I have always talked about working from home. In fact I started working from years ago ,first as a dispatcher for an adult phone company  and then as a customer service representative for a company where  I took orders for informericals. Before you judge me on the adult phone thing , I will have you know I was not a PSO for that particular job I just took the billing information and patched the calls through *ahem*…not my proudest moment lol!

Nonetheless I came across this article where thanks to the White House “Joining Forces” Initiative to support military families eleven companies have agreed to offer work at home positions to military spouses.

Of course the military wife political police are moaning because they are mad that Michelle Obama’s name is attached to this initiative. You know what I don’t have time to worry or whine about something helpful just because I don’t like someone for whatever outlandish reason. As much as I refuse to speak heavy politics on Army Wife 101 that women is not the president and damn it if you want a chance to work from home then focus on that and not how the opportunity came to be. If you are wondering where this vent came on just search through your local Facebook military spouse groups that posted the article and you will find the political band wagoners who complain for the hell of it , even when there is nothing to complain about.

Soapbox over!

I get letters and questions weekly about working from home and here’s the chance to get in on it and most likely receive some military spousal preference. Can’t you just imagine working from home in your drawers oops I mean pajama pants , stopping to eat whenever you want and catching up on a court show or two in the midst of earning some cash?

  3. It is important to use a good quality motor oil such as those approved by the American Petroleum Institute.
    Oil can only hold so much dirt, and whether you do a lot of
    short trips around town or longer distance runs, eventually the accumulated dirt will lead to increased friction. The oil helps lubricate
    the moving parts, helps disperse the heat, improves sealing,
    and helps keep the inside of your engine clean.
