A Self-Employed Person’s Holiday Calendar
It’s a new year. A time to start anew. A time to start looking at the upcoming 365 days and wonder “when the hell am I going to be able to get away from the boss?” As I’m self employed and my boss is a jerk, I feel for you. (apologies if Chaka Khan is now in your head) One of the many stereotypes of the self-employed is “the ability to control your schedule.” [Yet those W-2 folk on a salary don’t understand that your calendar is actually dictated by your clients’ needs and slow/busy seasons, but let’s keep them thinking we can magically control EVERYTHING!] So I decided that since I can,…
LinkedIn: Proving High School Never Ends since 2013.
Wasn’t all of this stuff supposed to end on prom night? Prom was the final time we, as a group of people growing up, would vote for who we thought was the most popular of all. We’d allow them to trance around during an S Club 7 song wearing a plastic sash and a cheap crown that was just a glorified paper Burger King crown. And that’d be it. No more.

LET ME BUY WHAT I WANT, THEN I’LL WATCH YOUR SHOW. Let me explain. Thanks to technology, I can…
The amount of the federal budget Congress has fixed in coffee terms…
President Obama and Congress are currently in the middle of preventing America from taking a ride on the Fiscal Cliff, the new man-made, preventable thrill ride all 300+ million of us Americans might be, um, “enjoying” if they don’t sit down, grow up and act like adults. So far, the numbers coming out of the negotiations are quite… how do I put this… low. Currently, according to numbers from CNBC, the deal will raise $600 billion in new revenue in 10 years. Let’s play my new favorite game show… FUN WITH MATH!!! *grabs the ‘ol trusty TI-83 calculator from 8th grade* $600 billion in revenue over 10 years. That’s $60 billion…
My Christmas Wish for YOU…
