Title: One of those days...
Post by: 33ft on March 11, 2013, 19:20
So you are sitting there, housebound since Friday evening because all of your kids and the mrs are down with the flu.  Great weekend plans right?  Miraculously you continue to be fine, and meanwhile you are playing nurse to all yet you are slowly losing it mentally from a lack of sleep and 24-7 cartoons on the tv to entertain the kids while they recover from the couch...have I set the stage?
Occasionally when you aren't refilling drinks, or grabbing meds, you sneak upstairs to start a new file upload via the FTP, or to knock out some editing.  Don't get too excited, you are quickly interrupted for some other need. (I'm happy to do it, don't take me wrong)
Amongst what seems to be the 5th time I've watched Wreck It Ralph, I get to zone out and check the SS photo stats from the phone.  And then it hits you, what was already shaping up to be a good day download wise, someone decides to download several images at $90 a pop effectively already beating in one day how much you had accrued so far for the month.  I love stock for these days!
Thank you SS!

Now back to being Dr Dave ;), hope you guys are seeing positive results this month as well.

I'm sitting here, cursing my life since I have a horrible infection after a tooth removal. Never went through so much pain in my entire life. And for everything to be complete, I'm pissed because I had just 3 sales since last Thursday, after getting accepted more than 70 pics on SS. So I really wouldn't mind one of those 90$ sales  :D Can you send a bit of your luck to me?

Sorry to hear about the tooth and the pain.
Maybe it's the ole luck of the Irish with St Pattys approaching.
Hopefully some will come your way soon.

Congrats on the sales!  :)

I am sitting here in a similar situation except that I am the one out of commission (recovering from surgery) with nothing to do but watch TV and be on the computer, bored out of my mind.  Even the dog is sick of me, LOL.

Unfortunately, in my case, no big sales to brighten the day.  Yet.  Maybe later.....

Hope you get on your feet soon.  A little bit of time down can be refreshing, too much though is depressing.  I also noticed I almost read through every thread on here.  That's bad when you feel you run out of posts to keep your interest lol.

Sending good vibes to morning.light and Lisa...

I hope you both feel better very soon!  Rest up and be sure to allow others to take very good care of you.
