I am aiming to become a hired gun.
I started with the company as a contractor in a “home office” which is what they call the big city, main hub offices. I then became a company employee before joining the world of project job sites. I soon became part of the group known as “{Insert Company Name} Marines” which means you have basically made yourself available (whether or not you are aware of it) to go wherever, whenever and for however long as is required by the company. This is an unofficial title mind you.
I have now since progressed beyond that by handing in my resignation. I’m no longer a Marine but I have all intension of coming back from time to time to help out where they need cover support. Not only here but on all sorts of projects around the world as and when they require but more importantly, as and when I am available to do so.
The benefits are endless. I get to fly for my Commercial Pilots License for 8 weeks and then go and work for 2 weeks which will subsidize my training. I still get to travel quite a bit to build my frequent flyer mileage and still see the world. It’s good money without the commitment of having to be somewhere on a full time job. The company benefits as well since they can have me, an experienced employee that knows their systems, has all admin rights, knows the job setups and can put up with a lot of crap, and all of this on standby for as and when they need me. Within reason. I become their company IT Mercenary. The hired gun laptop!
This can work well with a good symbiosis and is being advertised to business groups within the company around the world.
I am looking forward to this.
I think you just wanna be called a marine/hired gun…me thinks now, thats why you quit!!! i am on to you!

KT - My mai thais have tied themselves for as long as my mai thais care to remember… *rubs summin else but doesn’t quite pull off that contemplative look*
Lou - Hell yeah! It’s called being in control of your destiny and getting ummmm “The Best Of Both Worlds”. Whoop Whoop!
