Pimpin' ain't easy

Just when I start getting excited about my exodus from my job, I have a good day at work.

Today I got to write about a couple who's in trouble with the law because they didn't pay taxes on the money they earned from running an escort service. In the words of Academy Award-winning group Three 6 Mafia, "it's hard out here for a pimp."

Also, I talked to a woman who came up with a creative invention. I asked her how she came up with funding for the business, and she said, "Well, I'm a runner," (at this point I'm thinking that she got some prize money from winning a marathon or 5K) "and last summer I was attacked by a dog while running and got an insurance settlement, and we used some of that money to fund the business." AND, she has three children, one of which is two months old. So, she was pregs and recovering from a dog-attack and still had the motivation to start a business..? I would have resorted to a life of laying on the couch with a bag of Doritos.
