Painting New Orleans Blog

I work from home as a self-employed artist and being self employed means you come face to face with your limitations.  Here is a performance review I might give myself with tongue in cheek.

Employee Name-Adam K. Hall

The employee named Adam K. Hall is a prima donna creative type who keeps calling off of work for family obligations.  He needs all manner of balms and coddling to be coaxed into work.  He requires time to exercise and eat regular meals in order to keep his mental state up to par.  It is surprising the monstrous amounts of caffeine needed to get him to work at his best.  He cannot listen to music for too long or he becomes agitated, so podcasts are required.  He can't even listen to the news in case there is an earthquake somewhere and he gets too upset to work.  I swear it is like working with a five year old with an easily bruised ego. 

On the other hand he does seem to enjoy painting and he is somewhat productive.  In the future I believe we should steer away from moody artist types if we can, more time is spent keeping him on an even keel than actually working.

Thanks for reading,

Adam K Hall
