Gonna jump on the Ulog bandwagon and give it a go.
I'm not using the Ulog site either - does that matter? It looks awesome, but I need a delegation function for the post payout, so will stay for now on Steemit with Steem-plus attached. I'm hoping @steempeak ads delegation so I can swap there.
Anyway, today was OK. Kids are on school holidays but my wife and I are not. My wife works days from 8am - 12. Then I work from 2pm to midnight. We both work at the same store in a big Australian supermarket chain. A lot of our days tend to be a case of "Tag - your - it" and we don't get to spend a great deal of time together as a family. But these are the things you do to get by and make ends meet. It was a pretty dull day for the kids. We weren't going anywhere or doing anything.
Did a #freewrite today. Click here if you want to read it. I was not really happy with it, couldn't clear my mind to come up with anything creative. I love the freewrites since I started doing them, and would highly recommend getting involved. It is a great prompt if you want something to post about, and can get your brain going and fire up a bit of creativity. I am enjoying the process. Check out @mariannewest or look at some posts under the #freewrite tag and give it a go.
Work for me was challenging, but ended up being ok. There is huge pressure on at the moment cost cutting, in particular on cutting back our wages (in other words less hours of staff to get the job done). This is taking a toll on everyone in the store, and causing a sharp drop in team moral. I even found out tonight that there is a department manager at another store in our group that tried to take their own life recently. I didn't get told any details, I can only hope that this person survives and has a second chance at life. I imagine that there must be more to the story than just work stress, but don't know. These stories, and tough times in the old economy are just reminding me why I am involved in crypto, and looking forward to a better future without the immense pressure of these profit driven big businesses - trapping people in an out of date economic system.
