Thanks! It was a pretty big one, so i don't forsee others. But I mean maybe I don't need 3 jobs now.
I just got done on the boat today and on to the theater. I thought I was supposed to be done with this schedule for the season. Why do I keep saying yes?
I'm not used to being complimented. WTF is wrong with me?
Also I have worked for far too many assholes in my lifetime. WTF.
Also- I still think about that bank I worked for- and how they tried to make me feel like I was the asshole. I didn't smile enough (behind my mask even) I didn't say thank you enough. Blah blah blah. That is all behind me now.
You know I would fo it again if I had to. But I hope I never have to again.
Eggs how do you stay disciplined to work from home?
I am finding it extremely difficult.
To be fair, some of my job thus far has been sending emails to various people and waiting for responses as I try to get remote access to another computer to start doing one part of my job. In the mean time I'm getting my apartment cleaned and organized!
I'm not someone to follow as an example for working remotely.
I'm fine when I'm at work, but being home constantly has turned me in to a hermit who doesn't tend to my life enough. It's too easy to find amusement and busy work at the PC, so I never leave it. So I'm a blob who lives indoors and is in worse physical shape than when I started doing this years ago.
When work is done, leave the PC. You have real outdoors around you so it's probably easier, whereas I have boring suburbia around me, where everything is a car ride, unless I get it delivered. And I get way too many things delivered.
I mean I find it difficult to leave my apt to do laundry because it means having to put something appropriate to just walk down the hall. I should just get a cheap old prom dress from the thrift store and wear that everytime I need to do laundry.
I now have it set up so I can either work from home or go to the office. Today I am in the office in the morning and will go home after lunch time and work from there the remainder of the day.
And today I am working. Like real work. It feels kind of good.
The wierd thing is-I only work 20 hours for this gal, but I find myself goofing off through out the day, or you know, taking breaks and stuff, so I drag out 4 hours of work into 6 hours. I mean not really-it isn't too bad yet, but I am noticing it!
Also I haven't gotten into a routine yet and am still learning a lot, I think once I know my job more, I will just go and do it and be done and then be much more productive.
I was just chatting with the theater owner and I stood my ground for the days off I needed. I only caved on one! And then by the end of the phone call he was so nice and thankful. wtf.
I've been sort of taking Fridays off. I mean except that I go to the Ruby tonight. I am doing some data entry, but for the most part I am off today and doing house chores and getting stuff done I need to do. It feels good.
