Winter Holiday
For the past two weeks I have been on leave from my day job. I used some of my free time during the first week to read a few other blogs and downloaded marketing related material like the a href=”www.quirk.biz/emarketingtextbook eQuirk Marketing Text Book (which I will review later).
It didn’t take too long before my data bundle kicked the bucket. Instead of topping up, the library came in handy. I went and got 7 books to read – one about blogging, written in 2006. It seemed quite a bit outdated. How time flies on the internet!
It reminded me to never buy a book about internet marketing. By the time those things go to print, much newer technology and techniques would have hit the www. I have taken out a few internet related books before and each time the feeling of staleness was the same.
By the second week of my leave I had relaxed sufficiently to put away my computer. No writing, no working on website, no stockpiling of blog articles.
I read novel after novel. I realised why working from home would never work for me. It is far too comfortable here – if you disregard the maintenance men in the complex I reside in. Somehow they always have urgent things to do under my window while I try to get in a few late mornings after a few late nights.
Now it is time for hard work again. There is surely no rest for the wicked.
