Finding Jobs Online

Finding jobs online has always been a struggle for me. There are days where I’ll just search for hours trying to find something new. I get pretty bored with what I’m doing fairly easily so I like to mix things up a bit and explore new areas. I have been taking on projects lately that I never thought I would be able to do. I have been reviewing electronics, writing FAQs for websites. These are things I never would have dreamed would have been possible. I’ve been very lucky to meet people online who are willing to give me a chance. I tell them straight up that I have no idea what I’m doing but I will work with them and see what we can come up with together. I think that open-minded attitude has gotten me very far.

I have my days, where I feel so uncomfortable with the current project I’m working on that I just want to give up, but somehow, I end up finishing it and it’s such a great feeling. This is why I live to work online. The possibilities are endless and I’m learning so much more than I ever would have imagined. No “real” job could ever teach me this much. No real job could give me the opportunity to get to know people from all walks of life, all around the world. I am learning about different cultures and it’s fascinating. Even though people are so different, they are all the same in so many ways as well.

The world seems much smaller since I’ve been working online.

Chris Working Two Jobs

I don’t know how my boyfriend does it, but he’s been working two jobs now for over month. I work from home and I can barely handle what I do sometimes. I have no idea what I would be like if I were working as many hours as he’s working. The most I’ve ever worked is 40ish hours a week (sometimes I had a few hours of overtime a week or so) and I would always go home and cry, not wanting to return to work the next day.

I just think he’s doing so amazing and I really look up to his determination. I used to be like that, spend a lot of time at work and was making good money (for what I needed to pay for at the time) and it was an amazing feeling but then I got to a point where I realized that I had to put my happiness before anything else. I know that may sound immature to some of you, but it works for me.

I am so proud of Chris for doing what he’s doing, but it puts so much more pressure on me than I already put on myself. I’m trying very hard to take one day at a time and work hard and just do as much as I possibly can. For some reason though, it just never feels good enough.

I’m just having one of those days. I need to relax. I know the feeling will pass.
