Them winds of change are blowing


Ever had a boss resign on you? I did last week and I'm not sure how I feel about it.

So most all of you know what I do. If you don't, ask me some time. If you don't know me, lets just say I am a programmer in the government sector. Hm, that makes me sound all subversive like I work for a spy agency or something... Too bad I don't.

Anyway, my boss resigned last week because she is going to help her husband manage his construction company. Her last day is next friday. I think we are all screwed here. Such is life though.

I can't say I blame her at all because if I was in her position and my family lived in the cities, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to go work at my family's company (which coincidentally is construction). It would be so much fun! I would get to hang out with my parents and older brother, we could take family vacations, and generally have a good time all the while making a living at something we all have a common interest in.

Of all the people I know that work in a family business, 100% of them really enjoy it. Granted the evidence there is anecdotal, chances are pretty good that most would enjoy it. I just wish Mankato was closer to the cities because I really like living here and I doubt my parents will be moving the company anytime soon.

So any of the readers work the family business and do you like it? If you don't have a family business, what would you like it to be if you did?
