What exactly is your business now, Tex, other than givin' people here the bidness from time to time?
Oil & Gas mainly, but I have more than one...a consulting biz, an O&G products and services biz, a software development biz, and a motorcycle biz. Currently looking at another one...buying a sailboat a chartering it out of Key West...would give me an excuse to winter there

Brilliant!!! I love entrepreneurs and have the utmost respect and admiration for entrepreneurism, but due to my vocational background, that is by necessity or I'd be experienced in the practice of self-loathing.

Way to go Fred I am sure it will help your health in the long run, I have worked for a prick off a boss for the last 20years at times I feel like kicking the sh*t out off him.
By the way I have been self employed for the last 20years.
Hey, I work for that guy as well!
The slave driving louche works me too many hours as well.
It's all been said by the others mate,..
Never look back..or go back in life.
You have just quoted my life's rules and it works ..... keep moving on and enjoy every freaking day no one will do it for you. Happy days

As some of you may remember from earlier postings I have not been happy at my job for some time. We got bought by a big cooperative from Canada several years ago, and it's been downhill ever since. When I getting ready to off for cancer treatment I was told my role would be changing some. Didn't give it to much thought. When I came back I found I had been demoted to line mechanic. I had been an automation specialist for about ten years prior. Always got good reviews and a raise every year. I came back to find I was right back where I started 19 years earlier, 2nd shift line mechanic. There was one prick from this new company who took a dislike to me. Never did get an answer out of him why. I can only assume I must look like a guy he caught banging his wife. Anyway I landed a job 11 miles from my house (the old job was 37). They matched my rate of pay, I'm back in automation and back on first shift. They have better insurance and better 401K match. The only downside is having been at the other place so long I had 5 weeks of vacation. Only two now, they don't negotiate vacation time. I may have to miss RAA 10
Stick it to the Man!! World needs more people like you Fred. Glad you're happy dude

my ex-boss just called to tell me he was having his attorney hit me with a law suit for violation of a no compete clause I signed when I went to work for him. I said, Bring It On Big Boy. He said he was going to see that he makes me as miserable as possible. Lawdy I am quaking in my boots. The operation will have to remain shut down for some time however and y'all will have to get squeezins from somewhere else because he is a nasty little rich ***** and Iwould not put it past him to do other nasty deeds. Range war on the horizon for me. Spoiled child. Grow up, go away.
