I’m not very happy with bills on pay day. Sure, I’m glad to have earned some cash in order to pay off those debts I’ve accumulated due to emergencies and personal reasons but so far, I’ve been doing well in maintaining my balances and keeping things at a minimum. I haven’t been spending as much and the cash is flowing at the right direction.

After a weeks’s worth of vacation in a foreign country, I’m now back to my place and I’m starting to work on pending tasks. I’m going to blog about my experience to get some more hits as well as some new write-ups for the event but for now, I’m bent on catching up on my freelance work.

I just had a conversation over lunch with a fellow blogger/colleague and we were talking about our jobs. We’re running 4 years within this business process outsourcing industry already and we have come a long way from being classmates back in our product training class. Although we haven’t reached our peak, it seems that the years have passed by so fast. Funny at times that we wonder what will happen once we reach the 5 years if we’re going to opt for an early retirement or we’ll pursue other careers.

I find solace over the weekend. Maybe because it’s the only time that I get to relax a little. Though I still have a lot of work to do, it’s because of my days off that I get to spend more time doing nothing which is already a big thing for me.

Part of the job that I do as a freelancer/web marketer is to make good use of content being presented to me and write articles about them in order to make them fresh and readable for our target market.

When I’m bored, I’m bored.
When I have a lot to do, I do nothing.
When I think about the things I need to accomplish, I don’t accomplish anything but think.
I worry about worrying.
I’m a working class zero.

Oh yeah, I edit.

I don’t know about other people but I get more work done being alone. I can do more tasks and be more productive when I go about my tasks by myself. Although it would be good if there’s somebody who’ll be able to give a tip or two on how to got about accomplishing a task, I tend to veer from topic and end up not really doing anything.

I’m now going back to work and I haven’t even done a lot of work even on leave. I just felt the need to sleep while I was away but I’m still exhausted from all the stuff that I’ve been doing.

As usual, I’m cramming and I’m waiting for the time to make things even worse. These freelance jobs can leave one exhausted especially when one task comes after another and you’ve already started a pace that would make you even ask for more jobs. But when you don’t have any jobs to work on anymore, the momentum is broken and the cycle leaves you drained.

I’m feeling the pressure of not being able to comply with the tasks that were assigned to me. I’m cramming because I’ve not been very productive and sleeping has been the only thing on my mind due to how haggard my days have been.

Haggard — first time to use the word in writing.
