annual interruptus
There's lots of things I'd like to do, especially when compared to
working in a (*@#&$(* cubicle. There are worse fates. During my last venture in the world of working for others, our owners believed in the "open office" setting, to provide "synergy" in the workplace. Thus, all of our desks were in a big room, with nothing but file cabinets demarking our territory. What this meant, in practice, was that very litle work was accomplished. Everyone would walk past, cup of coffee in hand, on the way to fill in the blank, and -- being nice people -- would simply HAVE to say "How's it goin', Jay?" You can't ignore your co-workers, so the ensuing conversations -- times 200 people -- meant that we had a very lively social life in the newspaper, and not a lot of productivity. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

In the engineering world, that setup is called a "bullpen".
Lots of bull going on. Jim There are worse fates. During my last venture in the world of working for others, our owners believed in the "open office" setting, to provide "synergy" in the workplace. Thus, all of our desks were in a big room, with nothing but file cabinets demarking our territory. |

Yup, annual interruptus!
Mid-time Continental IO-520 factory reman... We have 6 jugs to replace for leaking exhaust valves. The valves also have ridges (or lips), so they don't seat properly... and the valve guides are worn. We'll be down for a second week.

Some people cannot envision ever not working. If that's you great, have a good time, but you are a small minority. The vast majority of my retirement will be my money. As soon as I determine enough money is there I will be very difficult to find. I may occasionally work but it will be on my own terms doing something I like. Most of the time I will be having fun. I see a sailboat in my future, flying, golf a condo in the Bahamas. I cannot imagine ****ing away my life working past about 55. I'd really like to be gone by 50. |

55. I'd really like to be gone by 50. I used to feel that way, when I had a job I hated. Now, I can't imagine not working. Playing innkeeper is just too much fun! :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Now, I can't imagine not working. Playing innkeeper is just too much fun! This song always makes me think of you: Charge 'em for the lice, extra for the mice Two percent for looking in the mirror twice Here a little slice, there a little cut Three percent for sleeping with the window shut When it comes to fixing prices There are a lot of tricks he knows How it all increases, all them bits and pieces Jesus! It's amazing how it grows! |

That's a big difference. What you do pays off directly to you. You work hard, you do well (or better). If you choose to go flying you can pay someone else to cover the front desk. At some point you may choose to go flying more and pay someone else more or choose to work more and pay someone else less. For the rest of us we work, we get paid, we work some more. If we exceed the expectations of our performance plans we get an atta boy. Margy |

(They've built two in the last two years...) If you want the freedom of business ownership, you have to be willing to risk everything. Everyone is against you, from the big-box chains to the state and local gummint 'crats. There are few allies in business; the best you can usually hope for is neutrality. Bottom line: If you want the safety of the corporate world, you have to be willing to eat **** every day. You will never starve, but it sure tastes bad sometimes. In my world, even the **** can stop. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
