My "work at home" job that's not really at home.

I bring along my work with me. Called it haggardness but I have to.
I live long from my present work that takes me 2hours driving/ jeepney ride from there to here at the office. Sometimes I'm being called as NPA (No Permaent Address) but it's so funny it really exists. I do have a mailing address though but I seldomly get mail and I'm staying there every week for merely 2-3 hours just to take a bath or sip a coffee while fixing things up. And usually; I'm just getting my clothes and laundry there and that's it.
But I'm proud. My friends and coworkers find it disturbing at first but suddenly; as due to poverty growing in our country; they do understand my grounds. I want a house; working upon it and staying independent slicing up every valuable time that I have accomplishing task, delegating work, making the mosts of the twenty-four hour period in a day. And yes; the only time I did relaxed for awhile was yesterday which is given: it was my birthday. (whereas some part of the day I have to work because it is not a complete excuse not to earn)
Sharing this idea takes me courage. Reason is to inspire others; not to be stuck at home doing pert-time but not maximizing the most of their time. Everyone has their own pace; that's for a fact. But time is so precious we cannot move it back if lost. make the most of your resources, contacts or anything that what we have so far. Being resourcefulness helps. Work hard (and smart) and you'll get what you deserve.

Yeah. Now, I am telling my sister that she should take part time jobs to make the most of her summer. She's eighteen years old and still a student. I told her because most of the time she's just playing games online and surfing the internet. I told her to get an online job if not a part time job. I know she can do it. I hope she can be more responsible.

Yes; I argree... if that's going to be the case. Insted of playing games online; she should spend her time wisely. It's better to be productive everyday than spending time doing nothing or unvaluable. I'm not against online games since it's also a business-wise earning for bigger companies but there are also "play-to-earn" sites. I'm using grabagold.com and convert it into load or money.

Yeah there is. In the Philippines; grabagold.com is powered by Globe telecom. Im using it to earn my load/ calling minutes for my cellphone. Hahaha... called it crazy but I once sell extra load earned from grabagold to Globe users online and workmates. Now that's what you've called "enjoyable"!

That's what we call, "The telecommuting type of work". It is now becoming popular, not only here in the Philippines, but in most parts of the world. Companies and employers are getting used to this idea, more and more employers now allowed such kind of work with their employees.
Although this is starting to become popular here in the Philippines (I know you're from the Philippines because I see in your post the word "jeepney" LOL), a vast majority of workers here are not yet open to this kind of idea due to lack of courage or lack of knowledge how this is being done and what are the arrangements. I admire you for being such a forward thinker, that separates you apart from the rest, and I hope you find the success you are dearly yearning to have.

Yup. One major factor is these companies are more concern about having their employees stay in their office working rather than checking in thier productivity. Filipinoes are popular for being resourceful or "madiskarte" but at some point they're being discourage by some who would rather have fixed rate in a day than checking for more opportunity that awaits for them.
"Telecommuting type of work" is normal in the US. One employee has 2-3 jobs in a day to support all of their necessities at home or for whatever personal needs it may be. They have a higher standards of living and can't settle for anything else. I guess us here in the country has enough contentment; they just settle for a typical 9-5 job.
