Get out of the corporate world and start writing for a living. I found your blog this morning by accident because my 5-year-old wanted to see a picture of elephant poop.....and Voila....your site had one. After sharing that lovely picture with my daughter, I read most of your posts and haven't laughed that hard in ages. You've inspired me!! <em>Dang.

Yeah, right! Like that'll ever happen. (Believe me, I wish it would, but I'd also like to think the Fair Tax will actually become low. I'm a dreamer.)

Which you then <i>sub</i>contract out, with the result that you make money while someone else does work. Be quick though, only three years left for the Bush Corporation, then we may actually get someone competent running the show and it'll be back to having to <i>earn</i> money.

A friend and I are looking to stop working for someone else and opening our own business. Yesterday, we had our first meeting with a potential client. When we walked in, we had the expectation we probably wouldn't get any work from them. When we left, we were absolutely positive we would. That felt really good. Knowing what we know, how to put it together and make it work, AND enjoying it all at the same time. It's almost too good to be true. I couldn’t have said it better.
