An online home for me to share my art and some of the general nonsense that enters my head. I'll be sharing my creative processes, experiences and the chaos that may or may not ensue...

Being Self- Employed
Happy Friday and November, dear reader!
So as usual I've reserved Friday for silliness. Today I've got a little diddy that can most definitely be appreciated by self-employed folks who are artists, farmers or otherwise. It goes something like this:
For Every Small Business Owner
A man owned a large farm in Ontario. The Provincial Wage and Hour Department claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to interview him.
"I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them," demanded the agent.
"Well, there are my hired hands. One has been with me for four years; the other for three. I pay them each $600 a week, plus free room and board.
The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $500 a month plus free room and board.
Then there's the half-wit that works here about 18 hours a day. He takes home $10 a week and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every week to keep him going," replied the farmer.
"That's the guy I want to talk to; the half-wit." said the agent.
The farmer said, "That would be me."
It's both funny and sad because it's true...although I don't care much for bourbon, more of a beer and wine person myself.
So good on all of you for making it through another week and enjoy your working week-end! :p

Love the colors in this one, Rita.
Jennifer and Meg- It made me laugh when I read it and then shake my head. I don't remember the last time I had a vacation...but at least I'm not working for someone else! :D
Lisa- Thanks! There's something about pieces/ compositions with complimentaries that I just love.
