Freelance Fantasy Land
by
I’ve been struggling with motivation lately which to many working ‘regular’ jobs seems pretty silly. I mean I work at home, I can have lunch with my kid and I ride my bike Friday afternoon’s.

Are you selling the dream or a feature list?

Stuck
by
I watched Horrible Bosses last night. The premise is that these 3 guys have terrible bosses and that they are ‘stuck’ in their jobs. They have to put up with all this crap for their bosses and have no place to turn but stick with that job. That is a load of bullshit If you…
