Working 9 to 5, Is It The Way To Make A Living?
O.K. so my hours are more flexible than just 9 to 5 but I can't help thinking that it would be great to escape that mundane rat race and earn a big enough monthly income to work from home.
Having said that, I don't want to turn this lens into another one of those 'Earn Thousands Working From Home' sites, I will just be sharing a few of my random thoughts related to working 9 to 5, if you are really interested in Squidoo and the possibility working from home then check out the link above, Janet21 has a far better page than I could ever do!

'9 to 5' And 'Mamma Mia' - Niche Marketing At Its Best?
Both songs are associated with films and stage musicals, although they did things in a different order, they both show that money can be made from one thing with a little diversity within your niche.
Dolly Parton - The Queen Of Counrty Music And The Ultimate Business Woman
Just Look At Dolly Parton to illustrate my point about diversifying to make a business work.
Dolly Parton is one of country music most recognisable icons and has been for nearly 4 decades now. You only have to say the name "Dolly" and everyone immediately thinks of Dolly Parton! She has a wonderful, bubbly personality, a unique voice, her singing is full of emotion, and can be a very humorous lady.
Dolly Parton is a not just the complete all round entertainer though... she is a very astute business woman. Apart from breing a great singer and songwriter she acts, produces, writes books and has her very own theme park, Dollywood.... She's diversified and done it all!

9 To 5 and Odd Jobs
Dolly Parton Album Featuring The Song 9 To 5
Dolly Parton was a crossover superstar when she recorded this album--the infectious title song, which she wrote, was the theme from the movie of the same name, in which she made her acting debut. Not suprisingly, much of the album is chartoriented state-of-the-art early '80s pop fluff, but Parton still finds time to flash her country and folk roots.
Standout tracks include a terrific cover of Mel Tillis' "Detroit City", a riveting version of Woody Guthrie's classic migrant worker anthem "Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)", a surprisingly fresh take on "House of the Rising Sun", and an impassioned run through of Merle Travis' "Dark As a Dungeon".

9 To 5 The Movie
9 to 5 - Sexist, Egotistical, Lying Hypocritical Bigot Edition - Widescreen
Amazon Price: $12.49 (as of 01/06/2010)
What's on the "Sexist, Egotistical, Lying Hypocritical Bigot Edition" DVD of one of the more enduring comedies of the 1980s? The cast were obviously delighted for the opportunity to travel down memory lane, providing a commentary. Dolly Parton and Lily Tomlin recorded their bits in one city while Jane Fonda recorded hers simultaneously in another city, as they watched the movie again together. The three leads--one, Parton, a rookie actress--made for a well-balanced comedic team whose friendship has endured off-screen for 25 years, a friendship that comes across in their banter. A "Nine At 25" featurette finds the cast and producer dishing such tidbits as the fact Parton came to the set having memorized the entire script, everyone else's parts included.

Bosses are human - some good, some bad. They have a huge impact on your job satisfaction, your day-to-day happiness, your workload - and yes - your paypacket. If you're lucky they will be understanding, supportive, encouraging and inspiring. Then again they might be lazy, unmotivated, weak, over-emotional, sarcastic, rude, or just downright - well - bossy. But you're no powerless victim.When it comes to your boss, then you're more in control than you think. It's a case of understanding what makes them tick, why they react as they do, and then approaching situations in the right way to get the best out of your boss. Here's how.
