Here I am at work and for some reason they think i really want to work. I just go to new projects to do that are going to take me forever!! Don't they know I have mylotting to do? Don't they know I got to get my damn website off the ground!!!! I mean does anyone else work here????. Have you ever felt like you are the only one working? Have you ever thought of starting your own business so you don't have to depend on a paycheck???

LOL how dare they!! I have felt like that many times when I was working and when I've been home. It would be nice to start my own business but not sure what I would do though.

My boss caught me on MyLot yesterday and we had a long discussion. If I run out of things to do, I can now leave early. Unfortunately, what is now what I have to do is completed before 10:00 A.M. I'll go broke if I leave then every day.

I always felt like I was the only one working when I worked outside of the home also. I hated it. I didn't mind working, but when I was the only one doing it and getting drove nuts by co-workers gossiping and not doing their job, that made me mad. I quit and started my own business cleaning homes. That didn't last long or pay me very well though. I spent alot of money in gas to go back and forth to all of the homes. I just work from home on my computer now. I do not make a whole lot of money but I am so glad to have peace of mind now.

Yes, the more work you do for them the more they think you are capable of. I tried my own business once. Didn't work out so well.

Yes...yes and yes!! I'm at work, too, and I'm the go to person for anything that has to do with everyone's computers along with my regular responsibilities and the extra junk that gets tossed my way because they know that I can do it. Then I watch just about everyone else goofing off while my desk gets piled higher and higher! I would LOVE to start my own business...if I could think of something to do that I could actually earn money doing down here in Nowhere Florida.

yes, that is me. oh give it to her, she can do it. let her do it so we can go out for a three hour lunch and drinks. There are plenty of ways to make some extra money or a nice income from the comfort of your home. if you are willing to do what it takes to make it happen for yourself

I too am at work right now. I answer calls all day long and some days there are not that many calls to answer so I am on myLot. I hate my paycheque because it's not big enough, lol. I am actually looking into starting an online business as well. Hope to have it up and running next week, and I hope to god it pays decent so I can quit where I am working now. =)

Don't get me wrong, I do love my job. I love what I do and I love the people I work with. however, sometimes it seems like i am the only one doing anything. My paycheck is nice but we can always use some more money. I just want to make enough money so i can work because i want to not because i have too

I mylot in the morning with my morning coffee and I enjoy that immensely. At 8am I drive to my farm and do farm stuff. I have 6 people who do various things like mending the fence, boring holes for the banana seedlings that I will be planting soon, and lots of other farm stuff. I don't do any manual work but I manage everything including the nutrition of the chickens, goats, cattle. I plan to raise some tilapia and catfish too. Coming home from the farm at 3pm I go and purchase supplies before the hardware stores close. At night before I go to bed, I do a little bit of mylotting after I do my reading and other research which has relevance to my offline work. I forgot to mention that I have over a thousand websites needing attention and I have deferred work on my killer website because I just have too many things needing to be done.

Yep, you gotta do that too. And when you're done, I have a business I want you to start for, a website to design, a toilet to clean and a whole list of other stuff, so stop whining and get to work! ROFL No sweets, you're not alone. Any chance you can make them all mylotters and get paid there as well as here? ROFL

34momma hi I feelfor you but I am retired now so no more worries or feeling like I am the only one doing something. I worked as a page in my local library ane there were two kids about ninetten who felt that paging was really beneath them so they would play at shelving books then go into the clerks room and mess around trying to learn the clerks jobs instead of helping me page books ,they did not last too long before the branch manager fired them.I have thought of starting my own business but on line and most on line stuff are scams. lol

Yeah at my work since i'm the fastest typer i'm the one that gets the most patients because everyone else is slow. Half the time I feel like i'm the only one working and it gets very annoying to me as well. There are days I leave here n I'm ready 4 a drink or just go vent to my friends. My job is very stressful but I do like it though.

oh i know i am always ready for a drink at the end of the day. my job is not stressful, but a lot of the time people act like they don't know what is going on and they make more then me. i love my job, i really do. i work with some great people, but it's on those days that i am just done and don't want to be bothered with nonsense. then i think, i have three kids, with one in college. i am so grateful that i have a job that pays well.

I've thought about it, but I'm too lazy for that :-x 6 more months and i'll be outta this joint! I don't mind work so much as I mind the hour long drive to work. I need a closer job.
