Apart from making bows, I throw smart arse drunks through locked gates:D Who say's ya can't have fun at work:p
I spent nearly 15yrs in the construction industry.....managing projects from $.75M to over $70M. I was hired by a company that has developed sound attenuating products for the construction industry, to introduce their products to the parties responsible for specifying them into future projects. I just developed and submitted a program to the AIA (American Institute of Architects - CES Div.), for accreditation, that now allows me to go into their (architects) firms......and educate them on the various construction means/methods to achieve their sound attenuation requirements. They receive continuing education credit. Our products receive exposure. Win-win. Given my background, interaction with architects has always been a pseudo-adversarial endeavor (at times). I still find it intimidating (to a degree) that "I" am educating them......at their craft.....lol. This program (AIA/CES), I'm finding, has endless potential for many companies providing goods/materials/services to the industry. I'm already devising ways in which I could make this a consultative, entreprenurial endeavor (doing the same thing for several comapnies). I'm presenting my program once or twice a day.......2-3 days a week (with 1-2 days of administrative/scheduling work thrown in each week). I make my own schedule.....which I love. If I play my cards right.......I can see the day when I'd do nothing but schedule 2-3 folks to do what I now do.....and I'd simply handle the administrative end.
player development for the bears, helping guys off the field. continuing edu, financial edu, 2nd career plans & player assistant services (managing off-field life) some get it, some dont, but never want a guy to say after football has used his body up, "there wasn't someone there for him/me"
I currently work on a military base as a govt. contractor. I hope to be hired on as civil service soon, so I can do the same thing that I already do, just with a cooler title... lol
admirable isaiah!!! my uncle does a little of this for the titans, holds some seminars for the rookies to get them started...
Do you guys make any motor parts for CAT? Reason I ask Is CAT discontinued their diesel motors just lately because of emissions I guess.
As for myself I'm self employed. I own and run a milk hauling business. Myself, one full time employee and one part time employee pick up milk from the local dairy farms In the area and haul that to a cheese plant called First District Association http://firstdistrict.com/index.htm which makes cheese, whey products, butter. We (my truck) haul over 6 million pounds of milk to this plant a month. 17 hour days, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. If I'm not driving my truck, I'm doing something related to my business. 80 hours a week Is a normal week for me. When I hit the 90 to 100 hour mark a week, that's when I get growly. I hate my job In the winter. Picking up milk In a snow storm Is a real ***** and dangerous and working In minus zero temps sucks as well!!
