Doing what you love

"Do you know what’s wrong with the French? They don’t have a word for ‘entrepreneur’." - President George W. Bush
Often times, we hear speeches, seminars, books on tape, blah blah blah regarding the same old topic: Do something you love to do.
For the people working on these houses, I have little doubt these people love what they do. Being entrepreneurs in the purist sense of the word, they brave the world every day and make their fortune. There are good days and bad days.
Yet none of these people would trade their lives for anything.
If you were to offer Mikki a cubicle job now, odds are she would hit you on the head with her Hilti hammer. Like a bad version of an Edgar Allen Poe story, you would awaken to find yourself entombed in my wall, drywall over top of you.
When telling someone about my project the other day, something occurred to me. I love creating jobs for people.
Don’t get me wrong. I wouldn’t hire someone unless I needed to. But for the need which I possess, it gives me great encouragement that the people I am hiring love what they are doing.
People enabling people to do great things. What a beautiful concept.
With great anticipation, I look forward to doing this again.

It is time once again for a "not so glamorous" story of the landlord life.

Oh good lord - you need to get out of your cubicle more often. I have a Hilti hammer drill, a Hilti Drywall Screw gun, but a Stanley Anti Vibe Hammer. So when I do hit you, it won’t reverberate up my arm.
It was never the cubicle I minded, but instead, the idiots farther up the food chain than I.
