Hello, my sisters and brothers Steemers. I had very nice weekend because the working week was exhausting. So I spent it resting with my family. My wife and the baby, my dog and cat, our couch and big screen TV. We had awful weather and I kinda liked it because we didn't have to go anywhere.
So after recharging my batteries, I woke up and this morning and went to my work 15 minutes earlier than usual. Usually I go later to avoid traffic rush and crowded streets when everybody is on the way for work. When I see those people I feel like we are all pawns in worldwide chess match.
However, I'm sitting in my office now and I have some time before my first clients come.
And I'm thinking about this job, am I the right person for that and is there something better for me... Well, I can tell you, I worked on many different things. I like that. I am not afraid to try something new. And after a year or two, I feel that it was enough to me. But this job... I hate it and I love it at the same time.
I saw many Steemit bloggers who quit their jobs to spend more time on Steemit.
Those are brave people and I can't talk against it, but I definitely couldn't do that. If I had these 8 hours free to be on Steemit and only on Steemit, I could probably manage to get better rewards and my posts would be better. I would have time to learn something about coding or find some other way to contribute. If I had 8 hours free only for Steemit, I think that I could make something from it. But that is not how I see things.
First, Steemit saved me from some really bad financial situations, I managed to buy a car with my crypto money.
So I am glad to have these hidden funds, but the point is that on my job, I know exactly the sum that I will get at the end of a month. And Steemit is like: "let's hope for the best...", and you never know how successful you'll be. Remember, the most successful Steemers are those who participate in some other actions and initiatives and they do nothing except that.
Second, if I decided to work nothing but being a Steemer, I would have to improve my curation rewards.
Honestly, curation rewards are something that I don't care much about. If I wanted to have nasty curation rewards, I would have to upvote a bunch of things that I don't like at all, just because I know that they will get big rewards. And this is where all loses it's magic... I don't care about curation rewards because I find many great posts that will not get any good rewards, so this is where my voting power goes.
And third, I simply can't be home in the mornings... I feel so useless.
If I want to enjoy the day, first I have to work. If I had my own Steemit Office, maybe that could be possible. But not at home.
Luckily, from time to time I can post on Steemit from my job!
And that the beauty of it! Like today! Sometimes, my job really makes me angry and nervous, but I like this chair and this desk.... I like my paycheck, I like my health insurance and I like the fact that I know exactly the sum which I will spend for Christmas presents, while Steem and Steem Dollar are jumping up and down like two kids on trampoline! It is really fun to watch them, but, call me old fashin, with my month salary I feel safe!
