I semi retired . I get up at 230am leave the house at 3am
Got to my office by 4-415am and work till the earliest 8pm or the latest 10 pm that night. Some times 7days a week. But I never wanted for nothing! If you weren’t born with that silver spoon up your a— or my father used to say,
The kick start program. (Family has money) you have to make the sacrifices and work for it. I got to semi retire in Florida at 45. And I am 65 be 66 in August. Some people are born workers (like Gary, Huey , Doctor Doug and a good majority of the misfits that I talk to)some people just want to play?
Enough said. Pete

Oh, it was fascinating, offshore oil rigs in the Gulf, gold mines in the Artic, annual supply ships to Arctic Circle, copper mines in Arizona and South America, petrochemical plants, pulp & paper mills, floating dry docks, heavy industrials, orbiting communications satellites, computer and wafer fab manufacturing all over the world, military ship yards... But, it came at a price. Seeing people at midnight at a night club across the street from my office and thinking "what's wrong with this picture", not going to sleep at all twice a month, regularly emailing clients at 2 AM in the morning, just before going to sleep for a few hours and then being in the office again at 0900, working until after midnight on 4th of July while friends and neighbors partied. It cost me a marriage and, ultimately, my health. I would do it again.

If I get by under 80 hours a week I feel like I did something wrong.
