on the site): http://justrox.com/RoxRes2006.doc
Hope everyone's doing well. We'll have to get together for lunch again one of these days!
Oh yeah, and here's a link to my little corner of MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/rox1smf -- Send me an add request!
Miss you all lots...

Swiss Cheese
It's hard to believe it's already midway into January of 2006!!
Those of us still around the office are definitely feeling the empty spaces of what i'd like to call our new "Swiss Cheese" establishment. Many missing faces around here.
I'd like to also congratulate Mr. Berminator himself on his new adventures starting TOMORROW! I hope he will be posting soon to tell you all about his new 11 minute commute. :)
Another friendly face we'll be missing around here!
