the “i’m my only boss, and my boss is not an idiot” manifesto
Thank you, Rod Call, for this one:
I’m my only boss, and my boss is not an idiot Manifesto
1. If I want to listen to Johnny Cash during the “work day”, then I listen to Johnny Cash during the workday.
2. If I want to declare flip-flops and a t-shirt as “acceptable dress code”, then I declare flip-flops and t-shirts as acceptable dress code.
3. Since I lost patience for “micro-managing supervisors”, I am sure to not micro-manage nor become a “supervisor”.
4. I might miss a “steady paycheck”, but I don’t miss burnt coffee, fluorescent lighting, and zombie-like co-workers.
5. 8 – 5 with weekends and holidays off! Means nothing if at 5:01 and on weekends and holidays you feel like a prisoner who has been freed, only to know that you must return soon.

"Hugh's Daily Cartoon" Newsletter.
A new cartoon sent out every weekday morning to your inbox [RSS version here.].
A wee chuckle to start your day off right etc.
How true! May all rules be set by myself.
Nice cartoons, you got me reading
You know, with my insurance running out and sort of a grim rear-mirror view of fiscal 2006, this hit the spot exactly. Thank you, Rod. Thank you, Hugh.
8 – 5? WTF? I’m independently employed and work more now than I did at my corporate job. Being an IC is not an easy job.
