h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

There are those who believe nerds should stay in their cubicles and not venture out except when escorted by the more worldly or socially skilled. The nerd should work for the corporation, protected by the layers of management from any real interference, and get on with whatever technical work makes fat paychecks for all those layers of management and dividend checks for stockholders. Under no circumstances should the nerd act on dreams of starting his own business, least of all a business unrelated to the technical work so necessary to the corporation.

Maybe they're right.

But I have a strange compulsion, so I'm going forward with it anyway.

My paper business files are now in a used 4-drawer filing cabinet that undoubtedly brings much pleasure to Anoia, goddess of things stuck in drawers. I'm still setting up Quickbooks, because I have to look up everything. I have one more government form to fill out. Well, one more that I know about, there may be others.
