My life

The Big Day! With Christmas coming up a supermarket is the worst place in the world to be right now(apart from being trapped in a minefield under sniper fire). As much as I want to leave the place it is pointless until we get the holiday over with, as no one wants to know. Employers can’t be bothered to take an interest in you as they are thinking of themselves too much. So the place goes on. I had to go in on my “Day off” yesterday to help out as two other people phoned in sick. I’ll get... Sign in to see full entry.

Ebay-blog! I see even Ebay has got on the band wagon and started giving people space for blogs. Might be some mileage in posting there as you can use it as a frame for the stuff you are selling. Brief note as its been a long day, and Heroes is on at 9. Weather wet but mild. Steve UK. Sign in to see full entry.

Facebook! I was wondering how Blogit shaped up compared to new social sites like Face book and bebo? I know all about Myspace, as I’ve looked at it from the points of view from money making to programming and the occult. Basically it’s a waste of time. You will trawl through hours of rubbish with nothing to show for it. But I wonder if new sites like Facebook are any better? The little I’ve dabbled with it, it seems to be little of substance. So why do people bleat on about it so much? Maybe... Sign in to see full entry.

Extra Extra!! Worked two extra hours today at the supermarket. So tired that I can’t stop, if you know what I mean. I’ve been running at full pace all day and can’t wind down. Sure enough I could go strait to bed now, but what a waste of life to just give in. Don’t think my health can stand up to much more of it. Still Ebay is picking up, and I’ve asked for some special help from my allies, so things might go my way. Weather is mild for November, we had some rough spells but it will come and go...

Same Old song! After reading gomedome’s page about trying to sell an E-book detailing the ups and downs of making a living from online surveys, I felt I had to say something. If you have been reading my pages over the last year or so, you will know that I’ve tried harder than most at trying to make an honest living from doing just that. The sad truth is, you can’t There is no way you can even find enough surveys to pay you a living wage even for one day of the week. Most of them will only pay... Sign in to see full entry.

Keeping your Hand in. With Ebay thumbing along and little I can do until the 29 th, I want to find out what my next path will be. Sure I will be stuck in another dead end job, but I’m a great believer in exploring every path. Sage book keeping is a road I can travel down, as I have the grades and know I can do it with ease. Excel and most Office stuff, I can carry off. But I’ve put so much into PHP and Dreamweaver that I want to keep it open. The funny thing is I feel I’ve forgotten the level of...

Sunday Not much happening, but I have to keep making an entry for the sake of my sanity if nothing else. Two big goals in my life at the moment, are Work and the House. Work because I want to get out of the place I’m in, a really terrible supermarket, and the house because I want a little more security. I’ve been reading Anthony Robbins book Awaken the Giant Within! Now I know a lot of this is just gung ho mind games, but some of his ideas do hold water. Many of the ways he gets people to... Sign in to see full entry.

Sage! With the good news that I might be discharged from bankruptcy on the 28 of November, I once again turn to how I’m going to make a living. Ebay is working out really well, but still would not make a weeks wages. Even if I signed on, it would not make enough to live on. So I turn to a little exploited skill in my bag, book-keeping. I know the Sage accountancy system reasonably well, but of course I’m held back by my shear lack of experience. The next step would be to see how I could get a... Sign in to see full entry.

Self help! I’ve been reading in my various self-help books, that writing down a statement of intention is a step towards achieving your goals. Seeing as no one would be interested in a special diary(least of all me) I thought I’d write it down here. 1, I want to be able to have a healthy part-time income from my books on Ebay. 2, I want to be out of the supermarket as soon as my bankruptcy allows. 3, I want a stable source of income to alleviate money worries. Of course I have some special means... Sign in to see full entry.

Drop a line Nothing much happened today. Turned up for work, to find I was the only one in my department. The others were either off sick or too hung over from last night. The trucks were backing up on the dock and the goods were spilling off the pallets to smash on the floor. Luckily the department manager was called in on his day off to save the day. Just finished work, and have checked Ebay. A few books sold today, but not a living wage. Still, things are looking up. I always like Autumn.... Sign in to see full entry.
