What’s keeping me busy lately aside from being too lazy is that I’m doing some part time tasks to earn me some money. But as of this point, I really hated myself for accepting something that is beyond disbelief. Hypothetically speaking, let’s just say that I normally average getting paid to write 300 words for a dollar. To me, this is quite cheap since I have offers of 100 words at 1 dollar. But, I took the task and accepted it so that I can learn the trade and master the art of writing.

However, earlier, a friend phones and asks for my help in writing 400-500 words at half the price. Meaning, $0.50. Who am I to refuse the offer? At the end of the day, I should be thankful that I’m earning the slightest amount of money, right? But I don’t feel happy. Nor do I feel satisfied with the deal I made. I’m such a fool for allowing myself to fall into this pit hole. I’ve originally finished the article at 500 words. But since I didn’t tackle all of what was asked, I need to add more to it as what the friend suggested. It was really impossible to keep it at 500 considering the information they were asking. And so the 500 words became 1,017 words. Imagine that? And I have yet to finish another task. Hopefully this will be the last. I really have a hard time saying “No” to people. When an opportunity that pays like this is offered to me again, I hope I remember to strongly decline the offer. As for now, I’m screwed. Tsk Tsk Tsk

I hope I can find a way to politely refuse this so that I don’t have to work on the second task. I have ran out of ideas. Is it still possible to decline the 2nd task? I need divine intervention. (*sigh*)
