Go free

Authored by Rickey Combs

So the traditional working environment isn’t working for me anymore. Lunch breaks and vacation days just don’t make me feel like I’m living in the land of the free. Call me an entitalist if you want, but there are too many options out there for me to sit in front of a desk all day pushing papers for a company that doesn’t know my passions and I certainly don’t share theirs. I feel like I’m staring in my own version of Office Space, but I don’t think the concept is that ridiculous. I’m crafty. I could market something or provide a service for someone without feeling like a slave in a free country. In fact, there are even whole companies out there who specialize in providing communication resources to small businesses. I ran across t1.xo.com/ the other day and was amazed at the possibilities. You can connect to anything anywhere. Tell me why I need to sit in a cubicle all day dreaming of the sun when I can be out in cultivating a productive and flexible lifestyle. I say go free!
