Nothing says Freedom

Nothing says Freedom like nothing else to lose Janis Joplin lyric I believe but sometimes these hard financial times seem to hit me in other more subtle ways. Example the convo with my online friend Her: I am eating flakes of corn Me: wth? Her: They are like generic Corn Flakes Me: OH! Like Happy Os? Her: Right just like that I think if I put enough sugar on them they will be fine Yup Like Bob Dylan sang.... These times..... They are a changing

I dont remember it line for line but basically it is all Who cares Pay ME! But...... Did you know..... When bill collectors call If you hesitate.......... They start to negotiate Things like.... You can post date the check.... Then they say oh it cost such and such for the pay by check fee Hesitate again they waive it...... Hesitate some more they will waive the late fee.... hmm isnt that nice to know :)

Ten Signs to Quit

It has been over a year since I quit my day job and went with my at home business and I have never been happier. I like to joke that I quit my job a year before I left which is not fair to my past employer. Here are 10 Signs that you should quit your day job. You visualize sticking a pencil in the eye of a coworker every time you hear her fake booming laugh You thow quarters in the mens urinal just to see them disapeer within an hour You come in a half hour late take an extra half hour during lunch and leave an hour early You secretly hope each summons to the bosses office is your dismissal You never check your voice mail You never read your email You start throwing things away rather than file them and wonder when anyone will notice (sadly no one does) You havent done your job properly in so long you have to ring tech support because you forgot your log ins You dont know a coworker was on a two week vacation until they bring in pictures. You cry on Mondays. If any ...

Broke Stupid and Tired

Broke I was broke a couple weeks ago. This happens more often than not every few months or so and is normally not a big crisis. Me being so clever with no sentimental feelings holding me back whatsoever, list my possessions I am bored with on eBay Since liquid cash is the goal at the moment I ruthlessly undercut all current auctions and sale them all quickly with buy it now. Stupid I forgot I did all my shipping from my former job My former job that had lovely boxes galore, a ups shipping center and packing material of various sorts and sizes , all at my disposal I also had a running tab on shipping fees and it was all priced at cost. Being the spontaneous sort I am (stupid), I had quit my long term job with no notice last month. I don’t think they will allow me the luxury of that shipping area any more Tired I am exhausted. I have run around for last week on a scavenge hunt for boxes and packing tape and cheaper shipping solutions. Lugging items and boxes into commercial places and tr...

Honestly, I am not that Popular

So my sweet friend nominated me for a blog award. The honest scrap award located here She also challenged me to do the same to 7 others. The thing is list 10 honest AND interesting things about yourself. We all know lists are no problem. I adore lists. The other requirement? Honesty? Easy enough. Interesting? That could be tricky. I never claimed I was interesting and quite frankly I bore myself silly at times. Last thing nominate 7 others for it. I just said I was honest and uninteresting, it should come as no suprise I dont have seven friends. Since I am one to never leave a task that can be done half arsed, as shown here , I will list seven instead. 1. I can never wear the same pair of pantyhose twice. 2. I have wild crazy elaborate daydreams. 3. I have always felt I was meant to do something great in my life. 4. I have lived in the same house for 18 years because I am too lazy to move 5. I worry about my daughter a lot and hope she is happy. 6. I never want to live alone. 7. I car...
