A late night discussion with my wife went as it always does when I get up in the middle of the night to work. I work from home which is good and bad but way more good than bad. "I wish you'd just stay here in bed with me." 'I know but I'm getting up to get this done because of you.' Most days I love my job. I learn something new and in theory I make something that helps someone do their job a little bit better. The reward for me comes in the building and learning though. Reading posts from Nett inspire the shit out of me. I am a youngling, more prone to slicing off my left arm with a light saber to his Force Lightening while having a cup of coffee. Still, it gives me direction to see someone capable of achieving what he does. Focus: Why do you do what you do? What part of it speaks to something deepset? Alt Focus: What inspires you whether professional or hobbywise? Alt Alt Focus: Since porn is off the table for your microcock (what is the lady version of microcock on the embarrassment scale? macro clitoris? cuz that wouldn't stop me.) what would you rather be doing if you could support yourself doing it?
No matter what it is, I tend to find excellence inspires me. Yesterday, I was watching a golf tournament on tv, and watching these guys hit the ball like they do makes me want to get out there and practice more, which I did. Whenever I watch anyone play guitar, it inspires me. No matter how good or bad they are, I've learned something by watching every single one of them. As to why I do what I do? I dogwalk. I think a big part of it right now is the fact that I don't have to deal with people. I'm pretty focused on trying to rebuild myself in a lot of areas, and I find that I feel more at ease when I'm not around others, mostly because I don't feel particularly confident in myself right now. The other part of it is I actually like what I do. The dogs are always happy to see me, I generally set my own running order, and generally enjoy the company of a great dog. There is a quiet comfort in what I do, and that makes me feel pretty good. As to what I'd do if I could support myself doing it? Probably be part of a political think tank.
Alt Alt Focus: I run two local news websites that are growing in leaps and bounds. I have no formal training in writing or journalism but people seem to like what I'm doing, we occasionally beat the local media outlets with breaking news, and I enjoy every minute of it. I'd love to be able to make a living doing it as well as be able to spend more time writing. But then maybe I would hate it, maybe it would actually feel like a job, taking all the fun out of it. Still, it'd be nice to find out. Working from home has always appealed to me.
