Blog: Frustrated Businessman

Well, what a day. My feet haven't touched the ground today at all. Non stop all day. Had to go out 3 times today, and it's now 5.45pm and I'm hurriedly writing this post before I leave the house AGAIN for a 12 hour nightshift in Kings Lynn.

My daughter missed the bus to the College of West Anglia this morning so I had to take her there. Can't remember what time I got back, but was only in the house for about half hour and I had to go out again. Then I had to go to the bank this afternoon to transfer cash from my wages to the business account to meet some bills.

Could have done this this morning, but I forgot to take ID with me so I couldn't transfer money out of my account over the counter, and had to come back home without going to the bank. What a prat!

I've managed to squeeze in some advertising using my safelist submitter (a piece of software that sends the same ad out to 1,700 safelist groups just by clicking send) so hopefully I'll generate a couple of enquiries today.

Used the software yesterday as well but only got 6 page views according to the web page counter, no sales at all. Wednesdays are usually quiet, but can be good on rare occasions.

So, yes, I'm stressed out again. Today has just flown by, and I have a problem if I think I haven't used the day properly. The day was spoilt anyway as soon as I woke up this morning because I realised that I'm at work tonight, and working where I work naturally puts a dampner on any day.

I've done the yearly budget as well since I last posted, and it's as bad as I thought it was going to be. I'm on a basic wage of £384 weekly, making £19,968 per year, but I need £28,051.68 NETT to pay everything properly. Which means I need to earn £34,503.60 over the next 12 months, just to stay where I am. And that doesn't include life insurance or pensions either. So, I'm £14,535.60 short just to exist.

Or, £279.53 short every week. How do other people make ends meet? I'd love to know. It seems most of the time I'm the only one struggling. Not that that's the whole problem - it's just that this situation has no end in sight - and that's really bad.

Until tomorrow

Paul
