Living the American Dream

30 years ago nobody got triggered, or angry by reading the title of this blog post.  If you're such an individual then this is not for you.

Woke up early yesterday to mow the grass because it was going to rain in the afternoon.  The wife and I jumped out and mowed and the lawn looks perfect after it's mowed...I mean every blade of grass is just perfect.

She puts out bird seed on 2 places in our back yard and the birds come by the dozens to feast and play and chirp and squirrels are everywhere in the early morning sunlight. 

The cats plaster themselves into the open windows so they can watch the birds and squirrels do their thing while the breeze gently moves through keeping the day just right.

put on some very relaxed clothing and started my work day.  Since I own my own business I slept in today until 11am.  Then I logged into my first customer's pc remotely and fixed her issues.  Just a simple windows update and reboot was all that was causing the problem, and some minor malware which was scanned for and removed.  Just like that I have billed an hour labor without having to put on my shoes.  I love my job.

Next Customer, a laptop that needs old software removed, and new put on.  Done and Done, one hour labor.  Man I've made $120 bucks today and still groggy.

Next a phone call comes in, a customer can't connect to the internet...  I'll go visit them tomorrow.  

This is what the efforts of hard work yield after a few years of working for myself has earned me.  The process will continue until I am bored or change professions.  I have the freedom to take a day off anytime I want, or go someone at any time I want.  Nobody can call me into their office to complain about my getting to work on time or tell me my call times are too high, or tell me I don't do something fast enough for them.  I don't have to worry about how fast I can satisfy someone at a register, or a drive thru, or .....anything.  I take my time and the calls come in, and my pay rolls in.

Socialism can NEVER give me this...ever.   

Tomorrow I'm going to go work on finding another income stream....
