"If I had to do it all over again," said my accountant. When my dad bought me one of the first computers and wanted me to study computers and stick around I would have done it, she said.
"Don't you have one of those? (thoughts)," she added.
Well, yess! Never quit your first job without finding another job! Even if it means you got to spend two months in Costa Rico.
This is of course not a fair question. You do what you do because of a lot of reasons and how you build from your actions and how you view yourself is really the definition of success.
Of course neither one of us robbed banks or served jail time. My answer to the question, what would you do different is probably just a rationalization. There are lots of things I would do different. Starting changing jobs last October, not walking on the ice, and finishing with not going so close to that tree and busting the boom off the sprayer I worked over last week.
And then there is this, "You gave them the best years of your life and they gave you this...," She said somewhat jokingly. (My accountant and I tend to philosophize.) She is a graduate of my former employer and she does not approve of the direction her college has taken.
But, I digress...
I now feel like a real farmer... (This is not because I am sort of depressed.)
My brother took me to a farm meeting and then we went on the Northwest Farm Show which was rescheduled due to freezing rain.
It was interesting to be back in the farming world. There are a lot fewer farmers than I remember.
My leg hurts like sin, but I can't admit it to anyone (meaning my wife) because it was an obviously bad idea to walk on concrete.
This will have to be a second installment as I am out of time for blogging.
