Wanna know why I hate my job?
Lincoln Adams | May 20, 2008 @ 3:48 pmHere’s how a typical day might go:
*Phone Rings*
“Special Division, Lincoln Adams speaking.”
“Yeah I need to have a few documents faxed over?”
“Sure, what’s the subject’s last name, first name?”
I get up, pull the requested files out of the drawer, and then fax them over.

Aw! I sympathize. My husband and I both know what it’s like to have a really dull, lousy job. Especially hubs, lol. But right now we are grateful to even HAVE jobs.
I hope you can find something you really like.

Your office so needs email, dude. Fax is, erm, last century.

sorry to LOL, but I kinda know how you feel.

LOL you’re so silly!

Sounds like all the jobs I’ve had for the last 13 years. But I didn’t have any inbetween phone call time…just one after another like that. sometimes for 12 hours straight with mean callers on the other end and systems that didn’t work. Fun! I’ve left that for now but had to maximize the time away from shirk to keep my mind in its natural form: intelligent.
You’ll find something else because you’ve already moved in that direction outside of shirk.

If I have had a job like yours I wouldn’t have lasted 13 minutes, let alone years, and I’m pretty sure I’d be in prison now too.
I treat my job as something I do in my spare time. I do a whole lot of shirking though, but in that shirking I do things that actually matter, like blogging.

Well, most people don’t have jobs that are their real life’s work so it’s challenging. As long as you’re spending increasing time on your life work (until it’s only that) then you are doing the right thing.

I hope so, once I start the new year I will make one final marketing push to bring enough traffic in, and then that’s it. The rest will be up to God.

Travel writer columns? Not just on your own blog, but on Examiner.com or eHow or local websites? Is that part of your marketing push?
Quote
Nah, although that might be an idea for the future if I can stomach the tedious work of writing on places other than my blog.
In the meantime this will just be a traditional marketing campaign. While I’m achieving success beyond all my expectations with my site, it still only makes a tenth of what I make with my normal job. And even if matched my job’s paycheck someday, it would be silly to give up two full time incomes, at least until I saved enough to buy a nice house for my parents (I’m not interested in owning a home.)
