Event Log: 8/14/2014 - Jomatto Productions Presents...




I spent the entire day putting these videos together. I've pretty much got ShareFactory down pat. The biggest challenge is getting decent material; I'm limited by my skill level. I put so much time working on these videos, I couldn't run until the evening.

I forgot to mention yesterday that a giant barrel of protein powder was delivered to my doorstep. I wasn't expecting it until next week. Who needs Amazon Prime when free shipping is this fast? I've tried it a few times with water and it tastes like watered down chocolate shake. I mixed it with my cereal milk this morning and it tasted amazing. Too bad water is more effective. The protein is absorbed faster. On the flip side, drinking it with milk at night is good since the body absorbs it during sleep. It'll be my new dessert from now on.

When I came back from my run, I realized how I've integrated something I didn't like into my routine. I don't bat an eyelash after the first mile anymore. If I can cut out an hour of my day to get tired as hell, surely I can spare another hour to look for a job. It's a motivation issue. I keep getting distracted. At least today wasn't a total waste. I spent a couple hours to produce about 6 minutes of content, but it just goes to show how much I value quality over quantity.

I replied to a random interview request over Odesk and I remembered why freelancing sucks. I thought my rate of $2/hour was low enough, but they had the audacity to request $1. Screw that. I'm not that desperate. My education, skills, and competency are worth more than that. Honestly, that's about the most insulting offer I've ever received. Let's hope I can use this anger as a catalyst.
