Member-only story
Before I launch into some ways that I like, no LOVE, working from home far better than my typical office life, I wish to issue the following disclaimer:
I am truly grateful to remain gainfully employed at this time when somewhere in the neighborhood of forty freakin’ million Americans are unemployed. Forty million!
As I have shared, I must work for the government and my profession is as an economic developer. My job is important for the community at this time more than ever as I spend the bulk of my days trying to assist businesses to remain open and viable during these trying times.
That said, this June marks twenty-seven years since I began working in an office in the Clerk County Clerk of the Circuit Court office processing arrest warrants. Yes, a shitty job for a recent college graduate and one that would not really require even one day past high school. Nonetheless, that was my first at least almost-real job. My first “real” job came about a year-and-a-half later, when I became an Adult Probation Officer as described in my self-published tome of over eight hundred pages, The P.O.
Long story made short, after being a P.O. for around seven years while working my way through graduate school over the course of four years, I entered into the economic development world in which I still reside…
