The Funny Thing About Work

Category: WorkJeremy Wright @ 9:14 am

When you work for someone else: You can’t wait to take breaks.
When you work for yourself: You feel guilty stepping away from the computer.

When you work for someone else: Being sick is a break.
When you work for yourself: Being sick means you have to do more work when you’re better… so you might as well just work when you’re sick.

When you work for someone else: You take full meal breaks.
When you work for yourself: You eat in front of the computer.

When you work for someone else: You get frustrated if you have to work more than an 8 hour day.
When you work for yourself: You’re shocked if you work for less than 12 hours a day.

When you work for someone else: It takes you an hour to get to work.
When you work for yourself: It takes you an hour to get to work ;-)

When you work for someone else: You know you have money coming in next week, so seeing a movie is relaxing.
When you work for yourself: You never really know for sure if money’s coming in, so any expense stresses you out.

Yes, I’m learning this all isn’t a dream. I absolutely love what I do, but I’m still learning this thing called “balance”.
