What do the ‘Jewishly challenged’ construction workers in the adjacent building think when they see me strolling around the house in my underwear at 1 in the afternoon? Do they think Im an overpriviliged, elitist, silver spooned white boy? Do they feel jealous like I do when seeing a peer drive around a $100,000 car? Do they even care? should I even care?
After several years of working in corporate surroundings I’ve found myself freelancing for different firms and consequently working out of my home studio (very near to the Frug St. Chronicles HQ). This has made me appear to people like a bit of a bum. Since my schedule is flexible I can go to the beach, work out, meet friends or even catch a movie during regular business hours but people who grind out 9-5 jobs perceive this lifestyle as un-serious.
In respect I’d like to say that being tanned, working half naked or even just being available to talk on the phone during the day doesn’t make my work ethic diminish. On the contrary. Having so many distractions and still being able to meet deadlines and produce high quality work is much harder this way. I also never waste anyone’s time by surfing the web or small talking to receptionists.
All you enterprised bigots – you have your weekends and I have my whenevers.
