The woes of self employment...

Postby jehler » Thu Oct 18, 2012 10:46 am

I suck, I've started 10 different things today, been upstairs to piss about 10 times(office in basement), looked in the fridge 53 times, walked into the reload room 78 times, checked my email 200 times, said to myself "alright gonna get something done now" at least 500 times and my farking desk isn't even cleaned. I feel like I shouldn't even fool myself, I should just admit defeat an go hunting instead I wasting the hours farking up... Is there a drug to fix this?

Had you loaded one shell every time you went in the reload room, you'd have three boxes done. Now get in there and load me some gorilla shells.

I'm self employed, and the worst procrastinator you'll ever come across, especially when it comes to the "office" work. I also have the attention span of beetle. The only time that I'm focused and have things running on pace is gearing up for a duck hunt, most of the time anyway...go figure.

You looking for a new employee?
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven." Such is the rule of honor.

Sounds about right john. Thats why down at the shop we keep toys to play with. We have a small wood lathe, sometimes I take my bow to work (I can shoot 20 yards inside), we have potatoe guns, air soft guns, a little RC helicopter. We even have an old 70's Tote Goat to ride around. Fixed an old guys furnace one winter, saw this thing sitting in the corner of his garage. Gave him $225 off his bill and spent about two hours getting it running. I did some looking on line and it looks like this thing is worth about 600-700 bucks to some of the die hard collectors.

It's risk mngmt. Let the workers do the bare minimum to get the comfortable quota or push them beyond their comfort level and bare their grievousness. Sounds hellish.

I feel ya, Johnny. I have 2 full-time jobs, and I'm self-employed on both. Can't get it all done, and yet when I get to the office I suffer command resistance because, whilst I know I have to do it, I don't like to be forced to do it. Ergo, I look for ways to prevent myself from getting it done.

Office closes December 31, for good. Prolly the stupidist financial decision in the history of mankind, but as of the end of 2012, Cannon is a farmer, and a farmer only.

This may sound stupid, but if you put yourself in the right mindset, it can be fun to try and live on pennies. I welcome the challenge. My first 7 months or so out in AZ were like that, sending all the money home except for $100 each month after paying my rent out there. No joke trying to live on $100 a month, and that includes electric, gas for the Jeep, food for me, and cigarette tobacco. Still had plenty of fun, but you get "creative". I used to LOVE work functions that included food. I was not bashful at all, and if you didn't beat me to the line, there may not be any left. It could have been miserable, but I made a game out of it.

Well, we're definitely gonna have to get a tad more humble.
