All this work is crushing my MyLot earnings!

It seems kind of silly, but I actually thought that this morning as I was waking up early to head to the Preschool in Berkeley. One of the regular teachers had to leave suddenly, so I've been called to work this whole week. Then I see my kid clients in the afternoon, and do my progress notes in the evening. What I actually miss is being as active here as I like to be. Some of the conversations that occur here are pretty funny. Others are informative. All make me feel like a part of a community. But I guess I'm a capitalist pig too, even if it's only Monopoly Money. I hope to be around more this weekend.

I had a big "argument" at lunch today with the girl in the foreground in the picture. But she got over it in about 5 minutes and was in my lap for our early afternoon religious service.

@Bluedoll I think they learn a lot of what they learn by modeling (imitating) the people they love.

I love to play Monopoly. At least, I loved it when I was a kid. All those properties! Remember to water the plants before you leave for work

It was undoubtedly one of the greatest board games every devised, but sadly rarely seen these days.

I have a second right now, but still have a kid client (brief meeting) and music gig ahead of me. Maybe late tonight I'll be able to sip some Scotch and do a bit of reading and writing.

Actually, I think earnings are down overall at the moment, not just due to you being busy.

@TheHorse Yes, earnings seem to be lower than they have been at the moment, given the amount of notifications I'm getting. However, as we don't know how the earnings are calculated, it's hard to judge properly.

I can't really tell. I made only a penny last night as I slept, which is below my norm, but my young friend and child laborer was visiting me for much of the early evening, so I wasn't able to do much reading or commenting.

@egdcltd Could be. Last night was weird. One penny, in spite of dozens of comments. And today was a bit weird too. My bank was frozen for awhile late in the afternoon. But the system usually "self-adjusts."

I know. This is one of those "kind of" tongue-in-cheek posts. I make $350 or so and fret about being 20 cents under my "average" on MyLot for four straight days.

@Jessicalynnt Today (Monday) is a busy one for me. I worked at the preschool this morning, starting at 8:30 AM. Then I did some paperwork around my afternoon clients. I still have to see an afternoon client and then teach a 7-10 Into to Psychology class. By later tonight, I will probably need a Scotch (straight up).

but it must be fun to work in the preschool glad its a nice place I saw a video of a preschool where the kids were running wild and several bigger kids were bullying a small girl.I doubt many pre schools would be like that.

Where was this? If two of our kids get into an argument, a teacher is there to help them resolve it, if necessary.

@jaboUK I am DONE for now! Maybe I'll do one of my cryptic posts about the gig. You know, like how "the site that will not be named" earned me $50.02 today. All I have to do this weekend is submit one progress note and enter some grades from my Monday evening class. And play another blasted gig on Sunday.
