excessively boring life update

Work schedule looking a bit saner. Only worked 9.30am-6pm today, because someone cancelled. She was all concerned and wanted to pay me for cancelling the lesson - I said "actually, I'm really tired so you're doing me a favour", she said "but still...". I think we've agreed that she should pay me half the fee. I'll just give it to charity, or one of my broke friends... I really can't take money for nothing - let alone money for sitting at home playing Pokemon!

Tomorrow also an improvement - 11.30am to 9pm, with a 2 1/2 hour gap in the middle. Hooray.

But you know I said last night "I just hope I can get to sleep before 3am tonight"? Still awake at 4.20am :/ Had been tired the whole day - but spent so long fighting sleepiness that come a sensible time to start going to bed (any time after 9pm), I just couldn't shut down enough to get sleepy :/ Damn my total intolerance to caffeine - at least if I could drink caffeine I could actually stop drinking it sometime before I wanted to sleep. As it is, running off my own b0rken biochemistry with no possible external stimulants, I've learnt to fight sleepiness by producing adrenaline - and you try consiously stopping production of adrenaline :/ Meh.

I have Pokemon DVDs :) 25 episodes :) Don't expect to see me for a few days ;)

Take the money. What you do with it is your business, but it is important that you demonstrate to your clients that your time is valuable by charging when they cancel on short notice.

True. I think the one major problem with me being self-employed is that I'm just too bloody nice. It's easy for people to take advantage of me, because I don't like confrontation...

Am learning my limits, though :)
