Not quite $170 worth...

So, last night I went to the Bon Jovi concert - they're probably my favorite all-time band! However, last night left me wanting. I paid a pretty penny to get on the floor for this event, as I thought it would be a time to remember for the rest of my days. My heart was heavy when I saw, just over 1.5 of them playing, they were spent. Granted Richy and Tico gave it their all the whole performance; but, to charge $170/seat and not even give a 2 hr show is not classy.
I once went to an Eagles concert, which cost $125/tic. Now, we thought that was expensive! But, when the first song of the night was Hotel California (no opening act - just Eagles all night!) followed by 3 hours of Eagles classics, I left thinking that I can understand why they'd charge what they did. Last night was not the case....

I probably would have felt I'd gotten my money's worth had the tix been closer to $100. So, the lesson I've learned is that it's just not worth going to conferences that cost more that $100. I mean, if I can't get satisfaction from my favorit band of all time, how's anyone else going to live up to that kind of tag? I'll stick w. their canned music for now, I guess.... :(

Too good...

Don't you just hate it when something so good goes so wrong? As I wrote last time, I love my job! However, I can no longer stand my boss. They guy has lied to me too many times that it's time to move on. It really sucks!
However, when one door closes, another inevitably opens, and it looks like I'll be able to get back into the world of self-employment a little earlier than anticipated. I've been introduced to a couple who is eager to mentor not only myself, but also my wife as we work toward building a solid business. I've paid a lot of money over the years to try to get a handle on what this couple knows, and now here they are wanting to give us everything we are looking for... and more! For the first time, both Jenn & I are excited about business together!
It'll take a while before we can jump into this FT, so I'm currently looking for something to pay the bills in the mean time.

In the mean time.....

There are two positions at West Edmonton Mall that sound fun. One would be maintaining the water for all of their attractions (Water Park, Sea Life, Subs, etc), and the other involved suiting up SCUBA-style and cleaning the Sub tank! How cool would that be!!??
The job market is wide open, here, so I am not worried at all about finding gainful employment.

The journey continues...
