Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock ... Yawnnnnnnn ...

What a boring day it has been for me. Work was practically non existent at all today, which was a surprise. I'm sure Thursday is cooking up something real good to get me back for today .. LOL! I'll admit I'm a little paranoid at times. Sometimes the day goes by without any problems or screw ups that I'm a little suspicious of it. Things can't be all that rosy for me all day ... LOL! And on top of that, the time is moving ever so slowly!

Sometimes being so free can absolutely drive me insane. I'm the kind of person who needs to be doing something at all times. I can't just sit on my butt all day. As much as I enjoy blogging and all that, I don't think I could sit here the whole day and just blog. Well, I could just take a nap or something but then my boss might just decided to walk in, so scratch that idea. I did at least use the time wisely and create a new masthead for that quirky Spiff, the Spaceman character. Not that he's going to be all that grateful and thank me, mind you ... LOL!

I guess I could always work on some of my assignments which are going to expire real soon, for instance, this one that I have on lighting, I got this assignment along with a bunch of others last Saturday and it's been lying in my inbox since then and it's about to expire tomorrow. Darn, I thought with my blog being a PR0 and all, well, it was a PR0 up until last week but now it's miraculously up again to PR2, not that I'm complaining mind you, that my assignments would completely dry up but it's the exact opposite. I get more than when I had any PR! Strange but true.

Well, I did complain for a time when my blog was docked to zero from a PR4. At that time I was trying to monetize this blog and getting slapped with a PR0 didn't help all that much. But now, I'm not bothered about it anymore as I don't earn my living by blogging ... thank god though cos if I did, I'd be eating grass ... LOL! But the thing is I have 2 blogs as most of you would probably know. And that's where my troubles sometimes starts. There are days when I get loads of assignments for both blogs that it frightens me. It's good money, so I'm not really complaining but it still frightens me all the same ... hehehe ...

Like I said, I'm struggling to complete some of the assignments I have and my brain is going into overdrive trying to churn out postings to accommodate the assignments. Hopefully I can get the current batch that I have done on time and until then I'm going to be rejecting any new ones that come my way, well, unless of course they offer me good money la ... LOL! I'm a sucker for money, but then who isn't right?

With the sky rocketing cost of things these days, any additional cash is a great help. I remember only as recently as a year or two ago, we could get a lot of groceries for just RM100.00 that would last us a minimum of one week, now with the same amount of money, you'll be lucky to buy even 3 days worth of groceries, let alone 1 whole week. Soon, I'll probably need a bank loan just to do grocery shopping ... hehehe ... Between wifey and me, we make quite a decent sum of money from both our assignments but somehow it's always gone just as fast as we get it. The more we make, the more we spend! LOL! That's life I guess.

The good news is it didn't rain today so I can get out my almost falling apart pair of running shoes and hit the roads after work. I seriously need to get a new pair of shoes pretty soon, especially seeing as how I'm going to be taking part in a 10K run in mid April. I don't think I wanna risk the shoes coming apart on me halfway through the run ... LOL! Well, I guess that's where all my paypal money comes in handy, ya? See, I knew there was a reason for doing all those assignments. I'll probably get myself a pair at the end of this month and wifey wants to get one too cos she wants to go running as well ... woohoo ... at least I got a partner to keep me company on my runs soon :D Don't worry honey, I'll try not to run too fast ... LOL!

Another good thing is it's American Idol night and I'm looking forward to a few of my favourites sing tonight. Wifey just yahoo messengered me that Michael Johns was singing a medley or something and I'm looking forward to it. I just hope they pick the right song and justify my faith in them even though I can't vote for them at all. Unless of course any of my wonderful US blogging friends would care enough to send a vote each for David Cook, Michael Johns and David Archuleta on my behalf? Yes? No? Awwww come on folks ... LOL!
