AZ taking the call after a short break for lunch
rain snow sleet
not just for the post man the urban pony express lives it too
fewer workers on a rainy can mean more work for those who are hungry or dedicated enough to show up for work on the crappy days that is... if they are working commission
that is an arguement for a messenger to answer maybe a lifer would be able to answer this better than me watching from inside my warm dry office with heath benefits and 401K
there is a paradox of time and money
time to take vacations but no money to pay for them
I wish I had more freedom to take vacations but I like what my golden handcuffs have brought me
the more established that a messenger gets the more money they tend to make but the more established messengers are successful with their jobs because they treat them as jobs maybe less freedoms maybe showing up early maybe staying late just like any other job

the industry of the messenger is complex
the more established that a messenger gets the more money they tend to make
but
the more established messengers are successful with their jobs
because they treat them as jobs
maybe less freedoms
maybe showing up early
maybe staying late
just like any other job
those who succeed make sacrifices
freedom is usually the first thing we sacrifice
in life there is correlation between achievement and sacrifice
in all that we do
