I Crashed My Friend's Lotus

Notes from retirement….

Well, I’d hung up the micro-job boots but Heather who lives in the same block as Mike, happened to spot a certain breakfast bar and was rather keen on having one in her flat (the layout is similar). Her enthusiasm was fantastic, so I was happy to come out of retirement for one final job…

Micro-job man party!

Yes, the end of a mini-era called for a party, with ex-Lotus owner -- Mark -- as guest of honour:

I’VE DONE IT!!!! NO MORE CRASHED LOTUS DEBT!

lotusadmin — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 20:58:35 +0000

Yes, on the same day that I find I shall be starting a new job next week, thanks to some cash for website support, I have completed the Crashed Lotus campaign….

Just in time really with the party this Sat to thank all the people who have employed me in my alter ego as Micro-job man!

Time for one more web video…..

Chainsaw wood massacre + pig balls

A cold wintry Wednesday saw the Crashed Lotus debt shiver down to £175.93 with a bit of a massacre to boot:

Having chainsawed my way through loads of logs, I then ended up herding pigs…as you do….

Wedding & Toastmaster (#57+#58)

Will you be a toastmaster at my 30th Birthday (masked ball) in 2011?

Not the craziest micro-job in the world, but it’s fairly loco to be advanced booked for a 2011 micro-job. Still it gives me plenty of time to work out how to blend a Venetian-style mask with the garb donned by this chap:

I shall be copying this chap... (minus lake)

While you’re at it, here’s a wedding video to edit…. yes.. Vicky wins the award for best selection of eclectic Micro-jobs. Quite what the prize will be, I don’t know…perhaps the happy thought that the blog now contains a picture of an unnamed man. Even his website – http://www.thelakestoastmaster.com doesn’t have his name, perhaps part of the toastmaster code of conduct!? I clearly have much to learn…

Such randomness means only £205.93 to go!!!

Reiki (#53-56)

Just as the Crashed Lotus project was coming to an end, a restructure at work saw me seeking new opportunities in the brave uncertain world of redundancy. My soon to be ex-work colleagues enquired: “Are you now Macro-job man then!!?” Not yet, so it was time to crack on and perhaps get a bit of order and tranquility into my life…

So, a Reiki website was just the chill out job and so the counter ticks down to… £275.93

Breakfast bar (#52)

lotusadmin — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 17:52:48 +0000

Where can Mike eat his breakfast? Make cocktails?

The answer was nowhere, so it was time for Micro-job man to leap into action! A full day’s hard graft later and all the problems have been solved! Such industriousness means only £415.93 to go before the £0 mark!

Stripping (#51)

lotusadmin — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 15:58:34 +0000

With some t-shirt off steamy action and a tip from the lodger at the house of the sh#t job, only £485.93 to go!!!

Really in the sh#t! (#50)

Furniture and international renewable energy….

lotusadmin — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 23:27:06 +0000

No sooner had I put the pedal to the carpet in the Red Fiesta, than it was time for a quick yarn with my friend Steve. He knows Andrew of furniture restoration fame and could pass on the happy news that thanks to the micro-jobbing website, he’d had his first big job… top news!

High on that news, with some slate cash in the bank, it was time to Skype Portugal… yes, MICRO-JOBBING HAS GONE INTERNATIONAL! Obviously, dealing with foreigners from foreign lands, the website cash was up-front and I can announce that thanks to such mid-week industriousness… the crashed Lotus debt is now only…
