JISE: Working From Home

I am living the dream so many of us have.

Working from home. Being my own boss, more or less (when you are the boss, of course, your customers or clients become your bosses).

The problem, naturally, is that the work is always there. I can’t leave it at the office. And I have a hard time giving myself days off when I know that assignment is lurking, unfinished, waiting for me.

But I am working it out. I love the freedom of being able to set my hours as I like and listen to music or have a movie on in the background.

Better still, I get so busy I can hire subcontractors to help me out. If that’s not the American dream, I am not sure what is.

WildAspie Today: Mortgage Mod Plan

The Mortgage Loan Modification Plan is a new Federal program designed to help qualified homeowners reduce their monthly payments. Many banks and other mortgage lenders are participating in this plan, and over seventy billion dollars have been allocated by the government for funding.

If you meet some basic criteria, you are eligible for a significant reduction to your monthly payments. This standardized program means no negotiations are necessary: if you qualify, your application will be processed.

Pulling it all together

spectrum

I work and do much of my “living” online.  I am learning, making some mistakes, and in general having a fine ol’ time in this new computer age.

Since this is still a “settling-in” period, there may still be some significant changes ahead, but for the most part I am confident that I have finally found the right combination to keep me in the game.

Kaleidoscopy is not only an aggregation blog: I will also be sharing my personal experiences with the Absynthe Spectrum Community, being a nOOb literary agent, and learning how to effectively network online.

Should be a good time.

JISE: Mental Seas
