ST1 - Day3 - 15h - 2/13/20
What a weird day. First of all my back started to hurt sometimes. Guess it is because of my bad posture when I sit in front of the computer. Second, one of my google accounts has been activated and I don’t know why. I sent an email to the support to clarify this. This is really weird lol.
Then I got another message from the guy I told you about yesterday. He asked me to hand in myy CV and my portfolio which I did.
I feel weird about this I must say. Since the last couple of times things didn’t turn out that well I became more cautious and there are several things about this that I can’t stop thinking about.
- Why the hell did he reach out to me in the first place? A part of me thinks it is the universe at work,
the other part thinks it is strange when you include the fact that he is looking for a trainee for more
than 3 months now. This must mean in the whole time he found noone to work with, or noone who’d stay. Maybe because of the conditions?
He and his friend seem to be surprisingly consistent with this, considering that his friend, who is in my class, still didn’t answer to talk about the business we wanted to build or to send me a presentation we had to do 3 weeks ago…
- There is something strange about this website. You know the part of websites where they list their references for social proof? Normally, companies would put up names and logos of clients there. What the did is write “We have leading clients in the following branches” followed by a list of business branches. I have never seen something like this before.
I handed in what he asked for and I am ready to hear him out and then decide. But for now I am almost 100% certain I am not going to do it. Apart from the points I have mentioned above, there is little to gain for me. Probably little money, nothing to learn (because they are looking for a designer and I want to learn specific marketing topics. They mentioned marketing in their ad but they mentioned it so little it is obvious they are mainly looking for a designer) and I’d just waste time I could invest in my business. Apart from that I don’t want to spend 5-7 hours staring at a screen at work and then getting home to stare 5-7h at a screen at home.
The only circumstance I’d be willing to do this is if there was a possibility for me to freelance the work. But we will see what he has to say and then I will make my decision.
Now on to something else.
Dunno if it is EoG but I think I feel bad today because I didn’t get to where I wanted to today. Which is crazy when you consider I wanted to setup a complete store from scratch today. I probably could have done that but there were several things that held me back. I thought about doing my homework and the presentation for my classes but then I thought “What for? It’s just a waste of time”
This may seem stupid for you but trust me it is. I have my points for that. I still got work done though.
I created some more designs and now I ended up doing 13 designs in 3 days. Pretty neat actually.
This mood is also funny when you consider I just spent last week doing nothing on purpose haha.
But this may be really interesting, EoG pushing me to do stuff and making me feel bad when I don’t. There are so many possibilities with this (I really hope there is something like this in the dating-subs)
On to something more positive: Remember the flu I caught and that I told you about?
It’s almost gone now. This is very crazy and disturbing. Since I am doing Wim Hof breathing every day, a flu normally never lasts longer than a few day to a week.
This has been bugging me for about 2.5 weeks now and it wasn’t like a usual flu. I had cough a lot and I talked to a friend of mine who had the same symptoms but much worse (Thank god for Wim Hof).
The possibility of this being a normal flu is rather low. Considering there are numerous reports of Influenza spreading rapidly, I think this is what I have caught (and fought).
So yeah, I fought the evil virus-monster!
I think people would worry much less about Corona and illnesses and general if they did the Wim Hof breathing.
That’s all for today (sorry for the long post)
