Long-hard Friday, but with a Saturday Reward in the Horizon
Today has possibly been one of the days that I have worked the most recently. More than the work itself, it was the other errands added, and the VARIOUS trips I had to make multiple times. Suddenly, you realized you’ve been out of the house all day, you’re in the middle of your exercise routine,…

No screens allowed, only cellphones
I’m currently staying in a house that does NOT have any TVs; NOT A SINGLE ONE, but they DO have a whole shelf full of board games (and not the good classic ones, but the new ones that no one knows about because they hardly ever buy them.) These are two professional adults in their…

To pizza or not to pizza; that is the question
A client left me a full box of pizza in the fridge. “Hey, we ordered two of them, and only ate one. Feel free to help yourself to the other one. We’re certainly not going to eat it.” Why?! Why would someone just offer me 8 slices of gourmet pizza? Is this a sign? Is…

New week, steady course, high motivation
I’m officially supposed to start the new book this week; or at the very least, commence organizing my past notes and doing research. The objective should be 2-3 sessions this week; then, once I actually start the writing per se, increase to 4-5 night sessions. Completely doable, and certainly necessary. No phone, no interruptions, no…

One of those days at work, but gotta pay the bills with the least amount of effort possible
My dream job? None, I do not dream of labor. Second on the list? Getting paid to write and/or take care of animals. Anything that allows me to have as little contact with human beings as possible. Because they will screw you, or try to, eventually; guaranteed. Not gonna get into specifics, but I gotta…

October is here, let’s hit the ground running
By the looks of it, I’ll be out of my apartment for 2 weeks and some change. Tomorrow it starts all over again. But this time it’ll be different, I’m taking another approach. Gonna spend more time inside, carry less stuff on the road, run a tighter schedule. Also, it’s getting fucking cold. I’m talking…

Back home (for now)
It’s my first night sleeping in my apt since about a month and some change. Took me around 3 hours to ‘move back in’ with all the bags to unpack, clean laundry, new stuff, past messes that needed sorting… Missed my space. And there is still lots to do, but that’s for tomorrow. I’m thinking…

Keep your eyes on right ahead
Everything is going well, but something is up (yea, it’s one of those posts). Lots of work with money flowing in and out, diet and exercise regime still holding, blog is being written and read on the daily, not a lot of problems nor struggles in the radar, spontaneous online shopping, and I’m even making…

Probably, one of the worst kind of bosses you could ever encounter
I think the only thing worse than a micromanager boss, is a ‘wait till the job is finished, then I’ll come in and change everything according to whatever the fuck I want’. Does that have a specific name besides being a total unprofessional piece of shit? Because, let me tell you, I work with one.…

Work advice, lesson, wisdom… Get it, and improve your quality of life
For better or worse, I decided very early in my adult life that the vertical career path was not for me. Starting entry-level, climb up the ranks, grind every day, promotions, reach new corporate levels, get the bread, get the position, achieve “success”. Just imagining all this disgusts me. I cannot fathom how people do…
