Who else would understand cats at work, words on papertowels, words scribbled on walls. My customers smile and ask me silly things all the time. Okay, who got abducted this week. Being self emplyed solves work related problems. But alas, has problems all their own..like arseholes who show up to ruin my day. Life is such a grand adventure, waking up is a blast every single morning :)peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04915565997583564023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262683133067234581.post-76138147253974910962008-09-11T17:02:00.000-04:002008-09-11T17:02:00.000-04:00it's true, chumplet. i have met people, though, th...it's true, chumplet. i have met people, though, that just work for the money and don't love it. even though (i hope) most of them are filling up their lives with other joys, i'm still sad for them, since such a large part of your week is necessarily used up by your job. you might as well love it, right?moonrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06294151043419378509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262683133067234581.post-28702716924929064442008-09-11T16:59:00.000-04:002008-09-11T16:59:00.000-04:00That's the number one thing about being in the wor...That's the number one thing about being in the workforce.
