"Roll-Over Minutes"

Posted by apurplecow on July 15, 2009

The past couple of weeks have been busy.  I don’t have enough time to do the things I need to do.  But I have an idea on how to fix the time problem. 

You know how some cell phone companies advertise “roll-over minutes”?   I need to have some roll-over minutes of my own.  How can I get them? 

Wouldn’t that be wonderful?  When you are sick or just vegging around the house, you could save those minutes.  Then when you have alot to do, you just reach into that drawer or closet and pull out some of those roll-over minutes.  

Just think how much simpler things would be if you had access to some minutes like that.  You could take the time that you spend waiting in the doctors office, or at the DMV or any of those places that you have to wait, and save the minutes.  Then the wait wouldn’t be so long.  And when you have too many things to do, you just take out some minutes and keep going.  Don’t worry you won’t be late, you have extra minutes.  

Another good point about the roll-over minutes.  If you have a deadline and you are running late, pull out the minutes you saved at the mechanic shop last week.

I will have to work on implementing this “Roll-Over Minutes” plan.  I don’t know, I think it looks good on paper, but I’m not sure it would work in real life.

When it Rains, It Pours

Posted by apurplecow on June 16, 2009

I can’t believe it! I went over a month without a single sale. I went through all the stages of depression several times during that month. Then I got my first sale. The customer wanted 2 of something that I had one of. So we finalized the sale on Saturday. I was so excited.

Sunday I went to the store real quick. And I mean quick. When I got home I had 2 more sales. I think I will run to the store real quick at least twice a day. Do you think that will work everytime? Wouldn’t it be nice?

When it rains, it pours. I am from South Texas and believe me that is so true. But there is always a drought around the corner. I just gotta keep the good vibes going.

I am making an effort to blog at least 3 times a week. Sometimes it may be kinda disjointed and quick like this one. But there are a couple of subjects in my mind that I really want to share. Right now I am just having a hard time balancing everything.

I want the option to change the number of hours in a day. There are some days (like the past week) when I need the days to include about 30 to 36 hours. Then I could maybe make some progress.
