Hey, @janton.

Well, well, well! Nice to hear from you. I'm glad I stayed on a little later to catch this now.

Once a week is a good thing, I think, especially if you're not wanting to get sucked back into daily for hours again. I'm glad you found me. I kind of went dark from around August through about the end of November myself last year. Can't seem to get completely past the burnout. Plus, work picking up again didn't help.

re: delegation

Unfortunately, that's a topic I'm not familiar with. Haven't ever tried. Maybe @abh12345 would know better. Just strictly guessing, I would say a curation trail at this point. You could always set up your own terms, too, for smaller accounts. That leaves you making the decisions and periodically checking to see what the accounts are up to.

re: job thing

That sounds like how I and my wife end up agreeing on things. I think it's settled, she sees it more of a woman's prerogative is to change her mind. Except, in her case, I think she sees it more as a mandate, or a force of nature. It's not that she can, therefore she will. It's more like, it's gonna happen, so get over it. :)

re: post

She won't ever read this. Not even if I tell her I wrote it. She doesn't look at government or big business the same way I do. She likes to skip over the if in can't beat them and head straight for the join them. It's not like I think I can beat those Goliaths either, but the last thing I want to do is join them and contribute to their perpetuation.

re: job

There are quite a few aspects to the job that I like, which includes the quasi-autonomy.

I'm okay with the work. The communication is lacking (especially when the general manager gets overwhelmed or frazzled, which is not a lot but enough to be frustrating), and there doesn't seem to be one set way of doing all things. But that's more to the way business is ran or managed rather than the job itself.

My wife wants to quit working. I didn't want her working in the first place, so that's okay, but that means I need to double my salary and have some kind health insurance and 401K.

Good luck with all of that, I say. None of those employers or jobs on that list are going to get me there. Not without some schooling in some instances, and all with some serious networking with people I don't know yet.
