[Jester]

technically its her dad's 600ish acres. lol

but it sounds cooler when I say its my land.

wish it was in one spot but it is spread out here and there within a few miles of each other.

[Mike]

I will say that this helps tremendously.

Wish I had a job that I could take days off from!

What? And TX? Since when?

[Mike]

What? And TX? Since when?

I've taken two days off in the past two years, and I spent both of them taking work calls. (I'm sure you can relate)

The TX location thing is actually a joke.

[bcoop]

I've taken two days off in the past two years, and I spent both of them on my phone dealing with work calls most of the day.

I know how that is. I just got back from vacation in Florida. It was the first time I've taken more than 2 consecutive days off in 5 years. And even still, I worked the whole time I was there.

Screw that shit. Vacation time and the moderately decent pay are the only things that keep me at this job.

I'm a workaholic, and while I should be delegating, I don't trust anyone to do things right the first time, regardless of the instruction I give them. The times I have delegated, and let them handle, shit always gets fucked up. I'm trying to get approval on an assistant now. That will be MY person of choice, not who the company wants to hire. No matter how many colossal fuck ups I point out, I have no say in someone getting fired. If I can hire my own assistant, and she fucks shit up, I'll fire her ass in a heartbeat.

I'm sure Brent will agree with this, I wouldn't know what to do if my phone wasn't constantly going. I've got people that work for me in my office, but there is no fucking way I can't count on anyone else to make sure my department hits our goals.

Yep. At the end of the day, I've still got numbers to meet. I've got a set amount I have to meet or exceed every day. My sales goals and quotas aren't adjusted for my time off. And I feel like something is terribly wrong, if my phone isn't ringing and I'm not getting an email every 30 seconds.

You not have any control over the people either? That's another perk of mine. If I can't depend on someone, I replace them with someone I can depend on.
