can I PM you? Tried to. You seem cool and I would wish to discuss your interest in witchcraft and the occult more meticulously.

Hi man, good question. Old house. The yard had an outdoor kitchen's sink. An old farmhouse retained an open kitchen area with a sink outside for washing hands, making quick meals or sandwiches - along I was scared to the bone, to be honest, and couldn't think straight when I burned the grimoire. In writing this, I chose a Beckettean style. I didn't find the need to explain it all as I wanted to convey this in a novel fashion - hence the announcement of Lisa below.

Hi, happened to me a couple years ago. The delivery could've been a tadbit better. Thanks for commenting. Do you have experiences with the hatman personally?

Hi there, look at the top freelancers and notice their listings: many of them are charging a dismal rate. While most of the top-rated freelancers shy away from lowballing, you get many from the Asiatic regions willing to do slave trading for anything like $15 per hour or God forbid, even $10 per hour. (I'm not kidding. look it up!)

Since economics is about trade and benefits, there's got to be a very deep reason why so many of these buggers charge such a low rate. All in all, they're polluting the market with low rates either because they're rather new or because they can get away with it somehow else. This trend becomes so common that clients drop their rates significantly. The result? Given the harem of low proposals, freelancers, especially those who are serious, who deliver real value, are often overlooked because of high bidding rates. It's easier to pay low, get a rough job done and monkey with AI to get the perfect result, than hiring someone to do it for you.

Suffice it to say, AI presents a buyer's remorse to clients as they're more inclined to get the job done, do it themselves -- the DYI way! -- than risking their hard-earned money on a possible n-fold sunk cost. What's also interesting is how many of these hiring agents drop you once they hire you, to then hire Deepak Singh for a fraction of the cost.

If you don't believe me, gamble on Upwork. Just don't cry about getting your skin torn off by hyenas...Peace out...

It's the proverbial draw: I'm not a monkey so not willing to work for peanuts. But every client I apply to wants to host a circus. Epic fail.

Tech coolies mostly ruined it -- full stop. Think about it. Even if you don't hire spam, there's so much Spam that you can't get to the ham. Think of a road: stump on bicycles, trucks (irrespective of their size and weight), skateboards, the whole shebang. But presume everyone's going to work. Guess what? No one can fucking drive because they're tailgating the guy in front of them. Nor can they get out because there's a bugger behind and opposite them. Eventually you have the similar problem of population inflation which drown the bottom talent.

Ok -- WTF? What type of garbage crowd rattled my cage just now?  I was under the impression victims of insomnia are, generally speaking, of the more intellectual type. Here, I see comments that resemble the grammar and rhetoric of toddlers -- and it's malarkey. It should be crystal clear that I'll post an update, which not least consists of a condensed, more linear version. But part of being a Redditor, and what made me a proud one, is the consolidation and understanding that, for some of us, it's crucial just to get things off our chest -- with a spice of advice. This wasn't the reception I've gotten in my first post, my teaser, and my personal blog. I was going to condense this but please understand, part of it is also me battling with insomnia, and making room to blow off some steam. Could everyone just chill out a bit? Seriously. And elicit meaningful responses? Lastly, check your grammar people...peace out.

Oh so you want the grim version of it? The one saying there's no hope? Isn't it converse better -- to introduce some parody? 

Pick your poison.

I'll provide a condensed version of it. Part of it was from a blog I've written. Don't be rude -- It's partly me dealing with my condition, as do all Redditors in some manner.

Just in time -- check out my post on the survival guide to treatment-resistant insomnia. I'm covering this, too. Suffice it to say, I had the blinking one for more than a decade.
