This job might be my best one. Thinking...
I own my time, my chair, my computer and my own clutter but being the boss without employees produces a series of serious downfalls.
For example, when the weather is -20 and the milk carton runs dry, I must take the frigid trek. Hmm. In my other life, I did that, too. Come to think of it...
When my coffee mug is empty, I must push the button that refills it with my choice of flavor. Come to think of it...
When the office needs cleaned, it's always my turn. Come to think of it...
My income is scattered, miniscule and most times has gone missing entirely. Come to think of it...
I am my own cheerleader. Come to think of it...
With the exception of a twice-weekly yoga class and several monthly painting or writing meetings, I rarely see bodies other than family. Come to think of it...
This may well be the best job. Come to think of it...

Sounds like my dream job. Wise choice, selecting happiness over monetary reward. From my experience, thinking is seldom valued in the workplace. People are too busy networking, scoring brownie points and getting noticed to ever be very good at doing their jobs.
I'm with you girlfriend....haha!!! I agree, best job in town. I just love how you conveyed this...humorous writing! Too bad most people don't get it!! Way to go!
Hugs Sherrie
oh... to never have to leave the house and still be able to eat... i can only dream at this point.....
Sounds to me, like me, you've scored the top job! Loved this Thank You!
Yours IS indeed the best job.
No two opinions about that!
If I had read your post first, I wouldn't of posted mine come to think of it... Beware of micro management!!
All kidding aside you have my dream job.
definately a dreamy job. love this.
Oh but you're not your own cheerleader! You have plenty of those here......a lovely write and a great job, rather like my dream job.
Your choice for art inspires me!
That sounds an awful lot like my job, and I do love it.
oh i did not even think about present job; i thought about past jobs. thanks for the new slant on this
LOL! I find I tend to fall into the same certain roles in the various areas of my life.
Spectacular! So many plusses and minuses no matter where we are, huh? Finding happiness and fulfillment is where it's at though!
Come to think of it ... this is a wonderful post! Peace, JP/deb
being your own boss.... priceless
Indeed, I think you do have the best job. But I'd switch to black coffee before making the trek in that weather to get milk. And dry cereal tastes just fine to me.
It sounds wonderful to me :)
Lovely post!
Come to think of it...best, worst, reality and dream combined..wow how many would have such fine luck...only very few brilliant ones like you...you are brilliant. Loved the post.
You really do have the best job and to read the other comments. sounds like you have a life most, including myself, would want. Thanks for visiting and commenting on my site.
Hey, we have the same job!
Very nice post - it gave me a laugh.
lovely contemplations.....I find it very motivating.
I have that job as well, and it is the best job.
Funny how we have to work at many not the best jobs before we're ready for it.
Who knows you better than you? There are no conflicts of opinion, no fights over coffee flavors, etc. :)
How wise your perception in realizing that you make your own happiness and satisfaction. You have your dream job because you take responsibility to make it work. It sounds like you have always been a "take responsibility" person. Thus you create your own success and are able to successfully be your own boss.
Nice post.
Thanks for your visits to and comments on my blog as well.
