Good morning! It’s stormy here. We are under a tornado watch, and it’s supposed to rain aalll day. I decided to hit the treadmill for a quick speed session, and so glad I did because it started raining and thundering/lightning. Yikes! I could have been outside!
Have you missed anything the past few days? My Friday Favorite’s post was about GU, Saturday, Bobby and I ran a 5k race which ended up being a trail run, and we had no idea… Sunday I wrote a post about trail running, and realized I know nothing about it! Yesterday, my mom and I met up with Bobby at our new house, it’s almost complete!
So now that we are all caught up, I thought I would take some time to describe what a day looks like for me. As most of you know, I am currently working from home, so things sometimes look a little different than a normal house! Not to mention, I am currently living with my parents, so things are REALLY crazy right now!
7:15ish: Wake up, eat breakfast/chat with my mom/watch the Today show, laugh at the annoying people on the Today show.
8:00-12:00: Work on quotes for clients, call Disney, email clients, work on articles, etc. I usually eat lunch while I work. I also take short little breaks for twitter, to blog, etc. (sometimes longer than others…sshhh)
12:00-1:00 Go for a run or cross train, sometimes walk with my mom or mom and dad, dogs, etc. Whatever it is I just try to get out and move/sweat!
1:00-3:00 work on and off, depending on how much I have to do. I also take breaks during this time to do things like laundry, help my mom with dishes, shower, crosstitch…haha, just seeing if you are paying attention!
3:00-5:00 This is my computer playtime. I catch up on blogs, chat on twitter, etc. Sometimes I work here too, depending on what is going on, and who needs what. My phone/email is attached to my hip at all times.
5:00 Dinner time (we eat early, like old people…because I live with old people. JUST KIDDING mom and dad!)
6:00-9:00: Hodgepodge of hanging out with family, surfing blogs, vegging out.
9:00: Go upstairs and get ready for bed, read my Bible, and call Bobby to chat.
10:00-10:30ish: lights out, goodnight!
That is basically it…with some exceptions. I always joke my job is around the clock. I have had clients call in all hours of the day wanting things done, I had to even call Disney on Christmas eve for a client. I try to get quotes done within the same day I get them unless I get them in the evening or on a weekend. I TRY to not work on the weekends as much as possible but its not always possible. Also, sometimes I get up and run in the mornings instead of after lunch. Then there are days I will go run errands in the morning and so I just work later into the day. I love the flexibility, except when it cuts into family time. There are days I will work 9 hours, and days I will work 4-5. It really just depends! But, that is a rough estimate in case anyone was curious!
QOTD: Do you have an odd schedule like me? Do you enjoy having flexibility or a set schedule?
sorry for the picture-less post…
New-ish reader–what exactly do you do? Calling Disney sounds fun!
hey! I am a Disney travel agent! look on my menu bar and there is a link for “disney travel quote” there is info on there!
I wish I had a flexible schedule. It would be soooooooooo nice to get my weekday runs in during mid day so I didn’t have to run in the dark during winter. You are a lucky girl!
I know, I def don’t take it for granted! When I was a teacher I would be so tired when i came home I never wanted to run!
Wait. So when you work from home, you’re actually working? Psshh I don’t buy it 😉 Totally kidding. Your day seems so much more exciting than my day for some reason haha! Love the pics!
oh, VERY exciting lol! Hopefully I can get into a better routine when we move!
I think it’s so cool that you get to do travel quotes for Disney! 😀 How fun!
My schedule depends on the day but I definitely make time to run and catch up on all my blogs. 😉
I know I love it, I really have my dream job!
I definitely don’t have quite as flexible of a schedule, since I have to be in my office at set times seeing clients. I love that you have time scheduled to catch up on blogs and other internet related activities. I definitely need to start doing that:)
I have to set times or I would literally look at blogs all day!
I have a super set schedule and it’s a little boring! I work school hours, which are nice, but there is no flexibility….and my vacation time is ALWAYS during the peak season. I won’t complain, though. There are LOTS of perks!
I here you, I taught 5th grade for 2 years. the breaks were nice, but it was so hard to vacation b/c it was always the most expensive times! But all the holidays were nice!
hear not here…I am not awake yet!
What a fun job! We are up at 4:45am so I hear ya on having a schedule sometimes! Love the house pics, congrats!
yikes! thats so early, I am sorry!
and thanks!
I would die to have a more flexible schedule like yours. I have such a short attention span. Having to work between the hours of 8-4 probably isn’t the most efficient for me. I need a lot of breaks!
thats how I am, I can work really well for short spurts but I get so bored doing mundane tasks all day. I am so blessed to have the job I do!
I wish I was in bed and asleep by 10:30 everynight…that said its 10:11 and I am typing this so I guess its my fault! LOL
well my parents go to bed at 9, so I just go upstaits when they go to bed, and I start winding down. I am pretty boring!
