not sure which part I like best - probably the freedom to pursue clients I enjoy working with and not having a manager breathing over my shoulder the whole time.

I really enjoy the chickens, goats, and cows. They keep me company.

The pay and flexibility and the overall mission of the organization.


I am not a super fan of traveling for work. I rather stay where I am unless its to somewhere really cool where I have lots of free time to see sights. (this is only of course for in US, not abroad)

I could also say the go-kart racing, but we haven't had that at all lately, and I don't have a cart of my own to work on.

The quickness with which i walk out after i clock out. It is then when i think "Oh damn my time is so valuable gotta fucking do what i can before I have to come back" then i proceed to not do shit for like 12 hours

I was talking about voluntary travel. Which, amazingly enough, is still pleasurable after the amount of involuntary travel I do.

Absolutely no work away from the office.

right now? summer.

During the school year, just talking to my kids is pretty fantastic. Together we make connections between 100 different things and our literary discussions.

Working with passionate, idealistic, energetic people is a big change from retail work.

The part I enjoy the most is being left alone in the early morning hours; driving around, nobody awake listening to tunes for hours on end and occasionally coming across things you could never imagine.
