And That’s….the Truth

Well it really was good to get away from my computer for awhile. I didn’t spend a whole lot of time on the computer this weekend and was able to recharge my batteries. But now it’s once again back to the computer. Over the past few days I have logged on quite a bit of time. And am starting to need a serious break once again. Oh well, I guess if I wasn’t on the computer, I wouldn’t be making any money. So I guess I won’t complain too much.

Well things seemed to be going along quite smoothly with my working from home jobs, until today. Today I had to drop one as it really wasn’t what I thought it would be. And after figuring out the money, it really wasn’t worth putting that much time into any job. Then I just heard from a second contract that they are going out of business, so I have lost that job as well. Oh well, I guess I’ll start looking into sites like philadelphia job listings to see if I can find a couple more contracts to replace the two I lost. I’m not discouraged. I understand this is the way life can go sometimes in the online world, so I guess I’ll just keep plugging away at it.

So I just received all my information regarding this new writing job that I had applied for. Well let me tell you that I am just super excited. I read over all the information and was really pleased to see that I could pick the topics on which I want to write about. This means that I don’t have to write on phentermine diet pill or anything like that if I don’t want to. The pay isn’t that much to start out, but after you’ve been there a while and have proven yourself, you have the opportunity to increase you pay. After a few days of writing for this company, I’ll be sure to let you all know how this all works out.

Right now I have a lot of irons in the fire. Although I do have an outside job, I also do a lot of work from home as well. Currently I do some paid blogging, I do some general transcription, and I have just started getting back into paid article writing. Yesterday I applied at a company, did their test and got accepted as a paid writer, blogger for their company. I still don’t know very much about the job, but I’m excited to get started none the less. I don’t think it will be too difficult of a job. I would imagine that all I will have to do is to do a little bit of research and I will be able to write on things like nutrisystem reviews or steel buildings or whatever…. Anyway, I’m loving working from home and absolutely can’t wait to get started with this company.

So… how was every one’s weekend? Mine was pretty quiet which is fine with me. I did have to work Saturday and Sunday, but only until 2:00 pm. I spent the rest of the weekend just chilling. I didn’t even hardly go on the Internet or check my e-mails all weekend. So you can just imagine what I was faced with this morning. Yup, tons and tons of e-mails. Most of them were just spam e-mails like solicitations for diet supplements but I still had to go through them all in case there was anything important in them. Well, the weekend is gone, so here we go again. I think I may do the same thing next weekend and just chill. I’ll deal with the tons of e-mails Monday morning.

A few months ago I decided to try my hand at transcription. I really did enjoy the type of work I was doing and made some pretty decent cash with it. Well, real life got in the way and I kind of let that type of work slide. Well I have decided to get back in to it. Over the past couple of days I have applied for a couple of jobs and just received an e-mail this morning that a company would like me to test for them. I’m pretty pumped about that. So I have decided to dust off all my office furniture and get back into it. I’m just waiting for the test file to come through my e-mail. Hopefully I do fine and begin transcribing once again.

Well it’s official. My computer is a piece of crap. It’s very, very slow and it kicks me off the Internet constantly. So it’s about time that I start looking for a new computer. Of course there are certain things that are a must have in my new unit and there are some things that I would like to have. One thing that I would like to have would be a Custom usb drive. Some of the things that it must have is it has to have a dual core processor, at least three usb ports and lots of memory. I really don’t know when this purchase will take place. But I’m looking now as I kind of think that it will be sooner rather than later.

Well after three days of not being able to get on the computer, I am finally able to use it somewhat today. I have been having a lot of problems with my computer and with the speed of it being incredibly slow I just couldn’t be bothered messing around with it. If I can’t get my computer to work better than it has for the past three days, I’m seriously going to have to invest in a new one. I really hope it doesn’t come down to that, but I really can’t afford to be off the Internet for many more days like that. It was a great little break off the computer, but it’s really going to hurt come payday.

I have to say that I am loving my new job as a general transcriptionist. Although this type of work is extremely time consuming, it is very interesting work. I have transcribed all sorts of topics and each file is more interesting than the last one. I’m not sure, but I think that maybe the only type of file that I haven’t seen would be files for Tennessee injury lawyers. But I’m sure that if I keep doing this type of work, that will come in time. So if you don’t see me around me anymore this is why. I’m trying to concentrate on my home based transcription career.

Father’s day is right around the corner. And no, I don’t have a gift for my husband bought yet. I know, I know I am a serious procrastinator. But, I have put it off long enough and have decided that today is the day when I am going to purchase his gift. So I went to a site that I frequent often and that site can be found over at Coupon Trunk.com. This site is amazing. They supply all kinds of coupons for all sorts of stores. So I have decided to see what I can find in the way of a coupon for the WalMart that is in town. I’m never disappointed when I got to this site and usually can find any type of coupon that I’m searching for. So, I’m off to do a little shopping. Wish me luck!
