Work

[Rozzlyn]

you already know my answer.

[Msterbeau]

I'd never do anything if I worked for myself... :whistling

Cool new avatar Roz. =)

If you can work for yourself and make decent cash great. Unfortunately the world usually doesn't work that way. Most especailly not in this country (go fig)

[Fierce Critter]

I can work for myself only because I have a husband who keeps a "regular" job that includes medical insurance.

Without that, I'd be a corporate slave like many others.

Someday, I hope Jon's carving skills can enable him to stay home right alongside me.

[Onyx]

I do both actually. The wage-slaving monkey job gives me health insurance and a bit of paid vacation and security. The side jobs give me enough so I can pay my bills on time, most of the time. I'm usually exhausted but that's the breaks.

[Paper Hearts]

In reality, I do niether.

[Lilith]

For the most part of my life i have been a slave, but that has ended, well atleast in the making a living part.

I got burned out from the late night/ early morning quiting times, drinking and asshole drunks, not to mention with summer here, making $35 a night ( for an 8 hour shift) on two nights a week was just not enough to over look the other issues and there was allot of other issues at home and at work.

So i am not doing that any more, I hate to say it but i am getting too damn old to run a house hold on 2-4 hours of sleep after i worked all damn night for $35.

I am now an ebay seller and plan to coninue. I must point out that i have successfully made more $ selling on ebay in one week then i had made all month working the waitress Job. Hell i made more $ at my yard sale, in three days, then i made at work all month.

You need a both catagory. I work at a regular job for steady income and pay my child support. I do side jobs for extra cash. Hell, I got paid $200 on Sunday for typing 9 charactors on someones PC.

[DarkVampire]

<Sarcasm>I like being a slave to the system.</Sarcasm>

Would be nice if writers made a decent amount of money than I might become more motivated to get my writings published.

[Guest Game of Chance]

What if the answer is both...I get compensated based on my efforts

lol...is that the Taoist answer or what?

[saechalyn]

I work for an organization whose mission and work I really believe in. So while there are things that frustrate me (see my post in "other stuff") I've never felt like a slave there. At the end of the day I feel like I've contributed to something meaningful.

I would never want to work for myself. I have no interest in business and no lucrative artistic talents, so *shrug* I can't imagine what I'd do with myself-plus I know I'd either work all the time or become a complete slacker if left to my own devices. But that's just me.

[Brenda Starrr]

I work for myself. I took this temp job because I was bored. Now, I just want to get my ass back to the gym.

One more week....

[Shade Everdark]

Yes, I am a wage-slaving monkey who spends his life ensuring that someone else gets rich while I get an early heart attack and a stupid ass gold watch when I am finally forced out because I am too old, fragile, and senile to be of anymore use to to those whose pockets I'm helping to line.

I might just deal with all of the bottled-up anger and buried resentment that I can't show to my corporate masters by hitting all of you, and losing my hair.

[JaneDead]

i am a stay at home mom so i put "work for myself" but i feel more like someone's monkey so i don't know why i didn't vote that... oh yeah- maybe cuz i don't get paid

[Guest MsMaldoror]

I don't like this poll. It's too black and white. I work for someone else, but I like my job and am by no means a slave or monkey. I refuse to vote!

[Paper Hearts]

Being someone's cattle is way more humiliating and therefore gothic...

[Head Wreck]

wheres the bit for i work for the government and pay 1/4 0f my own wage back

[Mikielikesit]

I work for the MAN and I love what I do I get to help others and get paid to do it ....oh and i also do side work for $$$$$ but its just pocket cash........I like being a monkey........Do you wanna pet my monkey?

[Guest Game of Chance]

If i go pro...in poker...as in fulltime pro...quit my job pro...would I be working for myself?? Cause its not really work...yet I get paid

And I have been thinking about it a lot recently

[JaneDead]

and you talk about it a lot too

[Guest Game of Chance]

and you talk about it a lot too

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I ask myself everyday...why I am going to work today??

Guess I'm just waiting for this market to turn

[saechalyn]

The monkeys are winning!

GOOOOOOOOOOOO MONKEYS!!!!!! :peanutbutterjellytime

[TomCat]

I used to be self employed, but it was more work, and less pay sadly. But I still do a few things on the side for cash that ONLY i reap the rewards of.

[EvilEve]

damn that monkey that gives me the green stuff i need to live off of for two weeks! it should be a crime to have so much money, and be so stingy.

[Daevion]

i hate being the man's slave monkey biotch....but I gotta pay them bills....oh the Angst!!!.....life is hellll!!! did I already say angst?
