The days are all bleeding into one another. Wake up; bus ride; office job; bus ride; dinner; web job; television, video games, or reading; sleep.
I think I spend more working time on my ten-hour-a-week web job than I do on my forty-hour-a-week office job. It helps that the web job is far more interesting and that my time is spent creating a tangible (if digital) product that I can be proud of when it’s done. At the office job, lately I’ve been compiling keyword lists full of hundreds of words that mean very little to me. I use tools to rank them and narrow them down. Some day, we’ll try to “optimize” our site for these keywords, in the hopes that Google will rank us more favorably. I’ll be long gone before any progress is made on that front–if any progress is ever made. And even if it is–say we jump from the second page to the first page on a search for “finance”–was it because of anything I did?
It’s impossible to say. Maybe that’s why I don’t give this job much attention.
