I blogged previously somewhere in another corner of the interwebs about my life dreams and aspirations, new-found purpose. One of those is this known linguistics conference I've been eyeing on for months. I've submitted a research proposal last May. Already planned with a topic and research methodology for that dream paper presentation, and this is what I saw on my email inbox...

No need to put the exact email.
I guess doing shit on the net and letting my ass kiss the chair for an entire day ensues nothing but mediocrity. Knew I should've done better.
Meanwhile, It's been 18 days of work for my part time job for oDesk, and this has what transpired:
Contractor:
3 days gone and still did not received any filethis is 2 days working only.regards

Hi, Mr. ####. It seems that my other work has expanded its time and load requirement alongside my graduate school. Would it be possible that I regularly write 6 articles in a span of 2 days and a half instead?
Contractor

First off, why the fuck did I say that? I NEED COLD HARD CASH.
Second, I was actually eager to have the contract ended because I already have 2 other jobs and grad school. I feel all the workload is taking a toll on both my output and reputation as an employee.
Third, are my reasons valid to letting go or am I just too lazy?
