I unfriend you.

I don't drink. You did use that line on Burnham recently though. We don't have to be drunk to say something you don't like.

For the record, there's no shame in being a solo worker in society. But this cat needs to be humbled and I have no issue helping him with it

I'm good at figuring out who is legit and who is full of shit. I'm not a super great tree worker, but I'm a pretty good judge is character.

Would you say in often completely wrong though?

On the flip side, working alone might be ideal if you can't manage men, can't manage the financial dynamics of payroll, can't provide steady work, have control issues stemming from emotional or social fears, can't handle anyone having an inside look into your company and whether its all its...

Here's food for thought. How often do any of us "lose" money on a job? Real loss measured in dollars. Doing a $500 job and spending $600 between hard cost upfront and silent costs in the background. That's almost insane. I think more often tree rats don't meat their hourly target figures and get...

I'd love to price by the hour. My numbers would be a bit more consistent at the weeks end. I don't seem to get an eager response when I propose it to people. They sort of respond like they don't want to gamble on how long it might take. Because I won't promise them 8 hours. I've said I estimate...

Don't you use a fixed up front bid Fi? Or do bill by the hour?

I don't care if my wife out earns me someday. I hope she does. She's a hard worker and made a lot of sacrifices for my career. She deserves to feel proud and accomplished.

As soon as my wife finishes her degree......

I gotta move to the wilderness...... A few more years and I'm heading for the White Mtns of NH. It isn't wilderness but its good enough for me.

I thought you moved back to a metropolis?

I have a competitor that would pull that shit. I often question scrambling my identity on here a bit better. Alter the username to something other then my nickname and alter the location. One wrong comment could be printed off and used against me.

Probably to keep a bit of a line of privacy. It's actually brilliant. Any vicious competitor could use a lot of our discussions as ammo against us. Mostly discussions like this one and ones related to customer issues or manpower issues.

No one is doing $1600/day alone consistently. It could be pulled off at some point, but couldn't be a consistent number. Competition would explode like a firework if any market could bear a one man show doing those numbers.
