USNRET Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) With Boxx as a moderator it would be a new meaning of "going to the principal's office" or would it? Edited August 8, 2014 by USNRET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I think it would mean the old meaning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Love your stuff Mung. Can you travel, or is this type of business just too local due to trusted subs, etc? Thanks! We typically don't travel too far from Portland, with the coast being about as far as we'll go. Anything that distance or further means living away from home during the week, which can be a blessing or a curse. Our design team is less limited, with projects in Hawaii, and as far away as Morocco. It's very satisfying to work on this end of the spectrum, with some designs being built in the $2000 per square foot range. Not for everybody's pocketbook, and nothing speculative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 My wife and I are in the Iron and steel business, she irons, and I steal. No all bs aside, Service manager at a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram store. I guess the other half of the story is what our significant others do as well. My wife is the manager of the medical records department at a local hospital. There would be no disposable income or elaborate (to me anyways) audio systems in our house on a single income. We've been truly blessed as I've never been to college and my wife went 2 years through a vocational nurses program yet we can pay the bills and have a little left over for hobbies and the occasional travel. We have kind of the same thing going on, but I am a shop supervisor kind of in between a service writer and a service manager. Though our service manager sucks and has no idea whats going on. I work for a CAT rental store, and my wife works for medical institute as a finance analyst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 In our encore careers, my wife and I own a small business. The hours are flexible but long. It's nice being the bosses, but we're also the bossed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanm84 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 In our encore careers, my wife and I own a small business. The hours are flexible but long. It's nice being the bosses, but we're also the bossed. Comes with the territory. My dad got out of the corp race and opened his own construction business in 1992 and he lamented over the same thing-being the boss and being bossed. I worked for him for years and we had a great time working together and the people who you built for just took it all out of you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
