Arrr ! Eye Knew it ! Wired Says you Freelancers be Swashbuckling Buccaneers ! - cbelt3 - 03-13-2012

"Yet we still love the idea of pirates—those braid-bearded, rum-reeking, vengeance-seeking, lovable scallywags. How often do we see them depicted in popular culture as anything but awesome? As Steve Jobs said, why join the Navy if you can be a pirate? Seriously."
Ahoy !

I don't feel like a pirate.
No dreams of treasure chests spilling over with dubloons.
Just the hope of paying this month's bills and having a little left over.

Maybe they can sail to Washington and get some of our loot back.

Written by someone who's never been a freelancer. (What a load!)

That "little left over" is what the IRS wants.

Nineteen years now and I've never looked back. Arrrrr! Where's my check, you said it mailed last week!?

I'm happy to not be mired in an office job, but I certainly wouldn't romanticize it. I worked 360 days out of 365 for the past two years, and probably the the year before that, for quite a bit less money and lousy health insurance.
