]]> So I am self employed through the sole owner of three companies, and a 98% owner of a 4th company.  I work Monday through Friday 0600 to 1800 hours and Saturday from 1200 to 1600 hours.  And I could work more if I had the time and no family or dog!  I do try to take Sunday off.

But I have acquaintances and others think that I don’t work and have all the free time in the world to do things for them.  At not cost to them, and often cost to me in gas/car maintenance, and sometimes significant time cost.   I get asked if I am busy.  They know I am the owner of 4 active companies, all of which require my time and effort to make them work.  And I charge a lot of money per hour to the company when I work for that company!

So if you are self employed you can take off all the time you want to do things for them, at cost to you (aside from the missed billable hours to the companies) often?

I don’t get it.  It is a job, and often requires more time than if you were working for someone else.  In fact, not often, but almost 100% guaranteed that you will be working time if self-employed than if you were working for someone else’s company, and often won’t get paid for some of that time as well.

Yes, Monday through Saturday, during normal weekday hours, and that includes Saturday as I cut grass in the morning before I get to work (yes, work is in my upstairs office, but when I’m there, I’m working!!), I am BUSY!!

    Day by day the world seems to be in a downward spiral and is falling apart. Humanity has lost all sense of morals, rightful compassion, and understanding. Many of the leaders, rulers, and official government employees seem to think that only they should be in the money, in 100% charge…

The post Politics, Religion, the Taboo Subjects… appeared first on DM and DJ's Web Home.

]]> Over the last 62, 63 at the end of next month, politics and religion have been a “taboo” subjects.  It and religion aren’t to be talked about, because it might upset your friends, family, or those around, and you might loose friends and family members, and make enemies of many.  I’ve pretty much stuck to that during conversations with people around me, including family.

I’m done with that.  Both of these subjects NEED to be talked about.  Heavily, with open, non-heated discussion, with all sides listening to the other side, and letting the other side talk, with the mind open on the listener.  Race, sex, sexual preferences and political affiliation need to be taken out of the Political conversations and facts of success or failure of a policy should be the subject of discussion.

I will begin posting my political views here starting today and moving forward from there.  I will be doing the same with the political aspect of religion here as well.  My over all religious thoughts will still be at “Don and His Spiritual Journey“, which I plan on adding to more frequently as well.

It’s time to get back onto the world, while still remaining Faithful to my religious foundations and life, and let my thoughts come out in force!
