Working Two Jobs and Not Being an Idiot

March 21, 2005 by

In recent times I had got into the rather bad habit of staying up way too late and being a write off by the time I was supposed to arrive at work bright and breezy ready for the day…

The Boss could always tell when I had been gaming or surfing or blogging into the wee hours … out would come the Diet Coke… if it arrived on the table prior to 11am you knew that it really had been stupid o’clock when I went to sleep… if I had at all!!

Well, the fact is you can’t live like that right? Especially when 40 is closer than 30 (OMG!!!) So… I made a tough decision and stopped bed blogging… In fact the computer now stays on the kitchen table (which is actually the dining table and it lives in the lounge/dining room … Let’s face it, I live in a shoebox) but I digress…

Given that I have this 2nd job and am working my way through the new website projects, I have a new routine which is working rather nicely…

1. 5pm – I leave the office on time… (A very mean feat… considering I used to be the Queen of staying late)
2. I set up the laptop on the Kitchen TableTM as soon as I get home and grab a beer or coffee (depending on the day).
3. I start work on one of the extra mural projects.
4. I work till whichever of my favourite crime shows is on (usually around 8.30) unless I am off out singing like I will be tonight, or Wednesday when I am going to the Lion King (HOORAY). (and somewhere in there I eat something).
5. Once my show has finished I check in on the blog stats and comments.
6. I head to bed.
7. At a reasonable hour.
8. I sleep well.
9. I get up and go walking on the beach
10. I go to work all bright and breezy as contracted to be…

Let’s see how long it lasts… At least I’m not scorching the Doona (duvet/comforter) cover with my hot little laptop!!!

    My Dear,

    I am so jealous that you get to walk on the beach each morning. I could if I wanted to be an icicle… most jealous! And you have koalas!

    Now why on earth did I feel soooo guilty when I read about your late nights and how you’ve been battling to get up to go to work? Almost as if I could’ve had something to do with it… Which of course is a preposterous idea!

    You good girl! I’m proud of you. So I promise I’m not even going to tempt either of us by logging on to chat.

    And I needn’t even TELL you how jealous I am of you going to The Lion King!!!!

    What busy evenings you have! I need to get into gear to study! ;-)

    And good to hear you’re leaving work at 5pm! Far too many of my friends stay back until all hours. If I’ve done my work by 5 — I am out of there!

    Enjoy The Lion King! Look forward to hearing about it.
