I never thought I'd have a personal story to add to the 'Fastlane Forum Funnies' but it has happened.
Starting monday, I've started work at 8:00am to help with breakfast and maid service (I work at a B&B for the time being while I get some things fixed health wise, and to give me income to fund my business).
I need to wake up around 5:30am.
So about 20 minutes ago I wake up and see that it's 7:20am! I had to be at the bus stop 10 minutes ago.
I run downstairs, and make breakfast. On my way to the kitchen I pass my roommate and her boyfriend, and I say to myself, 'Hmm, that's weird, they aren't usually awake this early'.
I make my breakfast and then wolf it down. I realize that there's no chance of me getting to work on time, so I decide to quit my job as I would probably lose it anyway for being over an hour late.
Just as I'm about to start writing an email to my boss, announcing my resignation, I check the clock again and realize that it's 7:20PM!!!!
I worked myself into such a state of exhaustion, that I quite literally passed out any time from 4pm-6pm (I have no memory of any of it) while reading 'Think and Grow Rich'.
There is a serious lesson learned from this story as well. I need to quadruple my business effort, because I don't want a large portion of my energy/effort going towards making someone else more wealthy, while I work for peanuts at the bottom of the totem pole.
My paypal finally went through, so I purchased my domain. Just need to buy my hosting, and I'm ready to get going! :smxF:
