I haven’t made it big yet. I haven’t made it digital. And if I want to continue eating I needed a day job. So I asked a relative for a favor and got me a part time job at a catering service. Since I am staying and eating in their house, I think I will not get paid but I will still get fed.
The great part of this setup is that I have around 7 hours each day to blog, freelance and build up my digital portfolio. Currently I am writing for my other blog, which is less personal and more academic in nature. I am also transcribing random posts from youtube so I can finally get a transcription job.
I’m still trying to adjust my body clock to my new schedule. I have to wake up at 6 am leave the house by 8 and immediately go to the market. It takes 2 hours to get all the things done before I can get some free time which is around 10 am. Then by 1 pm after people have eaten we go back to the market to buy ingredients. That would take another 2 hours, followed by another 4 hours free time. By 6 pm I leave the canteen and go back home which gives me 2 hours of personal surfing, some job searching before I go to sleep.
I also have to memorize so many things. First there are the store owners. Second are the people who I have to watch over. Third are the locations of the shops. Memorizing has never been my best feature. I almost flunked my high school chemistry when I forgot what the periodic table was. Now I only remember maybe 15 elements and not in order. I estimate that I’ll memorize all of the stuff I need by the end of the year, when I am about to leave the job.
