I work for me.  After being on my own since 1981 (except for 2 jobs, 3 
years, and the other recent one, Texchine, Inc. for 1 /75 years) I have 
been self employed.  I am on the laundry side, many times working with 
chemical jockeys, as we used to call them.  I have no plans on selling 
myself into being a bond-servant ever again!
