What makes me busy these past days?

Blog:129-9th Date :July 13,2022 Time :8:08pm I've been inactive here for almost 3 days now though I publish an article the other day. I wrote it when I got home from work.

Last Monday my boss chatted with me, she offered me an extra job. Anyway, my boss works as a freelancer for how many years now and it's not the first that she gave me an extra job. She offered me a data entry kind of job. A Microsoft Word document that contains 132 pages. My main task is to delete the numbers just like the one she encircled and I will also need to delete the footnote on each page. I need to arrange the paragraph after deleting the footnote. Each page should be intact and no space at the bottom. The Boss will pay me ***1000 pesos ($20)***. I was given until Wednesday 5 pm to submit the project.

I started the task right away since I was not that busy at work. I started deleting the numbers. And I finished it before I headed home around 5 pm. However, Tuesday when I got back to work. It's my daily routine to clean my desktop and empty my recycle bin. I accidentally deleted the Microsoft word File from that project. Since I deleted it I have to start all over again. Back to Zero. I can't be frustrated since it was my fault and I can't do anything about it. So I started deleting the numbers again and after I finished deleting all the numbers I had to double-check if I missed any before I proceed to delete the footnote. Deleting the footnote is easy. What challenge me is to arrange the paragraph after deleting the footnote. It would be easier if I can just backspace the keyboard to complete the paragraph but some pages can't be done that way. I have to cut and copy it. Honestly facing the computer for a couple of hours made me feel so exhausted. Thankfully I finished the said task yesterday afternoon and I immediately sent it to my boss. She was amazed that finished it that fast. When the time I sent her the finished project she was about to sleep. She usually sleeps during day time. So last night and this morning I waited for her response about the project if I made it right.

She chatted with me around 8:13 am. She was asking me if I am already at work. Lol, I was just about to leave the house when she chatted with me so I didn't reply to her chat. I suppose to be at work at 8 am. When I arrived at work I received her chat messages telling me that she will give me an additional task on that said project and she will pay me ***500pesos($10)*** for it. The additional task given was for me to input all the edited contents I edited yesterday into a table. Since I am not busy at work today I started it right away but as I was inputting the content on the table of contents I noticed some errors from the text I edited yesterday. So I tried to review it again and compare the original version and along the way of checking it I've seen more errors. So after checking and correcting the errors I continued to input the content into the table of contents. The errors that I've made yesterday, cause me not to finish the 2nd task today. I have a few more pages to finish.

**Ending thoughts** Being busy is a good thing for me. Even if I feel tired and exhausted after at least I am being productive in some ways and trying to earn from my side hustles. It's a perfect timing project since I badly need money since my bills are waving. I have payable on the 15th(SPayLater), 17th(Electric bill), and 20th(water bill) of the month. Who else here is also a freelancer? I think I explain a lot about why I was busy lol. Sorry for Making it long.
