the cable guy.

A little history first. I interned for a company my senior year of college, and after a skillfully planned proctastion period, realized that my college loans weren't going to pay themselves off. Oh, and neither were my parents.

So, I needed to get a job.

Seeing as how I had already committed to a higher-than-any-college-grad-without-a-job rent, I was stuck. I quickly gathered all of my shit into one giant organized mess, and presented to my boss that he set me up with a home office in Chicago. I work better on my own time, anyways.

You can look at a home office as those for underachievers, sure. As I've only been working a week, I can't attest that its not. However, the benefits for both the employers AND the employees, are, according to my presentation, VERY beneficial. More productivity, less sick time. No work clothes, no dressing up. Cell phone, computer, company card. And, what apparently is the most important - I don't have to take off work for the cable guys to come. If you've ever dealt with the cable guys, you can understand why this is, above all, very important.

Enjoy the blog, that I know you are secretly reading in your office cubicles. :)
