Arty Art Art
As a kid I was always caught drawing in class. Not just out of boredom necessarily, it's just that my mind was always elsewhere, it seemed; to this day my mind is still the same, quite honestly, no matter what I could not focus in class at all. I don't have an attention disorder, though it was assumed that I did, all it was was that I wanted to make art and express myself.

Frank Goodberry
Frank Goodberry sighs loudly and throws another crunched up piece of paper into the wastepaper bin that sits against the wall, between his filing cabinet and his liquor cabinet. The liquor cabinet sees an awful lot more use than the filing cabinet does, that's for sure. There's very little inside that filing cabinet, as early into his career Frank Goodberry decided he probably didn't need to file that much stuff, so he wouldn't bother. It's a bit of a waste of space, to be honest, but his wife insisted he get one. It's been seven years since he had an actual job, a real tangible job, the kind of job that government officials are always trying to tout the numbers of. The kind of job where you get a regular pay check in return for providing some kind of service, such as working in a shop or filling things with concrete. Frank Goodberry hasn't had one of those jobs for seven years. For the last seven years he has been trying to make it on his own, trying to become self employed, self reliable, self something else. Working for the man no longer interests him, he's had enough of 'the Man', whoever that is. Unfortunately for Frank Goodberry, he's not had a great time of earning money without the interference of 'the Man'.

While this may be encouraged through poor managing, oftentimes your employees aren't strategizing in the right ways.

The Complete List of Student Loan Forgiveness Programs and Options
I dropped out of college, which I don't regret. I didn't have to pay anything, since I was given a full ride to the college I attended. However, I've seen the effects of what student loans do to people who have graduated — as well as dropouts who didn't get the same luxury as I did.
