3/4 Timing It

Somebody here is taking a hefty, hefty paycut and he's very excited about it. Hint: it may or may not be me.

My goal, like every other American, is to be paid obscenely for doing absolutely no work. Having a job doesn't really fit into that, since employers expect you to work in exchange for your salary. Being on welfare doesn't really fit into that either, since the government doesn't pay that well. The ideal scenario would really combine the best of the two: I'd sit on my ass like a welfare queen while people throw big bags of money at me and pay for my dental care.

The best way to accomplish that, I figure, is to start my own company and become a titan of some industry. What industry? I'm not sure yet; I'm leaning towards feather boas or something new that I'm calling porn 'n beans.

Anyway, with my partner Pattylicious Lioi, we're starting on just that task. We've got a couple of ideas and we're putting them out there for the world before we give up on life entirely and start wearing velcro shoes.

In order to spend more time on our little endeavor, my current employer agreed to let me work 30 hours a week. I do lose a good chunk of my salary, but I keep my benefits and I can always go back should it become clear that no one is ready to pay for a feather boa/porn 'n beans combo pack. Ka-ching, dude.

I start on this new schedule on November 19th. I am actually really excited. We're doing, of course, software stuff, and I think we're talking about something pretty interesting. Start saving now because it won't come cheap.
