A Day in My Life

Have you ever just sat there in front of your monitor and just stared and thought? Or sometimes get so encomapssed in thought that you actually lose hours on end? As of late I have been having many of those. Most days I get up between 9am-10am, I have never been a morning person, so that is really good for me. Almost robotically I grab my glasses and cigarettes from the night stand and head to the computer. Get it started, then start the 1st pot of coffee for the day, and off to the 'powder' room to get myself ready to "work".



The first couple of hours is pretty much always the same. Check to see if I got any newbs while I was gone, then look for new forum member intros, and hit the trophy cases to post congrats. That may not seem like much, but mind you I do this on 7... well 6, freebie trading forums now. I really do like being more diversified, but I sure do miss the days of only needing 1 forum to survive. Now it seems if you're not everywhere, your're nowhere.



Once I feel there is nothing relavant left to do on the forums, I go through my many other opportunities and 'gigs'. Yeah, I started taking various freelance tasks as well. Those are fun and very profitable, but take actual work, GAH! Several times throughout the day I do stop in here and there and play a game or three. Just to clear the mind and transition into the next task at hand. Then repeat.....



Most days it is at least 7pm - 8pm before I even get up to eat! And even then 9 out of 10 times I eat in front of the computer as well. Work while I'm home basically doesn't stop until I go to bed which is often as late as and often exceeding 2am-3am. So if you break down what I make online I am literally working for pennies per hour. Hmmm, doesn't make any sence does it? Nope. So why do I do it?



I love what I do. I love staying home everyday. I love showing others how to make money the way I do. And I love the people I have met online. Several have become very close friends. And not just fake internet friendlies, Real Friends.

But even though I never leave home, I am still lost.
