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!

  7. Wednesday is really a boring day, but I hate mondays a lot.
    Wednesday usually is a soccer day in Brazil, and today my team will play and I'll be in front of TV waiting a great victory.
    And today on TV: Ugly Betty, American Idol, Dr Who...
    So I'll buy beer and snacks, because tonight is tv Time!!!!!!

  8. David Cook is easily the most musically talented, Michael Johns is the better singer but David Archuleta is too boy band for me.

    Sorry dude! LOL!

  9. Diamond - You're right about that. My 8 hour day felt like 16!

  10. Syura - Yeah, MJ was pretty good but then I'm biased cos I like the songs he sangs.

    I've been a fan of DC since the start. There's something about him. I don't think he'll win though but I hope he does :D

  11. Faizal - Yeah, sometimes life does get a tad but too boring ... hehehe ...

    Will add you link to my blogroll after this.

    That should be a good game. Long live Arsenal ... LOL!

  12. Haizum - LOL! My sympathies. Well, at least it's tomorrow and not next week or anything :D

  13. Carol - Well good for you Carol. Keep it up and don't give up, k?

    I'm eagerly waiting to start running with wifey soon :D

    Yeah, the rain does play havoc with trying to run consistently doesn't it?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Sting - Yeah, I seriously need to get that shoe soon to break it in before the run. Oh and it's actually a 9k run la ... LOL! I'm not really ready for it yet but I'm just deciding to give it a try ...

  15. Cidao - LOL! TV night is on Wednesday's huh? Well, what a coincidence cos my TV night is on Wednesday's too. We've got American Idol and followed by CSI, which is on my all time favourites list but unfortunately I don't have no beers with me! Drats! LOL!

  16. Hui Sen - I have to agree with you. I've actually liked David Cook from day 1. And I know he's not going to win cos the other two are just a wee bit more popular and this is serious a popularity contest more than a talent show :D

  17. Nick,
    I cannot watch AI tonite *sob sob*. Have dinner!!! You update us on the result okie?

    My blog is PR0 too n it is so damn hard for me to get assignments now. I asked someone why PR0 and according to him my blog should be around PR2-3 but somehow dont know how google rate and become 0. He is facing the same problem too with his blog, suddenly dropped to 0. Said might need to wait till end of Apr when google re-calcuate the PR rating again then...sigh....

  18. Yep so boringkan..

    OTOH, i wish can do the running. Reach home already 730pm to 8pm sometimes.. susah2. Furthermore, need proper shoes again.

    oh well.. about the PR, well at least u got pr2/10 now, mine zero. but thinking about it, i got better offer when on zero than on my previous pr4. I really made more now than before.. pening kepala one.

  19. hahaha.. hey nick.. Long Live Man Utd.. LOL.. fair play okay? no dirty tackle or puching on the faces.. LOL.. thanks for adding me to your blogroll, really appreciate it.. :)

  20. Nick! Wasn't David C. totally rocking last night? He is outshining Michael every concert now, even last night! I really hope Kristy leaves tonight, enuff is enuff he he! ;)

  21. Jen - LOL! If I log on tonight, I'll put in a little word about who went out or you could check Nessa's site out, she's quite up to date with her American Idol updates.

    Well, I've actually given up with this PR thing. It doesn't not worth my time to be bothered about it. Try other sites like PayU2 blog and stuff like that. They do have some decent assignments all the time.

  22. Papajoneh - Hey, 8.30pm still kan run what ... LOL! I used to run at 9.00 pm those days when I get home late from work but not anymore la. Not safe, after someone kidnap me pulak ... LMAO!

    I agree with you, I've been getting more offers as a PR0 than a PR4 those days. Strange but true! LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Faizal - Well, any match between MU and Arsenal is bound to be explosive so I'm looking forward to it :D

    No probs on the link buddy.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Marzie - Oh, DC totally rocks! 2 thumbs and 2 big toes of his since day 1.

    Kristy is desperate la. It's like and Akademi Fantasia student singing Negara Ku ... LOL! Yeah, I hope she gets the boot too!

  26. So they say, forget about the PR, earn bucks as much as you can, and the PR will just come, hehee.

    Sorry, can't vote for your AI candidates. Can't even watch it from here. But if you run a race with your wifey, i'll vote for...her, lol...

    ReplyDelete
  27. Meleah - And even more so when you have absolutely nothing to do ...

    ReplyDelete
  28. Marlene - Yeah, I've forgotten about my PR already :D

    What? You voting against me? LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Ohh wow.. it's almost mid April. How's the 10k run prep going on?? Btw, the valentine's day gift from hubby (that I never got around to blogging about).. well, it was a pair of running shoes. How romantic. Or how insulting. LOL!! Oh well. I love it.. so I'll consider it romantic. But do you wanna know a secret?? *whispers* it's still in the box! LOL!

    Hope you get yours soon with your increasing amount of paypal money. PR or no PR, as long as money comes in, eh??

    Oh and I know you like Dave Cook and all, I just can't stand him. I think he's a great singer.. but I just can't stand his smugness. He's sooo smug. Chis! LOL! 0ne thumb up for his singing. One thumb down for smugness. So all in all... i'm pretty neutral on him.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Shemah - Urmmm, let's put it this way, I'll probably be crawling all the way through the run ... LOL! I'm not as prepared as I'd like to be.

    I have to agree about DC's smugness. He is a little smug but I can live with that ... LOL! But my bets to win would go to Michael or David A!
