I had two very good employers. The first was installing computer control systems to run a pair of chemical plants they were constructing. I worked with two other extremely intelligent, competent, and dedicated people as more or less an equal in programming an operator interface with the computer. We traveled a lot and had a lot of fun together. That was thirty five years ago and we still communicate occasionally. After two years I was offered a job with a consulting firm.
I was at that job for nine years travelling around the country working on computers and “cleaning up other people’s messes.” It was like changing jobs every couple of months. The people at that job were even better than at the first. I have been truly blessed to have worked at those two places.
After leaving the second job, I got married and messed around at a variety of things for about twelve years before starting a business which I still own today, although I only work about six hours a week, mostly from my home. I have employees to do most of the work and all the things difficult for the “ADD compromised.”
I’ve had several expensive “failures” in business and investing, but overall am living a life of which many would be envious. (I hope you guys don’t hate me for it.) I have, I suppose, like most others on this site varied experience which I feel allow me to give insights and advice in certain areas and although I am in need of the same in others.
I enjoy reading the posts from everyone and wonder from day to day how all of you are managing. I hope you all survive the holidays and have a new year that brings only good into your lives.
