Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Fifty-One, Dateline 9-8-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-fifty-one of Operation Achieve Anything. Yesterday’s assignment was to reflect on the first two-hundred-fifty days that I’ve spent with the Achieve Anything… book. Since I habitually use such reflections to transition to the assignment portion of these posts, I’m going to skip the intro and dig right in.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Fifty, Dateline 9-7-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-fifty of Operation Achieve Anything. Last night was night number three working my new graveyard schedule, and now that I’m actually getting some sleep, I’m really loving the new way that my day breaks down. It’s amazing how freeing starting my day at midnight is when you also have control over your schedule. This is why I may often complain about my work from home gig but am in no rush to leave it.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Forty-Nine, Dateline 9-6-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-forty-nine of Operation Achieve Anything. Last night was my second attempt at this new graveyard schedule I plan to keep while I clean up this website to make it more presentable, now that I’m confident enough in my work to promote it in hope to replace my day job. I can’t wait to settle into this sleep cycle because I love how it frees up more time for my personal project, while still allowing time for my paid work.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Forty-Eight, Dateline 9-5-2018

Good afternoon crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-forty-eight of Operation Achieve Anything. I’m setting myself up for a rough next couple of months, but at the same time, it should also be rather fun. As you may see from the note at the top of this page (at the time of writing this post), I had a spellchecker incident that’s led the entire site to be filled with typos from said spellchecker not committing the changes when I would hit the publish button to share my posts.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Forty-Seven, Dateline 9-4-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-forty-seven of Operation Achieve Anything. Here we are on a Tuesday following a ten and a half day break from my day job due to a system outage. At first, I was upset because the time off meant that I wasn’t making money, but now I am thankful for the random gift since it reminded me that I can’t count on the company as a reliable income stream.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Forty-Six, Dateline 9-3-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-forty-six of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s weird, but ever since I started to think of this next project that I want to start that will run alongside The Wicker Breaker, I’ve been feeling a sense of building momentum toward this site and my life in general. Though it might night be apparent to an outsider, to me, it feels like the decades worth of puzzle pieces that I’ve been sowing about are finally piecing together.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Forty-Five, Dateline 9-2-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-forty-five of Operation Achieve Anything. Last night ended up being an amazingly productive night as I tripled down on the behind-the-scenes work for this website in an effort to ease me out of vacation mode. I was getting a bit worry that come Tuesday, I’d be so set into my downtime ways that I wouldn’t be able that I would struggle to keep up with my prevacation pace.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Forty-Four, Dateline 9-1-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-forty-four of Operation Achieve Anything. This week off from the day job has been great, but it’s also made me extremely lethargic since I’ve been taking advantage of the spare time to take a legitimate break. Having only this Daily Breaker post and one SNL review to worry about, I’ve been extremely casual with my efforts. I’ve also started a walking regiment that has me feeling extra burnt out since I’ve been so inactive over the past several of months.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Forty-Three, Dateline 8-31-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-forty-three of Operation Achieve Anything. Between the summer heat that started my latest bout of inactivity and my most recent run-in with sciatica that had me bedridden for about a month, I’ve been feeling like complete garbage for most of this year as far as my physical health is concerned. That’s why when the Achieve Anything… book challenged me to start a new habit, I knew right away that it would have to be health based.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Forty-Two, Dateline 8-30-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-forty-two of Operation Achieve Anything. Today’s number seven of my impromptu vacation from my day jobs task assigning system being down all fricking week. Though I’m enjoying the time off, I really wish my work was honest enough to say that they met their client’s quota for the month so there will be no more work until the first instead of treating it like it’s a system error.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Forty-One, Dateline 8-29-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-forty-one of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s Wednesday and seems that my day job has finally worked through the issues that allowed/forced me to take the last five days off, counting the weekend which I initially planned to work to make up for the days my work’s site was down just the week before. Though I hope it isn’t the case, returning to work might allow me to practice some of these anger management techniques being taught in the Achieve Anything… book over the past couple of day.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Forty, Dateline 8-28-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-forty of Operation Achieve Anything. I don’t know if it’s the fact that the Achieve Anything… book’s current theme is anger management has me thinking about the subject with intent, the fact that I’ve been more focused on relaxation during my downtime, or the fact that a system error is given me an impromptu five day weekend, also giving me a guilt-free break from my work, but I’ve been feeling extra calm as of late.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Thirty-Nine, Dateline 8-27-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-thirty-nine of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s amazing how it feels like the more rest that you get, the more you want to sleep, at least that often seems to be the case with me. I planned to do a lot of work over the weekend since my day job is offering up over time but that plan didn’t last all that long thanks to the fact that my work’s system crashed midday Friday and there was apparently nobody there to fix the problem over the weekend.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Thirty-Eight, Dateline 8-26-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-thirty-eight of Operation Achieve Anything. It’s Sunday, and I have company on their way over, so I’m just going to jump right into yesterday’s assignment where I was supposed to explain the physical signs to my anger as the Achieve Anything… book continues its anger management theme. This is something I’m pretty aware of because I’ve been passively trying to deal with the issued for decades.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Thirty-Seven, Dateline 8-25-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-thirty-seven of Operation Achieve Anything. Last night I partook of the second of the two high potency edibles that I bought on my last payday that I planned to use to truly test the comfort level of my new adjustable bed frame. I ate the first one last week while the bed was on order, and I just wanted to force myself into a break. I can’t believe that there are laws against something so natural and has the potential to do so much good.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Thirty-Six, Dateline 8-24-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-thirty-six of Operation Achieve Anything. I can’t believe it’s already Friday again, it seems like it was just yesterday that I was excited about it being another weekend allowing me time to take a break. I really need to do some relaxation time this weekend because I’m feeling burnt out from maxing out the hours I’m allowed to work in a week. I know that many people will roll their eyes at these claims of exhaustion considering this maxed out time is only thirty hours a week but you have to remember that I put three to five hours into this blog seven days a week.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Thirty-Five, Dateline 8-23-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-thirty-five of Operation Achieve Anything. Yesterday, I received my the new bed frame that I ordered as my effort to settle into my living space to make my stay on this earth a little more comfortable while I continue to figure out how to make a legitimate living on my own term. This is one of those bed frames with a remote that allows you to raise and lower your feet and head, giving you options for how to lie in bed.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Thirty-Four, Dateline 8-22-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-thirty-four of Operation Achieve Anything. Though I loved the impromptu time off the came from the day job’s servers being down, I decided that I’d put in the extra work to make up for the time off. Yesterday, I tested the water and worked the maximum six-hour day that the job allows. For the longest time, I was sticking to the four hour minimum because the management for this team is so flaky I feared that the more that I worked, the more likely more likely I’d make a mistake that would get me fired.

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Thirty-Three, Dateline 8-21-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-thirty-three of Operation Achieve Anything. I always find it interesting how everyone loves to advise people to just be themselves to get people to like them only to go on and explain how you need to be positive and confident as well.  What does this mean for neurotic people like me whose insecurities stem from their core to where “just being yourself,” can tend to push people away?

Operation Achieve Anything: Day Two-Hundred-Thirty-Two, Dateline 8-20-2018

Good morning crickets. Welcome to day number two-hundred-thirty-two of Operation Achieve Anything. Today’s post is going to be an interesting one that’s going to take a bit of time as I have to list one-hundred things that I am thankful for. I’m just going to jump right into the task because; One) it’s hard to create a list of a hundred of anything and Two) as a bit of a nihilist, in the middle of an existential crisis, it’s hard to feel genuinely thankful while still coping with so much loss.
