My first oDesk payment

I earned $42.03 on my first week of work on oDesk (I worked 4.67 hours this week). I’m working on a Ruby on Rails application. oDesk is awesome! Working from home or wherever you are, at the time you want, for as long as you want, and in what you want, well, that’s very enjoyable.

Bye bye, Ceiba Software House

Today was my last day working at Ceiba Software House. I decided to quit because I want to focus on studying. I feel like I’m wasting too much time on work and not doing the things that I really enjoy. Besides, I got quite bored working with big Java enterprise applications. That’s not enjoyable.

I will continue working part-time on Mentez, a small company that develops applications for social media. It’s very fun to work there and my workmates are awesome. Besides, we’ll code in Ruby!
