Items of Note Regarding My First Week of Self-Employment

I think I’m just as amazed as you people probably are that I actually worked a solid 40 hours. More, if you count the time I spent on my portfolio. Read more for observed positives and negatives after one week.

Mike Rowe: We are engaged in a civil war on work.

What do you do?

For a living, that is. What’s your day-to-day like? I know all of you, but I can’t say I have an idea what you spend all your days doing.

Sammy tells a story

Had this sitting in an IM window when I got back from lunch:

12:25:30 PM Sammy B: We had to draw pictures of a bisected onion today.
12:25:44 PM Sammy B: When I was finished drawing mine, I realized the center of it looked kinda like a vagina.
12:25:52 PM Sammy B: I disposed of the worksheet immediately.

I hate Piano Man, 102.9 WMGK

The song used to be a lot of fun, I’ll admit. But years of overplaying has soured me on it. So this week, they’re expanding our office and there’s a huge whole in the wall behind my desk covered with thin plastic which hides the construction and construction workers doing said construction. These construction workers apparently love the local classic rock station 102.9 WMGK and are not aware of the rather weak acoustic properties of a thin sheet of plastic.

I work for the government.

Awful. I know. But I have my reasons. The absolutely ridiculous volume of training they force me to complete year in and year out is definitely not among them, however. Until now.
