Late last week I met with one of the two people who motivated me to re-think my purpose in a corporate job that had gone on far too long. A talented, creative, very bright and lacking convention guy he said "So why did you stop." Certainly I did not want my son to be right. I'm the parent. I know better.
A part time job did interfere with not having a job. Working that 15 or 20 hours per week has become someone consuming of some of my creative inclinations and a bit of a stone wall. It has reminded me of the problems of organizations, conflicting goals, and worse than everything else, people. My goal in the PT job is very clear...find my replacement. It's a consulting job. Never will I be an employee again. Perhaps a consultant. The only person I'm 'reporting to' or 'working for' is yours truly.
With that, this is a blog re-start.
