$$$-Tactics for Shift-n-Salary workers

https://lnkd.in/eV7vARR5

Cash Slave, reporting in...

Good morning, master. State Trooper Hernandez reporting!

I hope you're doing well since the last time we saw each other. Again, I can't apologize enough for pulling you over on the highway. I had no idea you were such an amazing hypnotist. Thank you again for letting me get off easy and only making me taze myself twice! I was paralyzed in that muddy ditch for awhile, but you could've given me a helluva worse punishment!

Your instructions aren't negotiable, so I made sure to snap a photo before I started my shift today. As you suggested, I've been eating a box of donuts every morning, and I've packed on a hefty 30 lbs since I've started. My wife has complained, but I know you want me to look more like a cliche of law enforcement!

I'll stop by your house to drop off my paycheck tonight after work. I won't forget to pick up some pizza for you and your friends on the way: extra sausage, just like you said!

See you tonight, master!

Hello sir.

It's been a week since you came into my shop, and I've followed everything you said. I didn't agree with it at first, but you convinced me with that little pendant.

You were right! I really am beneath powerful men like you. Filthy blue-collar workers aren't worthy to lick the dirt off your shoes. You were right to point that out, and you were right to tell me to embrace it. When the world looks at me, they shouldn't see a man. They should see a grease monkey at the bottom of society.

That's why I haven't showered or changed in seven days. My BO is uncomfortable to work in, but I know it's just a reminder of what I am. I used to be proud of my job. Ha! I used to look down on suits like you, but I'm nothing in comparison; just a tool at your disposal.

Anyways, I cleaned and waxed your old car as fast as I could. I know I lent you my convertible, but you're welcome to keep it. I put a lot of sweat and blood in fixing her up, but like you said, fancy cars are meant for you to drive and me to maintain.

Stop back in my garage anytime. White-collar men like you get free service here! It's not the place of any lowly laborer to get in the way of what you want.

Thank you again, sir.

Hello boss.

Just started another long day of window washing! It's another hot one, but I'll keep my head down and sweat through it like usual.

I've gotta say, it's days like this that make me miss the comforts of my old corporate desk job. I'd kill for some AC right now, but I remember how much you made me realize I hated that career. Like you said, I'm much better suited to a life of mindless cleaning.

It turns out you're the real one with a knack for business strategy because all of your advice has been genius! The income is dependent on the hours I put in, and since I'm working for half the price of all competitors, I've gotten a monopoly on the market! I've fully booked all seven days for the next five or so weeks, so I'll be washing windows non-stop!

The business is already booming! I've been billing customers to your bank account, so you should already see all the profit in there!

Later today, I'll make a note of the minimum I need to replenish the cleaning supplies I'm running through. I'd also be grateful if you loaned me a bit for personal use, but it's understandable if you can't spare any! We agreed that I wasn't working for a salary, and I'm fine with that! I've been sleeping in the company van the last few weeks and it's more than good enough for me!

Don't worry, boss. I'll get back to work!

Tell my wife hello for me, master!

Working on a rig has been isolating. The job is brutal, the days are long, and every night I head back to our bunks covered in oil. I thought I'd at least get to bond with the other guys, but most of us are too tired to do anything but eat and sleep after our shift.

The only thing that's getting me through it is thinking about you. I know I also have a girl at home, but you were the one that gave my life purpose. I was never going to make money as an actor, and you helped me see that! You were the one that convinced me to go for this ridiculous job in the middle of the ocean, and now I'm making a ton of money!

You deserve it all.

I wouldn't have seen any of this cash if I hadn't stuck around after your stage hypnosis show. I still remember the wild look in your eyes when you came up with this idea for me. I also remember that hungry look you had when you saw my wife. It was impossible to say no.

Oh, and thanks for keeping my wife company while I'm gone. A man like you deserves her attention more than I do. Like you said, I doubt I was pleasing her to begin with. The only thing I'm good for is earning money, and I hope you're enjoying it because it sure isn't easy to earn!

I gotta get back, but I wanted to let you know that I signed up for another six months like you suggested. It's lonely, but I'm happy to do it, master!

Son, or should I still call you 'sir'?

I'm not sure if I your new title applies through text as well? Being your dad and your servant can be a bit confusing, but I don't mean disrespect you! Just let me know.

My workout is done and I'm headed back to your house. I signed the deed over to you this morning, so you officially own it now! Like usual, I'll clean the place from top to bottom. I've got all the mops and cleaning supplies in my van and ready to go. Since it's Friday, I'll start on the weekly yard work; mowing, weeding, etc... I don't want to bore you with the details, but it'll take the majority of the day to keep your place in tip top shape!

As I understand it, you are having friends over tonight, so I'll prepare a three course meal for eight. I ironed my apron this morning so I should look like a more presentable waiter than last night when I served your food!

As always, please let me know if there's any other way I can be of service today or tonight.

I'll be awaiting your return, sir.

