1. All I see is a money begging site.

Can't do anything without hitting a donate button.

4. As with most popups...

...the one that comes up on the page in question has a little "x" up in the right hand corner. You just hit the little "x" to close the popup and continue on into the site where you can take the survey.

This has been a public service announcement.

11. Thanks.

The quiz is kind of fun and makes a good point.

3. I have one slave working for me

And that's me.

I'm self-employed and don't charge enough or underestimate the complexity of a job and make little profit. I probably make less than minimum wage on many of the projects I do.

When I wise up and increase my rates customers often want to negotiate it down. I'm tempted to give up my self imposed slavery and get a real job.

6. You are not the only one

I had spent most of my productive time for years organizing work for my two employees who often make more than me on some projects.
I am finally at a point where I have increased my own rates and profit and I give the credit to my employees for the fine work they perform and the reputation they have given us.

8. Mine aren't making me any damn money.

The miracle of capitalism. Or is it the invisible handjob of the free market. I can't tell the difference.

9. 37 slaves work for me.

I thought it was going to be 5 or 6.
And I'm pretty much a Regular Joe.
And I don't own a car. Or a house. Or much of anything.
Going to do something about this...

10. 59 slaves work for me. So they say, anyway.

I don't seem to be getting a lot of bang for my slavery buck, all this considered.

Um...so to speak.

12. 32

That's difficult to believe, given that I have a one bedroom apartment and one vehicle. You'd think I'd be tripping over one every time I turned around...
