My Ghosted Gig

My spirits high from yesterday's pancit canton and today not so much hey reality hello to you too hahaha. I have been doing this online data thing for ages. It was my reliable little earner. like my bread and peanut butter. Peanuts, sure, but consistent peanuts are still peanuts, and they added up. It was simple, enyable tasks to do, it was familiar, and honestly, I kind of loved the predictability of it. I can work anty time I desire and stop the moment I feel like it. It was my quiet little corner of the internet where I could just work and know exactly what to expect.

Then this year started and suddenly... poof. Nada. The tasks just dried up. I waited. I was patient. I refreshed the page more times than I care to admit kept logging in daily. I thought, okay, maybe a slow patch. But we are half the year already into this. Half the year mygash. And still.dry nada zero tasks.

It feels like my side hustle just... ghosted me. If that word applies here hahaha Like, one day it was there, a steady part of my life, and the next it vanished without a trace, no explanation, no breakup text. gone just gone including my tears dried up. It's so sad, really. It was my little dependable thing, and now it's just this big empty space. What have I done to feel dreprived of even this very small gig ? anyone having the same experience? what is happening hello.

And that means no income. Zero. Which, in the broke era, is a pretty big deal. It makes you wonder did the internet decide it didn't need my data entry skills anymore. Did some new, shiny thing come along and just sweep my reliable little gig under the rug. It's just so confusing when something you counted on just disappears from the face of the earth just like your old trusted friends when you were still doing great financially.

But hey, I am not staying down for long. Just means it’s time to find the next thing, right. Even if the world is changing faster than I can refresh a webpage. That is what I am telling myself during my self talk but is that even healthy to do?

Until next time,

Still searching for the next peanut.
