RE: Summer Season: It's the best, and it's the worst...

in #life7 years ago

I can relate to the "self employed" thing...my line of work forces me to work crazy hours from January through end of April...and as a small office owner...just one other employee...I can never fully get away even after my busy time...These days there's no such thing as totally getting "away"....Even when I am "away"...I'm on call...Unfortunately...the new 24?7 economy leaves you always "available"...

Plus...the bills have to get paid...I don't get paid sick days or vacations...so...my efforts matter every day...regardless...I do my best to find some balance...in all...I do like not having to answer to superiors...although...my clients and the government are always in my scope...and its hard being the only decision maker especially as I get older....so I do my best each day...enjoy the small moments when I can sneak away...read a book...take a walk...post on Steemit...and dream of a day when I can shut the phone off and truly "be away"....

Good luck with your summer season....
