Suddenly , work drop back down . Instead of going for the usual 70 hours a week it just went down to 38. It resembles to the Australian dollar coming from 0.8 to 0.6 in a few years.
So i had to find things to do with my time. I still had another 32 hours to fill in. There were a few possibilities that i tried one by one. Sleeping was one of them, catching up with my body, but that didn’ last long. The end of this sleep trial came to end when i woke up at two , in the middle of the night and started to walk and creep in the middle of the night around the house.A second method was start drinking a bit more , but that didn’t last long too , after one night i had already enough from that trial, a imaginary joyride in the middle of the unit made sure of that.Another method was going out in the booming town in the middle of the dessert. But the inhabitants of that town made sure that i lost interest in that too. Going for a dance or drink and not to worry about your environment, is quit a problem. It’s a hunting ground in the true meaning of the word. Male predators who are fighting amongst them to become the supreme alpha. Female predators chasing each other to become the evil queen of Alice. And i’m not gonna talk about the chase between male - female. You definitely don’t want to know about that.Down to another one on my bucket list. Sport, naaahhh, was doing already enough body training during the day. Don’t want to become another muscles from a Belgian city.Eating, naaaahhh, to much dishes.After falling and standing up again, i found out i could buy a 3D-printer. That the prices of such a device where dropped a lot ,like everything else here, so i thought i ‘ll give it a try . It were anxious days, waiting till the printer would arrive. But it did. But to get the printer working i still had to work at the printer. Screws were loose, platform and extruders had to be placed at the correct height. Software had to be installed. So it took me another week to install the damned printer. But hé, i had enough spare time.
And yes, the first print sticked on the platform. And soon another and another. No time wasted as print-time. My first critters out of plastic came to life. And after a few days , i had a little collection of little funobjects. The worm, baby, joker, the slaves, diver and the speak, hear and see no evils all came to live. And still there are more joining the queue to be printed. Once a print is done, there is still a bit of work to do at the critter. A shame really, because if they would jump out the printer , straight to a finished product, it would have been an easy way to get my bank account growing. Of course if people would buy my critters, but now with all the hours of work to finish them, it becomes a product i can’t sell.
But anyway, there is more involved then having an idea , trying to bring it to the market and to make a living from it.
