When Things Go Really Wrong

I am trying hard to get my PC organized and so far, I have been glad to find some articles gathering dust which I can rewrite and use for different sites. So I am busy everyday writing and posting. Today I put in 3 more bids at Upwork and founds it very odd that Textbroker hardly had anything on offer but I look every day anyway. Then I figured I would post some more articles on Virily and when I got there they had changed the site and now we have to figure out what is what with dropdown menus and all. The one thing that was missing was the CREATE button which we used to post articles. Then I noticed that they had added NEW which I know to click on other sites when I want to post. So I clicked on it and it brought me to the home page but on the tab it said CREATE. Finally, I decided to give up for today and that I was not going to make any additional pennies and could be very happy that myLot sent me my payment so at least I can build up my pot in PayPal.
My sentiments about this day are exactly like in the song and that is about how I feel when I get frustrated – shout, shout knock yourself out. It also reminded me of my late husband’s humor. When I would complain after a long day and sometimes our conversation went as follows:
Do we have a rope?
What do you want a rope for?
I figure it would be easier just to hang myself.
Did you get any payments today?
That is why I want to just end it all since no money is coming in anyway.
Well, you know you have to get paid before we can afford to go and buy a rope.
You always look at things so logically.
And if I didn’t you’d probably run outside cut down the laundry line, get all the clean clothes dirty, and then realize you didn’t want to end it all anyway.
By that time I am already laughing and I have calmed down greatly and then we would sit down and perhaps have some cold beer just to get things back into perspective but he never gave in to my crazy whims. He knew it would pass once I calmed down. Lol, It is good to remember this all now because when my nerves start rising I know to just listen and remember his voice of reason.

I remember this song. Thanks for the "heads-up" on Virily. If I ever go back, I'll know what to expect! Hope your day went better than it was. Have a great Thursday.

@Janet357 Right now I am between bids. I go there several times a week and check the listings and then put in job bids but so far no nibble. I do have a cover letter and I provide them with sample work

Yes, but none of them are my posts and if nothing moves by November I will be forced to make a very hard decision I need every bit of money coming in and I cannot afford to close any accounts and besides they are enjoyable and also calm me @CarolDM

I am prone to panic, myself. I need Textbroker to be available, but it is not, until I verify. I started there before they had verification. I uploaded my ID, turns out it is expired. Renewed my driver's license, but it may be up to sixty days until I have my hard copy and can again upload it to textbroker, and I understand it takes about two weeks after that to get verified. Sheesh. We need a sign "Keep Calm and myLot On"

That conversation made me laugh. He sounds like he was a wonderful person with a great sense of humor. He knew how to make you feel better and how to make you laugh. That is such a wonderful thing to have in a relationship.

Thank you for letting me know about Virily. Your late husband was funny. I do not blame you for getting frustrated.
