Re: secretary?

More | Report Post

I can't afford any type of secretary. I don't make enough money
really. I have lots of lawyers in my immediate vicinity. I cant
really generate regular cash flow. I took my son to the ballgame
this weekend, and I had to buy him a regular hot dog, even though he
wanted a foot long. I made him share the hot dog with me, as I had
not eaten in 3 days. I am independent though and freedom is
valuable to me. I am an attorney and that gives me status. I have
lots of student loans, so my small profit goes to pay a rich
banker's mistress' massage school tuition, instead of to spend on my
needs. I love being a solo though because I am able to make a
difference in my community and help people. I could have done that
though by being a cop or firefighter, or just volunteering at a food
bank, and I wouldnt have all this debt.
