Enjoying The Flow


Current business status, steady as she goes. most of the time i am uncomfortably trying to satisfy all customers, running around like an a-hole. but occasionally, just occasionally all things flow nicely, just the right amount of work to keep everyone happy. unfortunately this feeling of FLOW usually only lasts a couple of days, then its back to normal, desperately trying to keep a dozen balls up in the air without droping any. ps, getting married sat, 100 people at my place for party!!!!!!!!

Re: Enjoying The Flow


You sure picked an 'interesting' place to HM. Hope you keep up on events over there and have a really good time. Eastern Europe, Croatia & Egypt, I have contacts at in case of any troubles arising. Crusing as on a ship or you actually gonna' stroll around? Been in that neck of the woods before?

I feel like I am always chasing the paperwork.... I'm sure that is par for the course for most contractors...

Re: Enjoying The Flow


Congratulations...

Just a bit of food for thought.

Do not walk around critiquing and sizing up ALL the Architecture you see. I know it may be hard, just look at it from the eyes of a Honeymooner and not a Tradesman.

Your new Bride will thank you for it. You will be more "there".
