Overworked? Totally
Never thought I’d ever be the type to overwork myself deliberately. But hey, it seems I am.
I’ve got four writing projects to be getting on with at the minute. If you didn’t already know, I work as a freelance writer. I’ve been offered a good deal of work, and I really can’t bear to turn it down. If I get enough work, I won’t have to somehow find time to get to the bank to increase my overdraft, so it’s hard not to be greedy.
But yeah. The projects I’ve got have all got to be done within the next week. One is a 50 page e-book on exam techniques, another involves writing 40 articles on (lol) penis enlargement, another (my favorite of the moment) involves writing 20 articles on forensic science (aimed at potential forensic science students) and the fourth is really boring and involves writing short articles on hospital beds.
I intend to get a lot done during my “down time” in the lab. I’m doing molecular biology, so there’s a good amount of down time, but I still have a lot of lab work to do, so that will probably equate to about an hour during lunch (and that’s a big thing for me…before Christmas I was barely getting 10 minutes for lunch…yay 4 more time).
Of course, I have a lot of reading to do for my dissertation, and I really need to get cracking with the writing of it. I haven’t done anything ‘fun’ since I got back to uni. I haven’t even listened to music except when I’m on the bus. Next break is the middle of April for a couple of days. High blood pressure? I think so. BUT IT’S WORTH IT. MONEYMONEYMONEY.
