Japan

Looks like everyone's in winter mode.

Haven't been on in a while, just got back from Japan. Another business trip over there. Looks like I picked up 3 new jobs over there. I'll have to hire 7 new people to do the work.

If this keeps up I will have to close up or really minimize my landscape business.

I'll have to see.
 
what type of work are you doing over there? not sure about up there but down here the landscaping is just picking back up, bottom fell out in 08,09. the guys that had abandoned their maintenance contracts almost went under
 
My landscape business is doing good but with the amount of trips I'll have to take to Japan I will be gone too much to oversee quality. I did the numbers and hiring a guy to oversee QA I don't like the % of profit so it may just be the correct time to look at downsizing.

90% of my landscape business was 10-12 month contracts so I didn't have to worry about seasonal business.

I'm a Program Manager that is writing technical instructions and then entering the document in a program for the Japanese to accomplish ship repair.

So that's a 2 part job. Then I'm supplying butt's in a seat to do program input and supplying a Work Integration to monitor progress of contractor work.
 
LOL I can always use a good person.

I bet he's a hard worker especially if he knows he'll get a foot up his a$$ LOL
