Closing out an untraditional week
It's been a very weird week for me. Besides the fact that I have been sick with Covid, I'm just not used to taking this much time off from work. It actually has me a bit agitated and edgy. Which is sad, because I should really be resting and trying to get better. Today is my fourth day off from work and while I finally feeling much better, I also have to admit that I have been replying to emails and talking to vendors all through the week.
Should I really need to take that time off if I am working? Sure, it isn't a full 8 to 9 hour day that I am putting in, there were some naps here and there, but I'm still putting the time in that I should be using to rest. The problem is, I know what I will be coming back to if I don't keep up on those emails and issues.
With remote access and a tech on site, there is little doubt I could do 90% of my job from home, but I prefer to be in my office. It is a place I feel comfortable and in control. It's my domain and I honestly love it.
I think part of me is just annoyed that I have to use PTO days that I might want to use for something else later. It seems like such a waste to me, but I also don't want to get anyone else sick. After the last week, I wouldn't wish this virus on anyone.
It is time again for another Finance Friday/Friday Finance. This is a series I started where I talk about random bits of financial stuff that I have seen, gathered, or experienced during the week. I hope as a reader you find it informational, entertaining, or both. I also hope it can generate some good discussion and edify the community.
As much as I wanted to see Hive drop some more, it has been nice to see the price moving in a positive direction. I still have my buys in place and if it drops back to previous levels due to a market wide pullback, I am not going to complain. It would have been cool to pick up some more cheap Hive though.
Holozing
I finally hit my @holozing target of having 500K ZING tokens staked. That means I went into my wallet the other day and I pulled back my delegation from 20,000 HP to 5000 HP. I don't know if that is the smart move, but it's what I am doing. I know there is always going to be that "I need to hold more" mentality, but I am hoping 500K is enough to give me a good experience when the game finally launches.
As for the 15K remaining HP, I plan on rolling 5K of that into my @bro-fi delegation, and the other 10K will return to my account to get my vote back up where it belongs. Those of you who get comment votes from me will hopefully see a difference.
Hamster Kombat
I finally found out how many tokens I am going to get for participating in the Hamster Kombat Telegram Tapper game that was all the rage a couple of months ago. It turns out, all my efforts earned me an airdrop of about 450 tokens. The last time I checked the price, that amounts to about $3.90 USD.
The price only opened around $.012 and I knew it was going to tank as soon as people could pull their tokens out and sell them. I wonder if anyone ended up becoming a millionaire from Hamster Kombat. In my opinion, the return definitely wasn't worth the time that I put into the game. Apparently, this was only season 1 and there will be more seasons, but I'm probably going to pass at this point.
Do your own research of course!
Splinterlands
I don't know what rock I have living under lately, but the other day I was in Splinterlands playing some brawls and I noticed some new colors showing up in my cards.
People who pay more attention than me will probably tell me that this has been around for a long time now, but I noticed that the mana numbers of cards now turn red if you don't have enough mana left to play them. That's pretty awesome in my opinion. Especially with so many cards to choose from. I find it hard to juggle all of the things I need to keep track of in the small window of time the allow you. This is game changing in that respect.
You might argue, if it is so game changing, why didn't you notice it earlier and I can see your point. Let's just say, I get distracted very easily!
I'm pretty excited about this though. It has already help me speed up my selection in rounds and helped me avoid getting stuck just picking cards because my time is running out. Tactically, I should be a better player now. We will see....
That's all I have for this short post today. Although I am feeling better, I still find myself getting quickly fatigued and I have to take moment and just close my eyes for a bit. Hopefully by next week I will be at least back to 80%.
I hope everyone has an awesome weekend!

Thank you!
Best BOZZ to keep us Update on personal ref. Thanks man ✊🏻⚡
My pleasure!
Four days off work sounds pretty serious, hope you get better very soon.
I probably could have went in today, but I kind of figured what's the point. May as well just stay home and give myself the weekend to get back to 100%.
I understand completely the being home frustration. I was more productive at the office. COVID sucks, when I had it (of course fully vaccinated which nearly killed me and forced me onto disability) I tested positive for weeks even after symptoms subsided. I hope you feel better!
Thanks, I appreciate it. It's definitely been an experience!

Get well soon. I had a look at your HE wallet and you have a lot more in there than I do. I'm more of a HP maximalist even if it means missing out on some earnings.
I saw mention of the hamster thing, but never looked at it. Seems I didn't miss out on much. These things tend to get hyped up to make a very few people some real money.
I'm guessing there were some people who did really well with Hamster, but they likely dumped right away. I think there are some good secondary options on HE, so I don't mind investing in them.
Did not know people still get covid, even now. But ig i was wrong.
Hope you get better soon!

Yeah apparently so. Thank you!

Yeah, but I almost feel like that is worse than the actual Covid is. The side effects are brutal. I'm questioning my decision to get the prescription now.
Awww....
I really hope that you will feel better, @bozz !

Sorry to hear about the covid. I'm glad you are feeling better.
Thanks!
Totally get how you feel about taking PTO, especially when you’re used to being on top of things. I’ve been in that situation too where I don’t want to feel like I’m missing out or falling behind, even when I should be resting. But taking care of yourself is definitely more important in the long run.
It really is. Sadly many people don't realize that until it is too late!
It’s weird to rest when you feel like there’s so much to keep up with. I’ve been sick too and tried to keep up with everything, but it’s honestly harder than I thought. I’ve also been into those games you mentioned, like Splinterlands.
Yeah, I think a lot of times we push too hard and we end up putting ourselves behind. If I had taken Tuesday off I could have probably went back to work on Friday.
Love the first pic. Probably wise to stay off if you're sick whether it's covid or any other bug. Hope you feel better
Thanks! We have had some really amazing sunsets here lately! It actually got even better after that, but I missed it.
No pic so it didn't happen 😜 haha nah that's often the case
Haha yeah, I did get some the next night....
Healing thoughts your way. I haven't had covid yet, and hope I never get it. If I get it I'll probably end up on a vent with my other health challenges.
I understand about working from home. I was a remote worker in my last years of employment. It had its good and bad. I missed the socialization, but was much more productive.
I don't feel like I am as productive at home because I am busy doing other things like swapping out the laundry etc. I hope you never get it as well!
Good luck!

Hope you’re feeling better man! It sucks getting sick but it’s important to rest. I’ve been there though where we have the emails waiting and we can at least get the important ones out and filter the junk out.
It’s been a long time since I’ve logged into Splinterlands, that change sounds cool.
I'm significantly better now. I even ventured out of the house today and went to the meat market. It's been a tough week, but I am glad it is almost over.
Hamster Kombat Is a game on TON blockchain and playable with telegram?
Yes.

Sounds like you could use a bit more rest instead of worrying about work :) What are the days you have to take exactly? I mean I don't know the term here .. are these sick leave days or your holidays? I assume if you're sick you can call in sick? Just curious, hope you don't mind me asking :)
Get well soon!
I get something like 27 PTO days per year. They are a catch all so either sick or vacation. When they are done, I don't get paid anymore. The ones I don't use, I get 3/4 of my daily wage paid at the end of the year for them, so I like to leave some unused as a bit of a bonus.
Oh ok got it, all in one days.. I didn't realize that was a thing. But I have to say, it's been forever since I worked on payroll and it's probably different here in Spain as well as back then in Hungary too.
Nice to have a little bonus at the end of the year for sure. Hopefully you will feel better soon!
I'm probably back to 90% better now. Just trying to shake off the Covid fog now. Sometimes I wish I had separate PTO and sick days, but it's honestly pretty rare that I get this sick.
