Monday Morning Mood

In Musings on May 4, 2009 at 12:45 pm

Fresh at my desk and the morning ritual with caffeine ingestion showing no signs of slacking and it’s my second pot; gone are the days when a cup of tea moved me, my tastes have been corrupted by full-on American Joe delivering  its electric jumpstart to Keybasher’s system.

Typically the start of the week is a good time for me; I like the “fresh start” provided though it’s a trifle stale given I worked my weekend.  As the saying goes, when your feet are in the fire you’ll do anything and so it is with me.  The day is murky and overcast in Richmond, Virginia remniscent of gloomy, fog laden mornings in Oldham, Lancashire”oop”  in the north-west of England and a damp chill seeking out your bones but here and now, the sun is claiming the air.

In front is a busy week with new clients and assignments; there was a genuine reason for working the weekend with two new commissions which are a welcome addition to my bottom line.  Everyone is struggling with money and business but it is not as bad as many make out; get off your backside and go look for work and you do find it just not as quickly as you once did.  

As you see, Keybasher is in positive mode, aggressively brooding on the dawning possibilities of these next few days while savouring the last dregs of coffee.

Time for work boy – get to it!

The Witching Hour

In Keybashing on April 30, 2009 at 4:13 am

Midnight arrives with the cranking of the AC unit telling me to go to bed!

One hell of a day with trying to turn my initial thoughts on marriage into something productive – this is what I call a “challenge” or maybe “moral dilemma” is more appropriate?

Initial thought on marriage – “Don’t!”

Total pay and Word rate = 25 cents (kerrching!)

Requested words on marriage – 1,200

Total pay = $400.

Dilemma?  What dilemma?

I like eating the same as you so quit looking aghast at my capitalist urge not to socially starve – remember, hunger affects 1 in 8 Americans and I have no desire to be that 1!

This aside, my day has been productively spent spamming potential providers with work requests, story ideas, pleas for work and some of this grovelling has now paid off and my fingers can get 7 hours sleep.

Keybasher may live to eat another day perchance to dream of enjoying a diet more in keeping with his station than mere Kraft Mac’ & Cheese :)

Who am I kidding – it will be dried bread and water as usual!
