Closing Down...
My last day as my own Boss... for now, at least
A couple of weeks ago, my mobile rang while I was on site, somewhere &, not recognising the number, I figured it was a client, so answered in my professional manner which turned out to be a good idea, as it was the owner of a flooring store who was looking for, well in a nutshell, he was looking for me - someone with flooring sales, measuring, estimating, project managing experience & lots of it. Cutting to the 'Show me the money' part of the conversation, he pretty much made me an offer I couldn't afford to refuse... so I didn't & I start tomorrow
I may keep myself available on an ad-hoc basis for at least one of my now ex-contracts, but it will depend on how busy I get, where the job is & what time of day I can get to it. While I've definitely enjoyed the best working relationship I've ever had with a company owner over the last 15 months or so (I don't yell at me if I'm late, I don't get upset with me if I'm abrupt with people, I'm very flexible with holidays & time off...), the income stream has been a bit iffy, so it will be good to get back to a guaranteed figure at the end of every week
