I Quit
So what did you guys do this weekend?
My weekend was jam packed with fun. One of my best friends came in from out of town to go to the NBA Finals with me on Sunday night. (thanks for the tickets Steve) I played my first round of golf of the year. I made a guest appearance on Technosailor TV.
Oh and I quit the job that I moved to Boston for.
I decided to move back into the world of consulting and have launched my own company doing social media consulting. I actually already have like clients and stuff. By the start of August I will hopefully have my first employee on my payroll as well.
Of course the best thing about all of this is that I get to work from home, which I am personally really excited about. No more commuting on a daily basis. One of my friends though suggested I might miss working in an office and some of the fun things that go with human interaction, my friend was concerned that it might negatively impact my sanity.
In order to keep my new job fresh I have decided to devise theme days for my new place of employment.
Monday- No Pants Mondays
I get to work in my boxers all day and talk to clients on the phone while I am wearing no pants. They don’t know that I am not wearing pants and probably think that I am in an office in a high rise wearing pants. When actually I will be on my couch just wearing boxers and NO PANTS!!! Oh the joke is SO on them. (Unless they aren’t wearing pants either then the joke is on me for thinking the joke is on them.)
Tuesday- Sexual Harassment Tuesdays
Throughout the day I will make sure to drop a pen on the floor and when I bend over to pick it up say totally inappropriate things. At the end of the day I am going to go to myself in tears and say something like, “This is sexual harassment.”
Then I will coldly reply to myself, “It is my word against yours. Who do you think a court is going to believe a respected professional like myself or some young piece of ass I rescued from a stripper’s pole?”
Wednesday- White Rapper Wednesday
I get to dress like a gangster and enter my home office listening to 3rd Bass’s “Pop Goes the Weasel”. When I get halfway to my desk I will do the running man
Why? Just because I can.
(This day may also be occasionally replaced with Wife Beater Wednesday. Wearing wife beaters to work with mustard stains down the front of it sounds like fun.)
Thursday- No Pants Thursday
(See no pants Monday)
Friday-
Pssh… Like I am going to work on Fridays. Three days weekends for everybody!
What theme day would you create?

Wow…
Change your mind and do Fear Factor Fridays. Some ridiculous stunt or behavior performed in a very public place. Think of the fun it will be writing about it on No Pants Monday…

When you have an employee - “Blow the boss day” is a must. Until then it could just be lube and porn day

Lube and porn day is already celebrated at this residence. Over and over and over again.

Really, isn’t everyday no pants day?
Then you could make Mondays get drunk and kidnap a hooker day.

I work from home for my company, and I’m sad. I didn’t get that creative. Thus far I’ve pretty much had pajama and nappy hair day for roughly five years now. I actually despise the days I have to go into the office. Trust me, you don’t miss the office people. At least I don’t, hell I couldn’t stand those bitches when I worked in the office, now I can have my friends come over and visit me while I work, and that’s way better!

I interviewed for a new job yesterday.
The third guy to interview me asked:
“So…why are you looking to leave your current job?”
I looked at him, and dejectedly said:
“Sexual harassment. I couldn’t take it anymore.”
*cricket*
Then I told him I was kidding. And he laughed.
Then, I think, he called my employer.
When are you starting to hire again?

Congratulations! Unless you make no money and have to go on that craigslist thing as a gigolo/hooker/rent boy.
I like Meghan’s idea of Fear Factor Friday, you could hurt yourself for our amusement.
and I think every day will be no pants day for you.

I agree with Claire/Meghan’s suggestion. Do something supid, videotape it, and let us watch.

Taco Tuesday - Hire a Mexican from the parking lot of Home Depot to come to your house and make you tacos (or other assorted Mexican food items). You’ll be fueling the economy AND you’ll have tacos. It’s a win/win situation.

I like Katie’s idea of Taco Tuesday but hire prostitutes instead.
You don’t have to change the name, either.
It’s a win-win!

I quit my job and work for myself from home and I decided that I am closed Friday - Monday…I open on Tuesday around 10am-ish, or whenever I get a call signifying money coming in. Although in my line of work…it only takes 6hrs a month to pay for 3 months worth of living expenses… Some of my biggest money days were made before noon with no bra on. …..and no pole.
Great… that clip now makes me want Burger King…and I have on work clothes…I have to put on a bra and shoes to go and get it!
Thanks a lot KEVIN!
PS I got to that TechnosailorTV late but I still caused trouble in the live chat and told them that you sent me.

Do I really need to explain why someone would need a day to eat tasty tacos?
Can also work on 2 levels.

Thank you Kevin - thank you for helping me realize my previously unknown reasons for quitting my FT gig and working for myself. I am right now celebrating Comfy Robe and Soggy Cereal at Noon While Commenting on Blogs and Procrastinating Going to the Gym Thursday.
Damn we’re all a bunch of lazy-asses. Ain’t working from home grand?

I want to hear some more details on this social media consulting.
I’d also like to ask that you setup a web cam. This way I can check out your ass crack as you bend over for the pen.
