Outside Territory

From time to time the company for whom I am an agent requests I work outside my territory. Given what they pay me to do these assignments tell me, to them, the assignments aren’t frivolous.

Since my territory assignments come from the same client pool as these outside assignments I try to accommodate the requests. Some, on 4WD mountain developments I decline.

I loathe assignments in Metro Denver. The header picture shows one reason. This shows the same reason in different location.

I don’t do these for the money (but insist on being paid). I do it to help the company keep their clients.

Maybe I’m still in the mode the late Jackie Cooper described as, “Winners do what losers won’t”. Others might say, “Old fools never learn”. Both may be correct.

As always, YMMV. 

Grateful Man

Since I must still work to supplement my retirement, I'm grateful I have work that keeps me out of doors (or in a truck) and allows me to see some of Gods grandest works instead of

being in a windowless room, sharing air with others, answering the damn  telephone, fighting petty turf battles, and attending meetings.

The work can be risky

or cold

but you get to see interesting things.

So I'm a grateful man. I have a job, a job I mainly like, and about the most decent employer I've ever worked for.

Retired? Hah!

Work calls. Another 1,600 mile trip. No blogging or comments for next three days.

Ballot filed yesterday.
