tcpipI've resigned as President, as an executive member, as the Media person and web developer and even as a member for Prosper Australia. This is, mind, having finished a politicians "re-education" pack, a "simple message" leaflet, three websites and giving necessary details for staff members to organise an event.
This is largely due to the inability of one (almost full-time) individual in the organisation to give clear instructions on what they wanted in areas of their responsibility, and their refusual to take direction from others when they had the authority to do so.
So rather than engage in what would be the equivalent of a long and portracted IR dispute, I simply left the organisation. It is probably easier to implement the ideas of Henry George outside the organisation nominally designed for such a purpose.
This does mean that I currently have no permanent work. Financially I am more than OK however; there is close to $10K in my savings account, I have another $20K in "incoming income" (invoices, loans etc) and my rent is paid for the next nine months.
Summer days approach ;-)

Date: 2006-10-27 01:32 am (UTC)I have enough unfinished projects and future plans to do the things that I want to do rather than engage with incompetents. Life's too short for that sort of nonsense.
Besides, there's always plenty of opportunity on the 'net instead....
But first, I have some computer games to finish (kindly and opportunely purchased by

Oh lordy.
I think I'd rather donate ;-)
I could grow a super-thin highly waxed mo, wear some 16th century dapper clothes, carry my rapier around and describe myself as Senhor Leonardo dos Lafayette.

I approve. Out of theme, but perhaps you need to get a persian cat too. Would that mix well with a bunny rabbit and rats though?

There's some good people whom I can still work with and was intending to do so anyway. We have plans.

Good for you re bailing out of your untenable work situation. Take some deep breaths and enjoy your Catharsis.

S. highways and so on. His journal has been a fascinating travelogue if you're into that sort of thing, even if he's wrecked two cars in the process. ;-)

I spent some time way back in 1996 going nomad and it was a lot of fun. Didn't wreck any cars tho'.

I enjoy browsing journals overseas, and over a period of six months, I would frequently come across your journal or you would comment in a community I would be reading on. I find you fascinating and I get a very good feeling from you. would you mind terribly if I added you, it isn't in my nature to simply add someone without asking for their permission first.
Also? congrats on walking away from a job that wasn't serving you, I envy you and your girlfriend for the fur babies you are collecting! I love rat kids and ferrets for the intelligence they possess!

Date: 2006-11-02 12:26 am (UTC)Hell yeah. Welcome aboard.
