That's why I do the consulting thing. When I get tired of the bs one place I just look for a new contract. My current contract is awesome but it's so far from my house. Topeka is full of tight shirts like you speak of WE and I hate the corporate red tape. But unless you can be self employed you gotta deal with it most of the time.
That's why I am doing a new MLM venture. This time its a consumable product that I really believe in. Plus since I have been using the stuff a couple of guys said I look younger. Heck if that didn't sell me nothing will.
Hopefully it will pan out and I can tell the corporate america to take a hike.
I was able to get on disability and survive long enough to decide what to do that would give me an income and the free time I wanted.
I have found it. Launched July 19, 2006. OnWatch Technologies. If worked properly, we will make 100k by September. No employees. Sub contracting some of the work. We (my partner and I) just make presentations and oversee the work. Pretty cool. We hope to be nationwide next year. If we aren't, I'll vent then.

Been there, Watersedge. Good luck. Just make sure you know what's on the other side of the fence before you jump.
I'll say a little prayer. :)

Man, I quit venting a long time ago.
I was able to get on disability and survive long enough to decide what to do that would give me an income and the free time I wanted.

Congrats, Waters. I know you made the decision that was best for you, and in the end, that's all that matters.
Besides, you'll probably own the new company before the year is out!
Cheers!

thanks for the encouragement very much appreciated and needed
start my new adventure tomorrow with a new company, a new outlook
and refreshed attitude
i will still do what i do best, trim carpentry, but with much more emphasis placed on
qaulity of work rather than qauntity
maybe now i can cope my joints instead of rough fits caused by speed work
i put the keys to the tool trailers on the project managers desk, handed in my resignation and said
goodbye to those who worked with and for me that was the hard part
did not burn any bridges behind me, yet i know "that"
bridge won't be crossed over by me again.
thanks all for the support

to a better destinatiion. :)
Took guts (conviction), to do that -- Good luck!
