Hello.
I am not sure how many blogs I owned but I think I have been trying to write for the longest. My old blog from xanga was probably my biggest "success" because I actually update it from 2004 until maybe 2010 I think.
I got lazy when I moved here.
How long I've been here? 6 freakin' years.
In cat life, that is 40 years.
Why cat?
I love cat. :P
So what I have been doing? How is life? Is life treating me good?
Of course. But of there was bad time, bad years, bad months, bad hair days.
I think I am usually "depress" monthly, during the stupid evil visit from aunt flo. Other than that, I am hanging in there.
As the title of the blog stated, I am a boredfreelancer.
I am constantly bored out of my mind. I have couple of works to do, but I am not a mood to finish any of them.
It is really hard to keep up the courage to continue working when you are working from home. You are your own boss. I can drink coffee and take a nap anytime I want.
Lately I have been thinking if I should try to look for regular office job. Because staying home a lone does make me insane sometimes.
But then imagine having to go to work (like 90% of people)...waiting for the clock to pass the sacred 5pm and get home , do housework and go to sleep and wake up early.... The pro of that, STABLE SOURCE OF INCOME.
Being a freelancer is quite a challenge. You have to constantly look for clients, gigs projects. It was hard in the beginning, I have to do a lot of volunteer projects but now is getting slight better.
But you will also have the risk of not getting any income that month if it is slow months, OR you can also be making more than full time job because the clients conspire to test me out and send me projects all at once. I call that good but stressful month.
Because of that I usually try to find other source of online income to supplement the lost month. I used to do mturk. Simple easy micro tasks that pays micro pennies too...Lol... hey, good thing is, you can watch tv while doing it.
I remember when I got laid off in 2009 (before I decided to go freelancing) I make close to $220 just by doing mturk. While waiting for interviews and resume. I think if I put my mind on it, I can get double or triple than that. :D
Now I probably going to start mturk while waiting for the next project, or while reading news or lay down watching tv. I promise I will not waste anymore time.!
I am glad I can totally depend on my husband and we can live off his income alone. So I have the "luxury" to do whatever I want (per hubby). Of course I am "nice and kind" and I will bring as much money as I can staying home. So far so good. I am glad. We manage to pay off the car and settle 80% of the student loan and save for retirement, buy some gadgets and go on vacation. I guess it wasn't bad at all. It is pretty good I think at our age. (lol , I do want to retire early)
I hate debt. I cant stand them. That's why Im pushing to pay off everything early.
I bet this will be my first and last blog for this one..... again.