Hey little bro,

I just finished my workout at the gym with dad. We're both hitting PRs and we're really starting to see some results! Still can't believe you hypnotized his dumb ass to think he's your butler! That man looks so stupid changing from gym clothes into a bowtie and gloves. He's constantly calling you 'sir' too, even when you're not around.

He's such an idiot.

Anyways, I'm all dressed and ready for my new job. You were totally right. I'm going to be so much happier as a clown instead of a wrestler. I'm about to head out to my first gig; a ten year old's birthday party. I think he's the kid of someone I used to compete with. It might be a little awkward, but it won't affect my routine. I've got an afternoon of pies in the face and self-deprecating humor ahead of me.

I made sure to tell the guy who hired me that I'm willing to stay after and clean up. Kids make a huge mess after all. I just hope he won't be too weird about me being a clown at his son's party. We may have been rivals in the past, but that was back when I wrestled. Now I'm just a joke for hire. He's technically my boss for the day, so I'll have to get used to taking orders from him.

Wish me luck, bro. I'll give you the money after the dad dismisses me. Let's hope I make a good clown!

CARPE DIEM

Ne le laissez pas finir sans avoir un peu grandi, sans avoir été un peu plus heureux, sans avoir nourri vos rêves. 

Ne vous laissez pas submerger par le découragement. Ne laissez personne vous retirer votre droit de vous exprimer, ce qui est presque un devoir. 

N'abandonnez pas votre désir de faire de votre vie quelque chose d'extraordinaire ... 

N'arrêtez pas de croire que les mots, les rires et la poésie peuvent changer le monde ... 

Nous sommes des êtres humains, pleins de passion. La vie est désertique et aussi Oasis. Cela nous assomme, nous fait mal, fait de nous les protagonistes de notre propre histoire… Mais n'arrêtez jamais de rêver, car ce n'est qu'à travers les rêves que l'homme peut être libre.

Me permitió conocer su lado sensible, su lado obscuro, su lado destructible, su lado vulnerable, tenemos mucho en común.. bastante en común, nunca había encontrado una persona tan buena en la vida, tan sencilla, tan risueña,a pesar de que nos conocemos poco siento como si la conociese de toda la vida, ojalá esta misma nos permita tener más buenos momentos y que esto sea grande e infinito.

Миссия невыполнима, но надо стараться: успеть изгулять все парки, перенюхать все цветы, запомнить зелёными деревья, намайничаться до отвращения, чтобы уже с облегчением нырнуть в ноябрьскую снегогрязь. Пока, правда, ни разу не удавалось, ноябрь каждый раз настаёт слишком быстро. Единственный пригодный для жизни сезон пролетает, как аэроэкспресс мимо деревни Мышенки (действительно есть такая в Подмосковье. Не успею я дописать этот пост, как в Фейсбуке уже будут спорить, что же всё-таки празднуется в день народного единства. Поэтому я даже дописывать его не буду, а по #may #spring #flowers #nature #russia #moscow #sun #green #selfie #girl #bird-cherry #birdcherry #весна #май #черемуха #carpediem #carpe_diem #ловимомент #лови_момент

[carpediem2999]

Quanti dubbi ho nella mia testa, troppe indecisioni, troppe responsabilità. Dovrei avere un lavoro una ragazza, dovrei essere felice, alle serate con i miei amici, dovrei essere sempre più sicura di me stessa e com’è possibile che sono sempre più insicura? Com’è possibile che non ho ancora capito io chi sono veramente?

Ho momenti dove solo la luce e momenti dove sono il buio. Ho momenti che mi addormento con la speranza di non svegliarmi il giorno dopo.

Più scrivo su questo foglio più ho così tante cose da scrivere che non saprei manco da dove partire.

Più sono le cose che vorrei scrivere, più la mia testa non le regge, più la mia anima si stanca, a tal punto di voler fermarmi, fissare il vuoto per un momento, stare in silenzio, fino a pensare che questa pace, questo silenzio, mi piace dannatamente, mi piace e mi chiedo.. perché sono arrivata a questo punto? Perché da lì la mia mente comincerà a pensare al passato, comincerà a riassumere tutti gli episodi che ho avuto fin da piccola. felicità, dolore, adrenalina, amore, delusione, rimpianti, così tanti sentimenti nell’arco di qualche minuto per arrivare di nuovo a chiedermi, perché sono arrivata a questo punto? 🥀

She stormed in to whirl me around in the air The air was snatched from my lungs My lungs shrunk until it was't air I needed I needed her in all her magnificence Her magnificence grew while my heart beat Heartbeat after heartbeat I waited I waited for her to give me the love The love I felt for her For her the void was too big to cross To cross would have killed her Killed her, I did I did kill her. ☀️ #poetrycommunity #poetry #poems #poemsdaily #poetsofinstagram #originalpoetry #nice #villedenice #photographerslife #carpe_diem (at Vieux-Nice)
