Random thought, but what does everyone do for a living?

What have you done, what has lead you to where you're at now, are you happy? What do you have ambitions to do?

Hahah good sense of humor, thanks for your honesty.

I'm a small business owner myself and just had my first child (son) and find myself at a crossroad on what to do with myself, career and finances..

Fuck petunias...minature roses planted in the ground...drip irrigation to lower your water bill (whenever you spray water through the air you lose dougble digit amounts due to evaporation and missed spray.)  Plant them in a tomato cage.  cutting the parts that get too long...this will make it bush out and bloom...spray with an insecticide labeled for use on roses...when the blooms are spent, cut them off to encourage fresh blooms...use a soil moisture content meter to know when to irrigate...there are modules that will do this automatically.

Edit:mulch!...mulch! I fuckin' forgot about mulch...be sure to use mulch!

And be creative about what kind of mulch you use.... why not make a loved one part of your garden?  Forever...... ....

"WHAT WE DO

The Urban Death Project is researching an innovative new system of death care that honors both our loved ones and the planet earth. This system - called Recomposition - transforms bodies into soil so that we can grow new life after we die.

We are laying the groundwork so that someday, people will be able to choose recomposition instead of cremation or burial. Eventually, we hope there will be places in our cities where we can return our loved ones to the earth naturally.

You can help us build a future where every human death creates deep and lasting ecological wealth."

Somedays you own the business, some days it owns you. Managing people is the worst part of it, that and the fact that your $12 an hour guy has your phone number just like your $30 and hour guy. I have 29 employees right now and it's the worst part about owning a business. If I could clone myself and some of my other people, I'd cut a quarter of my workforce.  :-\

Hell I got 3 jobs. Own a company, run IT/billing in my parents business, work as needed in one of my brothers companies doing some business functions. All related fields but different so no conflict of interest.

Who cares.... I have a lifetime worth of winning. I have already sold my soul to the devil.

I will just enjoy the upcoming NFL season, with no expectations.

Because it's up to the PM & install techs to perform magic by implementing all the promises made by the salesperson in an unreasonable time-frame within budget, without change orders, all outside of normal business hours.  >:(
