OOOOOHHHH... me too? I think I could make that work, right?...My goal is to not set foot in the office more than 6 times between now and December 31, 2023.
Right. I delivered over 300 pieces today. How many drones would that take and how much weight can they carry?Drones FTW!
It's not a question of where he grips it, it's a matter of weight ratios. A 4 oz bird cannot carry a 1 lb coconut!Right. I delivered over 300 pieces today. How many drones would that take and how much weight can they carry?
...With C19, I would say 90% of my presentations have been Skype from my desk at work... We JUST resorted back to limited occupancy conference rooms which means more Skype and possible Zoom presentations.
Work that angle to the fullest! Being it can be an inconvenience for an employer, I’d throw in some $incentive to grease it up. In fairness, going remote is like a raise.I’ve become a professional PowerPoint presenter for NGC. I own the Process Improvement Program for the Aeronautics Sector. My job is to design tools and training for process improvement. With C19, I would say 90% of my presentations have been Skype from my desk at work. 10% have been “on location” presentations in Auditoriums or training classrooms. We JUST resorted back to limited occupancy conference rooms which means more Skype and possible Zoom presentations.
My goal is to convince them there is no reason I can’t do what I do from any remote location which would lead to heading off to NorthWest Arkansas early. Put in maybe another year and retire already settled.
A guy can dream, can’t they?
(yeah… it’s 3:00am. Not enough sleeping right now)
Nothing has changed for me. I still don't go in to work and I still don't work from home. I'd gladly join the work force again doing something that is fun/enjoyable **IF** the employer would be willing to work around my riding and "being out of town" schedule which is highly unlikely. Okay, need to get off thew computer and go ride to get my legs ready for 5 days in Hurricane later this month
Sorry for a bit of a derail....but just curious why LV area isn't working out. I'm beginning to search for good spots to move to in a year or two when I retire and LV has always been in the back of my mind. Thanks!Curious to know what professions you gents that are working from home are in. I would VERY MUCH like to be a work from home guy and I am working on getting there. Not so much because I don't like the commute, it's only 5 minutes each way. I wat to work from home so we can move out of the Vegas area. After close to 18 months we already know we do not want to stay here. Utah has been calling our name since before we left Cali.
Kevin, it's creative work here – graphic design and writing. These industries might be a little ahead of the curve for remote employment. Data transfer is usually not an issue; it could be for video and even for some print work, but it's improving with time and technology. Ideas fly over the net, so I try to nudge things in that direction versus heavy lifting of pixels. Easier on the wrist, too.Curious to know what professions you gents that are working from home are in. I would VERY MUCH like to be a work from home guy and I am working on getting there.

Tiger Woods.good stuff @buggravy hoping you have clear canyon roads ahead. Who wouldn't enjoy that drive?
I’ve been tethered to a office and a shop floor myself, and get jealous at the folks who can work anywhere. But for sure, don’t walk away from that gig without some serious thinking. Now at almost age 52 I’m realizing that I could actually consider changing jobs in 3 years, and even not working in 7-9. A lot of my coworkers are just ahead of me, and are retiring for two months but planning to come back on 20-30 hr/week contracts. Some are looking for work that doesn’t make them come in to the office, and some are saying it’s enough and just living off their investments.Friend of mine works some sort of legal stuff. She does the part time #vanlife thing, rock climbing all over the place.
I wish I could figure out how to do a job like that. But I am an industrial mechanic with a union job and pension, I'm terrified about walking away from this gig!
That said, while I can be at work in a little over 20 minutes on the motorcycle, the hour commute on my bicycle works. In the very least I get to ride my bike every day, base miles, and not have to deal with traffic. I feel less stressed about idiots on the road compared to the van.
Well there's a good example of what's going on across the country! Reasons for labor shortages, "the great resignation" phenomenon. Crazy how so many things are unpredictableI’ve been tethered to a office and a shop floor myself, and get jealous at the folks who can work anywhere.

I can't tell you how often I think about that in my ambulance!I have a recurring vision now...one afternoon, my F350 finally says "enough" and decides to tattoo the idiot who just cut me off.
I can think of only one person who has quit my work. LOTS of people threatening due to the vaccine requirement, but only one actually left (though a lot of people suddenly became "religious" ). I think only one took the offered retirement package during the height of the slowdown...after working here for 40+ years (45 I think)."the great resignation"
I have tried the greener grass a few times, never worked out. Only way I am leaving here now is if something special happens. I am seriously considering starting flight school in a year, but I have always dreamed of getting my license. If all goes well I am young enough to go commercial and still come out ahead. But I could just settle for having a PPL and enjoy flying on occasion, just like I do occasionally riding the motorcycle.don’t walk away from that gig without some serious thinking
If I could figure out a way to do inspections from home, I would.
until then, I gotta continue to not work from home.
