Well I have to say that I had a much better night and better shift last night. For a week now we have been learning how to use our brand new POS system and I have to say that last night was probably the best night yet with it. It was probably the first time in a week that I hadn’t considered looking for an engineering job or some other type of employment. So things are looking up and hopefully it won’t be too many more shifts before everything is smooth sailing once again.
I seriously wish there were more hours in the day to get everything done that I need to get done these days. I have a lot of online work to get done by this afternoon and I’m having a really hard time just getting started. I’m supposed to write some articles on conjugated linoleic acid and I don’t even know where to begin with these. I also have a major transcription project that is due tomorrow morning and I also have to go to work later on at my outside job. So… if I could please have an extra four hours tacked on to my day that would be quite helpful!
As most of you know I do some general transcription work for companies from home. Well lately I haven’t been getting much work from my companies. So I started applying at other different companies. Well a couple of months ago I applied for a company but didn’t hear back from them. Well you can imagine my surprise when I checked my e-mail this morning and discovered that I’ve been accepted to work for this company and was offered a contract. As long as I don’t have to transcribe articles on how to reduce belly fat I think this will be a fun contract to have. So… I guess I’ll be busy transcribing audio once again.
I am really running out of time in my daily life to try to get things done. I wish I could get on a better routine to be able to get things done without always feeling like I’m behind the eight ball all the time. I have a few colon cleanser reviews to have finished by this afternoon and I don’t know if I’m going to be able to get it all done. Oh well, I guess I should stop worrying about it and just get done what I can get done.
I did something today that I never would have dreamed that I would do. I turned down some work. One of the companies that I do work for e-mailed me this morning and asked me to write a few articles on Insinkerator. Because these articles would take a lot of time and research I had to turn them down. I have picked up more hours at my outside job and just don’t have the time to do these articles justice. So I had to turn the work down. I just hope this doesn’t affect any work that I may get in the future. But if it does, I guess that’s life.
I have been working part time online for about four years now. I only work at it part time because I do work outside of the home as well. But I would love to turn this into something full time. So I have been doing some digging around on the Internet. I have become quite interested in Forex trading and have even started looking into attending some Forex training workshops. If I could add this type of income to my online life, then I could stay home and work from home full time.
Because my husband was unable to take his two full weeks of vacation this summer he has decided to take a few days off here and there to make up the time. This past weekend he was off work so he took Monday and Tuesday off as well. Although this wasn’t a huge break it was a nice little break for him and it got him away from his job for awhile. He went back to work this morning and I’m not really sure when he’ll take more time off. But at least he was FINALLY able to get a little time off.
The first part of the summer I was extremely busy with all my online work. Well over the past two weeks the work has slowed down considerably. But I’m not complaining. I had so much work to do online during the first part of the summer that I wasn’t able to get anything else done. Well now I have that time.
I have been busy researching electric fireplaces so that when we are ready to redo the living room we will be able to purchase one and I have been able to a bit of my crafting business up and running. So I guess this little bit of down time is kind of a good thing. Hopefully it doesn’t last much longer though as it really does hurt the pocket book when I’m not working.
I think I’m getting a bit burnt out. For the past week I have been sitting at my computer for at least 10 hours a day. Well I think all this work is finally catching up to me. So I think it’s time to step away from the computer and take some time off. I have to do some research on hydroxy cut reviews and finish up a pretty big transcription project, but after these two tasks are completed, I think I’m going to take a bit of time off.
So if you don’t see me around for the next few days, don’t get alarmed I’m just enjoying a much needed little break.
I thought I had budgeted my time right, but I didn’t. Last week I was given some work from a client and I thought I could have it finished by Friday. But after doing some calculations last night I discovered that I really screwed up on the amount of time I thought it would take me. I didn’t realize the file was as big as it was and quoted him a day that after careful consideration figured out just wasn’t possible. But… the good news is he did give me an extension after I explained my mistake. So I will get it done. It’s just going to take me quite a bit longer.
