RE: Quit All Her Previous Jobs 'Cause They Didn't Let Her Wear Flip Flops At Work 🤷😎✌️

in #freedom8 years ago (edited)

Wow, you're a great writer. I love this! I said "no" to business uniforms also. About 4 years ago.

Actually, I said no to 70-hour work weeks, not enough lunch breaks, micromanagement and being trapped in a small room all day long.

I still have 70-hour work weeks...

...but at least I'm trying to do my own dang thing. And sometimes, I don't even make it into flip-flops. Sometimes I just stay barefoot, because my feet like to be free.

It's been a crazy journey. It's been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, insecurity and thrills. I no longer have a stable income. Some months I made more than I used to at my job.

Some months I made almost nothing.

But I keep on pushing because I'm a little crazy and even though I've learned to say no to what I don't want...sometimes I don't take no for an answer haha. I always try to find a way to make something work. If it doesn't, then maybe I'm knocking on the wrong door.

Anyway, can I ask what kind of work you do with your dad? The gardening?

I'd love to have a garden again if I would just settle down in one place long enough lol.

I'm in Bali at the moment. Anyway, LOVE this post!

Sort:  

Barefoot is my preferred method as well :D

Except in places with fireants haha I'm so allergic it's pathetic

Wow, what a nice comment! Thanks a lot for the insights @nomadicsoul.

You pretty much summed it up here:

Actually, I said no to 70-hour work weeks, not enough lunch breaks, micromanagement and being trapped in a small room all day long.

If I considered Steem being my second job, then I'd definitely reach those 70 hours, too. But it's as you said: if you do what you love, it's a completely different story.

And to answer your question: My dad and I are running a hot pepper seeds production :-) We've got three of these green houses, fully packed with plants.

Again, thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy Bali (been there recently, too) :-)

What kind of hot peppers? My hubbie loves hot peppers, but this seemed to be a bad year in our area for peppers in general.

Thanks for your nice response also! Wow, your dad sounds like an awesome guy!!

I love the entrepreneurial spirit! And I love that it's combined with something healthy and good for the soul like gardening outdoors (or greenhouses...kind of like the outdoors).
