Operation Achieve Anything: Day One-Hundred-Seventy-Three, Dateline 6-22-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-seventy-three of Operation Achieve Anything. Today I was trying something different and I really don’t like the outcome. I thought, “How great would it be to finish my paid work first to then spend the rest of my Friday having fun while working on my TheWickerBreaker.com content. Unfortunately, now I’ve finished work and am in a very grumpy mood because of technical from the paid gig, and now the service I used to create my blog pages is acting up where it will not allow me to save my content so now I’m in a frustrating fight with my own site.

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-seventy-two of Operation Achieve Anything. Today is the last day of yet another family visit, which has been fun but at the same time, I can’t wait to get back to my normal scheduled programming. There’s just a subtle sense of unnecessary stress whenever there’s a guest in the house. I feel it’s because my family has a way of always trying to be the perfect host while deep down inside we really don’t like any changes to our routines. I think this because I either inherited or learned that trait through my upbringing, so it’s easy to spot when it shows up in the people who did the raising or were also raised this way.

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-seventy-one of Operation Achieve Anything. Today’s going to be another quick one. That said, unlike in the past where I either claimed I was in a rush only to ramble on for a page and a half or I admitted to the defeat of feeling uninspired, this post is going to be quick due to the fact that yesterday’s assignment was an artistic one and I’ve already spent a ton of time fulling the actual assignment and now I need to move on.

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-seventy of Operation Achieve Anything. My paycheck arrived last night and though I still have to wait to get it cashed, just having it in my possession is enough to ease some of the stress that’s been building ever since I burned through my last bit of money. I don’t have as much to buy with this paycheck so I should be able to make it stretch until I get paid again and should be able to keep this paycheck to paycheck existence running smoothly, at least until I get fired from my job.

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-sixty-nine of Operation Achieve Anything. Here we go with another Monday where I feel nice and refreshed from not having to do the day job on the weekend and wondering how long it will take for the gig to drive me out of my mind. Hopefully, this will be an easy week as there does seem to be ups and downs in how knit-picky they get with their feedback.

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-sixty-eight of Operation Achieve Anything. Yesterday, I got a lot of much-needed rest and now feel like my spirits have been reset during the downtime. This is good because I was just saying how I was starting to slip into a negative headspace that didn’t quite feel like a bout of depression but I definitely was finding myself starting to focus on the gloomier side of existence.

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-sixty-seven of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s Saturday, I’m starting to feel run down, so I’m going to make this one quick in order to rush back to bed to lay around for another day in hopes that this bout of weekend rest will finally work out the back pain that’s been contributing to my low mood. Thankfully, I don’t feel that I’m slipping into another bout of depression, I just feel like I need a bit of a recharge as I continue to find the right life balance since my schedule’s been shifted thanks to my new gig.

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-sixty-six of Operation Achieve Anything. I’m so excited that it’s Friday and I’m just a couple of hour away from being done with my day job for a couple of days. I hate how much this gig drains my energy each week, especially considering how easy the work is and how it should be a stress-free job. It almost feels like the company keeps throwing extra hurdles in order to stop us from settling into a groove by making subtle changes to their expectation randomly throughout the week.

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-sixty-five of Operation Achieve Anything. This is probably going to be a quick one because the Achieve Anything… book’s returned focus on lessons about laughter is really starting to get me feeling down. For one, the book already dredged up enough sad thoughts about my former favorite past-time during the last laughter-themed set of lesson from just a couple of months ago.

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-sixty-four of Operation Achieve Anything. We’ve reached the humpday of this week that I just can’t wait to be over. It’s not really that it’s been all that bad but I’m getting really antsy about payday being just around the corner. The job I have pays only once a month making it harder to spread out my spending to maintain this new phase of a paycheck to paycheck life that I’m building up to.

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-sixty-three of Operation Achieve Anything. Well, yesterday turned out to be an unexpected fun day where I woke up early enough to finish all of my obligations before noon and then said fuck it which led to a bit of day drinking. I don’t really feel all that bad about this impromptu decision since it was a failed goal throughout the entire weekend only I kept giving into tinkering with my website overhaul.

Thankfully, this is due to the fact that I just want to rest and not because I’m feeling down and depressed since I’ve been on an upswing over the past couple of weeks.

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-sixty-one of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s Sunday, and I think that I’ve gotten as far as I can with my blog overhaul until my next paycheck comes in and I can afford to buy the software I need to move forward. Since that’s not coming for a little over a week, that means I get some time where I get to take it easy for a little bit while not worrying whether or not I’m procrastinating.

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-sixty of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s six o’clock in the AM on a Saturday and here I sit, blown away by the fact that I’ve seemed to cross over to become an early morning person where this is the new time that I enjoy to work. I wish I could have pulled this off back in my nine to five days when it actually mattered what time I started my day as opposed to now when my schedule is completely flexible.

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-fifty-nine of Operation Achieve Anything. I woke up extra early this morning after an early slumber. I didn’t want to wake this early but my new thing is if I can’t get to back to sleep while I have things to do, I get right to work rather than laying around with my eyes closed wishing for just one more hour of rest. That way, I can finish my day earlier and then fit in a nap.

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-fifty-eight of Operation Achieve Anything. Right now, I’m very happy that things are finally starting to settle with my new job. Not only is their system running smoothly again, but they’ve finally sent out a clearer explanation of their quality expectations that makes it easier to defend my work when the auditors flag me for getting something wrong. Not only that, but the auditors now seem to be on the same page now that they have these instructions as well, meaning there is far less conflict in the first place.

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-fifty-six of Operation Achieve Anything. Yesterday turned out to be a pretty good day where I managed to get caught up on a lot of things that I wasn’t able to get to over the weekend thanks to my older sister’s surprise visit. Not only that, but my job’s website seemed to work out their bugs so I was able to knock out my paid obligations without any delay. To top things off, my job also provided us better instruction about what they expect out of us that I can now use as evidence when the work auditors misjudge the tasks I turn in.

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number one-hundred-fifty-five of Operation Achieve Anything. Here we go with another Monday to start another week. Though I got a lot done this weekend I didn’t get to as much as I wanted because of a surprise visit from my oldest sister, who just dropped by to take a break from her usual routine with her family. I could’ve continued working since she brought things to keep her busy but I find it hard to focus when there are visitors in the other room. Plus, I like when she drops by because she’s one of the few people outside the family who I live with that I actually enjoy speaking to.

It’s Sunday, so I’m going to make this a quick one so that I can get back to work on the blog overhaul that I started a couple of days ago. This actually fits into yesterday’s assignment which was a continuation of the inspiration-themed tasks that the Achieve Anything… book has been focused on, which started the overhaul in the first place.
