I feel like the chains are off.

The chains that have been binding me for so long.

I kinda knew they were there, but felt I needed them, wtf is up what that?

The power of corporate america to brainwash their conscripts is... troublesome.


I'm charging $150/hour to write code for a company that I really wasn't pleased with, and still having the time of my life. I'm writing code at... 8:27pm... because I *want* to, to complete my vision.


I was getting paid $61.01/hour before. I had to answer to my manager once a week in a "one on one". Those meetings usually were asking me where I was in my current project, in which my estimates were disregarded, and me telling them why I could not meet their unrealistic deadlines. I had health insurance, but I will in a few days, thanks to Obamacare, so, I'm kind of just frakking done with being an *employee, after I get tired of my easy 9-5.


My current task master, who was my previous manager, who has given me zero direction, is just saying "This is approved" when I submit my detailed weekly invoices, for between $5,775 and $7,950.


My manifested thought pattern is for them to think "This guy saved our asses by still working for us, we'll pay whatever he wants, and let him do his thing until he asks for direction."


They've finally figured out that if they just give me what I ask for, stay out of my way, answer my questions, all they have to do is just be patient for a few days, and wait for me to poop out gold.


Pretty sure they've figured out that I'll just move on to the next challengingly awesome thing I choose to create for them.


Because I'm a builder. I build things for fun. Large things, to help many people, at the same time. My IsBe needs problems to solve. Solving problems completes me, the more difficult, the more reward for being awesome.


I want to create a universe that I can be happy in, where I can help people by being my awesome self, and fix problems.


I want to ride on a white horse, or maybe a pony?


Either way, I'm gonna get frakking PAID.

Buy some property on a mountain, pop a squat with StarLink, and wait for the flood that hopefully will not come.
