Who wouldn’t want to work from home? Clerk related activities, or clerical work as I call them, are easy to do and pay quite handsomely. Of course you have to find the job in order to start performing it and that is the difficult part. I understand that not everyone is as resourceful as me and some may struggle to start their own data entry business from home. It’s also important to remember that I am not really much of an authority on this subject insofar as I’m just typing blog posts every day to let you know how I feel about the whole home based data entry industry.

I call myself a data entry operator but I guess you could call me a virtual assistant if you wanted to. The word virtual just refers to the fact that I work online from home, and although I don’t assist anyone as such, I do assist myself by earning money so I can pay the rent and buy food. Working in a job based on the internet can be difficult insofar as it sometimes seems fake or surreal. Without leaving my house I enter data from my home office and, miraculously, my pay ends up in my bank account. I think my business is a really magical career opportunity.

I’ve got sore finger tips from typing. My eyes are red from staring into my computer monitor all day every day. My back aches because my chair is not quite up to scratch when it comes to occupational health and safety requirements. These are all symptoms of Data Entry Syndrome. I think I feel more wrecked at the end of the day now then when I drove forklifts for a living back in Sydney. I seriously need to make some changes around my home office if I want to succeed in my own home based data entry enterprise.

I can’t stop working. I seem to be staying up later every night. I’m typing articles until the wee hours of the morning and waking up a little worst for wear the next day. Is there any such thing as workaholics anonymous? If there is, I think I should book myself a seat straight away! I bet the whole room would be jam-packed with lonely data entry clerks who work from home. The scariest thing is, I can’t think of anything I’d rather be doing than composing blog posts, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is just so much data to enter and so little time.

If you have high expectations you leave yourself vulnerable and open to great disappointment. When I started this blog I thought it would lead to instant success and that didn’t eventuate. I’ve learned to not get too excited about the future when it comes to my data entry position. Sure, it’s a great job now but it may not end up being the fantastic long term career choice I thought it was going to be. Working from home can be fun but I have to keep reminding myself that things can change at any moment and I could be forced on to the street to die in the gutter.

Surprise, surprise, surprise, it’s Sunday morning and I’m sitting in front of my computer typing my life away. I’m finding it harder and harder to live up to my self-proclaimed title of Australia’s most handsome, home-based data entry clerk. I will soldier on though. One day I will hit the big time and be famous on the international data entry circuit. Everyone will think I’m an overnight success without seeing the years of hard work behind the scenes. It can be easy to be overlooked by people when you work from home. That’s why I always wear a fluorescent vest when I go to the shops.

One negative side to working from home on your own is the fact that you don’t have any co-workers to communicate with. You run the risk of becoming withdrawn and socially inept. When I’m having a particularly bad day I can’t share it with the other data entry operators working online because we are all toiling away in a virtual world, never meeting face to face. There are no co-workers to unite to help you face your cause head on. You are all alone, doing as good a job as possible with the tools nature provided you with on the day you were born.

I was recently diagnosed with data entry disorder. The doctor said there is no known cure and all I can do to ease the pain is type for lengthy periods every day and publish the resulting waffle on this blog. The symptoms of data entry disorder are not dissimilar to those of typing terrors, where the fingers of both hands are constantly poised in an expectant claw of anticipation, and tend to hover over a computer keyboard. When entering data becomes a problem it is very important to seek professional help as soon as possible.

I dreamt last night that I was still employed as a forklift driver in Sydney. It was a nightmare! I was dirty and cold and surrounded by grey, concrete walls and dark, steel scaffolding and shelving. I picked up a pallet from the racking and proceeded to cart it out of the building. Once outside I was expected to drive up a huge metal ramp and dump my load in a shipping container. The only thing was……the ramp seemed to go on forever. It went up and down, and around bends, and I was speeding. Suddenly I came to a stop in front of a big industrial safety sign which read, “Wrong Way, Go Back!” – I awoke and sat bolt upright in my bed.

You can always tell who the keenest data entry clerks are. Take me for example, here it is on a beautiful Sunday morning in Australia and I’m typing away on another blog post for publication. While most of them are going fishing or spending quality time with their families, my mind is focussed solely on accumulating wealth. I admit I have a one track mind but I’m not making any apologies. I’ll enter data from sunrise to sunset, seven days a week because I want to retire with big fat bank account and a stress-free future.
