I never realized how much harder it is working for yourself. Sure, nobody cares if I take a four hour yoga lunch or ten hours to finish a 30 minute task, but at the same time nobody is writing me a check and keeping my work station functioning. Yesterday, my four month old computer had a meltdown. Where's tech support?! My chair was sending me to the chiropractor's office. Where's the office manager?! Back in the day when I worked for The Man, I just drove to work, sat my butt down in a ergonomic chair, and shot off emails anytime my browser didn't move at lightening speed.

I called Apple Support and found out that they would charge me $30 to tell me - as I later figured out - to reinstall my operating system. Thank God I'm resourceful, or I'd have to fire myself. Then, I went to Office Max and bought a chair. It came in a giant box filled little pieces. Where's facilities management?! (Or whoever puts together chairs...). I, finally, put it together...now I'm exhausted.

Just for today, I need some help.
