    Hi all,

    Just wanted to post this because it felt good. Friday is my last day on the job because I am ready to go 100% online and my business is ready to launch.

    So I was dressed and ready to walk out the door today, but half way into getting my tie right, I thought about it.

    "Eric, remind yourself again why exactly you are going today"

    Guess what? I just called in. They asked for a reason and I said I needed to make some money. :D

    I love being self employed already!

    Hope everyone elses week has gotten off to a good start.

    Slipsoknotaphobia is the fear of not having your tie on correctly. It affects a .03 -.045% of the male population often to the effect of them not even being able to go to work for fear that their tie is on incorrectly.

    It's a crippling phobia.

    Maybe this can help, otherwise switch to one of those gay looking things that some people wear instead of a tie (dang what was the name again)

    I do this too sort of. :)

    Though I'm not 100% confident enough in my revenue to quit I know I'm making enough that if they fired me I wouldn't starve :) So I call in once in a while and take a day off with some lame excuse not really caring whether they believe me or not (and it shows in my tone).

    In church my brother and I would slide down to the floor and crawl from the front row to the back and go play on the playground.

    That is the extent of my experience. Oh, and I learned that you can feel a fart all the way through a wooden pew. Im talking 30 feet of timber would vibrate. On a crowded Sunday it was hard to find the culprit but you alwyas knew when it took place.

    Did you hate the company that much that you did not even give them a few days notice?

    p.s. poor google ad links are all confused: Labor Day -- Father's Day 2005 -- Labor Day Celebration -- Labor Day Calendar

    What the hell is wrong with you?:D

    If you want to rate farts why not just stick your face up to different guys' butts and give them a score from 1 to 10. It sounds like a Japenese hit tv show to me.
