A Day in the Life of a (Bad) Freelance Writer

12:00 AM - Whoo-hoo! Only half an hour left until I can leave my "day" job. Wonder if it's still called a "Day Job" if you work overnights?...

12:30 AM - Whooooo! Up yours, work!

1:00 AM - Why is this drive so long?!

1:15 AM - Yay, home! I'm going to make dinner, then I'm going to get to writing!

2:00 AM - Just one more rerun of 30 Rock that I've seen several times, then I'm going to write

3:00 AM - ....Damn. Oooh, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia! I'll half-assedly do research during commercials.

3:30 AM - Ring! Ooh, boyfriend's on the phone. I'll just talk to him until he gets home, then work!

5:00 AM - Shit. We've been on the phone for an hour and a half. Eh, I have tomorrow off. I'll just write a lot when I get up. Time to knit while watching Doctor Who!

6:00 AM - Fall asleep on the couch.

2:00 PM - Hmmm....I should get up. Well, I don't get a lot of sleep on days I do work. Maybe I'll sleep for a little while longer....

3:00 PM - Discuss financial difficulties with boyfriend. Decide financial difficulties would be less difficult if I would just buckle the fuck down and write more. And if we got less carry out. Oooh, carry out...

4:00 PM - Write for about twenty minutes.

4:20 PM - Distracted by cat. Play with cat.

5:00 PM - Talk to Mom on the phone.

6:00 PM - Talk to boyfriend on phone while he drives to work

7:00 PM - Well, really, Chinese take-out makes more fiscal sense than cooking for one. By the time I buy chicken and rice and veggies, it costs more to make the one meal than the $10 take-out that I can get three meals out of...

8:00 PM - Yay, eating Chinese food!

8:30 PM - Fucking seriously, go write.

8:35 PM - I'll just look at the new health insurance information from work.

9:00 PM - Have a total fucking meltdown over how frustrating and confusing the new health plan is. Bitch at internet group.

10:00 PM - Yoga

10:45 PM - Damn, I miss having a gym membership.... No, you're not going for a walk right now. WRITE SOMETHING!

10:55 PM - Blogging? Really, dumbass?! You're fucking blogging?! YOU DON'T GET PAID FOR THIS SHIT!

11:15 PM - Good job! You've wasted most of an entire day!
