he had a very small..


well i got the last crummy section done on the ghia today,had kind of a screwed up day,cuz of errands and b.s.,taxes and what have you,i been tryin to not get aggravated lately,like on sunday,the one day at the shop where you'd think you can work in peace ininterupted,well,i get to the shop,right as i get out of my truck a guy pulls up and wants some welding done,takes about an hour n a half,while he's there i hear a car honkin its horn.my shop is in a private complex with a gate.so people pull up and lay on  the horn till i come out.
the last place our shop was located,i painted the windows black and locked the door..people would stand out there and beat on the door and i would just ignore them till they left.
they knew i was in there cuz they could hear me,and my truck was parked out front.what i cant come to grips with,is how do you run a business in which you ate the only one who can do what people are paying you to do,without actually having to interact with the customer???
seriously,some days i get an hours worth of work done in 9 hours!!i watch on tv,big name builders..they hang out in the office while they have a bunch of drones down in the shop doin all the work...originally they themselves obviously did all the work...after they reached a certain level of success they migrated to a comfy chair and a telephone.
but that is not me..the only reason i do this,is because customizing fullfills me and intrigues me...i dont have a long term plan of eventually paying an employee to do what i do...that will never happen,and to be honest,i have no idea how it can happen to others who call themselves customizers...
wow, when i started this blog today,i jhad no idea i was gonna go on a rant!
