Scheduled to work an event on a day that our business is closed without my consent or knowledge.

Started a job Monday and I think I’m already seeing red flags…? So I started a new job Monday. All was well and then I got an email from our regional manager. This is the guy who hired me/I interviewed with. It was an email sent to a few people thanking us for signing up to man a booth at a convention this Friday.

Why is this used as an insult from out of touch scrooges? “People don't want to work anymore” people would rather work less, and do more things that they like. What the hell is wrong with that? We live in a world with tech that would be seen as godlike by past humans, why should the average person work more hours a week then a medieval farmer had to? Why is it a bad thing that people would rather spend more time enjoying existing, and engaging more with the finer and simpler things in life? Life is one shot. You get to do this once, no take backs. It's a journey that is completely about the travel,…

Selfishness is called Freedom in America

Selfishness has been turned into the #1 virtue in America. And we fight tooth and nail to protect it. But what many of us don’t realize, is that this is what we are calling freedom.
