Opportunity Lost.

I am a member of the pay-you-to-blog site SocialSpark and I was really disappointed because I couldn't complete the first opportunity they gave me. It was a post about this scary movie and I was excited to write about it (being a movie buff and all). Unfortunately, I had no time.

I usually get up at around 5am to make it to my 6-2 shift in the hospital. So when I woke up this morning, I found an email sent to me at around 1am stating that I have 12 hours to complete the post or else I forfeit my slot. So there I was, getting ready for work and thinking of what to write at the same time. As you might have guessed, I failed to complete the minimum of 200 words for the post. I left for work at around 5:40am, almost got late, and still didn't finish the sponsored post I was tasked to write.

I was thinking about it all day, getting pissed at myself because I could have gotten up at 4:30am to check my email. And since I didn't expect any mails at that time, I tried to get a few more minutes of sleep not knowing that an opportunity had been given to me. And that cost me around $9.35. I'm hoping that I don't get a bad review from the site and they give me more opportunities in the near future.
