Weekend Blogger

Please notice, this post is not a complaint, just a statement of acceptance.

I’m a weekend blogger. After analyzing the more recent posts, and the dates in which they where added, everything indicates that this a place is managed by a weekend blogger.

Why do I only add new stuff to the blog in the weekend? This question has a simple answer… During the week, the workload amounts to more that 10-11 hours per day, which leaves very little time for anything else.

This doesn’t mean that the blog is completely abandoned during this period. New posts are drafted, design is improved, comments are approved, but the publishing of a new post is an event that needs more attention (and so, more time).

The lack of time also has impact on the amount of research done for each post. According to some blogging tips, the research is important and for me that implies photography time. Today is raining, but usually during the weekend my SLR become my faithful companion.

As my workload doesn’t seem to be lowering anytime soon, my posts will continue to be added during the weekend…

 

Nine to five…

A job from nine to five… thats a kind of job I’ll never be able to have. Not because I couldn’t apply a job like that, but simply because those kinds of jobs are not for me. Routine is a thing that can be enjoyed for a little while, but over an extended period becomes boring.

I need to change tasks from time to time, and if changing tasks is not a possibility… the need to, at least change working schedule, is seen as a must have. At work, where the ongoing task is estimated to continue for at least two and a half months, my work is weekly divided and (almost randomly) distributed.

Random Schedule

Of course, there some constraints to this schedule, such as the need to pick up my daughter at school. But, the feeling of being one of the privileged with a non-nine-to-five job is very good. Of course, that freedom comes at a price… but that will be the subject of another post(s).
