Momma Said

Momma, rest her soul, was a tough wise woman. raised three kids alone, put two through collage, owned several house free and clear when she died. I was raised to: – Give them an honest hours work for an hours pay. – Give them no work without being paid. – Put the job last in your priorities. – Go in every day prepared to quit if they even look at you sideways. I've done that last thing several times when I've been pushed. They ALWAYS back down. Full Disclosure: I have no kids, a low monthly nut, and there's always tons of work in my field. So I can have this attitude easier than most. If you have mouths to feed or health conditions or whatever and you can't be this independent I never judge. And I'm pulling for you if that counts for anything.
