Desk Coder reminded me of another frustrating situation at work. One that yet again proves that people in the managerial positions above us have no clue.

48 Days to Creative Income, Day 13
Day #12: Which of the 10 models of work appeals to you?

48 Days to Creative Income, Day 12
Day #12: Which income option have you been using?
Not much of a discussion point but 48 Days basically lists out the 3 models of income generation and asks in which have you been using?
Option #1: Traditional Job, Guaranteed Income, Guaranteed Benefits, etc.
This options should be painfully familiar. It’s the [...]
