Happy July 4th

OK, there's only 5 minutes left of July 4th here. I'm a bit late aren't I? Better late then never.

I was tempted to resurrect the cop video with him singing the national anthem. But that drove me crazy after a while with the stupid video playing it over and over again. So I'll spare you all the trouble.

Work is ok. It's not incredibly busy right now but I DO have work. I don't know if I've conditioned myself to thinking if I'm not shitting bricks with an overload of work, I'm not doing enough? Anyway, I'm antsy for more work. Beyond the projects I have to keep me busy for now, I got 2 luke warm big projects that look promising. I really hope I get those although I'm long accustomed not to consider a job mine until I get that signed contract. It's hopeful and I got my fingers crossed.

I really have to save save save now. With a wedding coming up next year to finance and a few trips to visit my fiance between now and then, I really got to crunch down and keep going. I adopted a slogan that my brother's girlfriend uses... "No Fucking Around." I printed that up nice and big and I posted that slogan right next to my monitor and on my front door. Any means of motivation works.... there's certainly nobody else around me to remind me so I have to tell myself don't I?

I certainly find myself a nervous wreck more often than not these days. I don't know how any business owner cannot be constantly in this worrying state. I suppose the experienced business owners learn how to quell this feeling, or they're simply insane and don't care about it at all.
