Damn..I love working for myself!
Edited on Fri May-13-05 09:46 AM by BlueJazz
After reading the Post about the Email sent to Employees (from the IT Guy) it brought to mind why I left the Corporate world and decided to work for myself.

Being an IT person and Tech (MSCE and all that crap) It makes life SO much easier to be a consultant and free-lance tech.
I make about the same money, I can sleep in just about anytime I want..I don't have to put up with Corporate Emails that Threaten your Job or happiness or a Boss that has a "Hitler complex" or any of the workplace bullshit that we all have been through.
Oh..True..I do encounter pricks once in a while but since I know that after the job is done, I don't have to see them anymore... (at least until they call again)... I deal with it easily.

Again..After reading that "Corporate IT bullshit" Post..I feel I'm a Lucky Man. :)

1. Same here. My business is in development.
I'm going out on a limb here without steady pay, but damn, I love not reading emails from schmucks threatening my livlihood.

2. Amen brutha... Realtor here.. preach on!
Realtors are independent contractors in my state. I'm so glad i'm my own boss. Plus I get to work on the oceanfront and wear flip flops, shorts and hawaiian shirts as work attire.

Not to mention stare at bikinis all day from my office. I love perks!
