[AccessD] Move to C# - last post

Much agreed. After I ran my own business for a number of years, being under
someone management was almost intolerable...

A lot of stuff that had to be done on site or the client wanting it done on
site has changed in the last few years...and that is great. I do work back
east for a variety of clients... the farthest one away, being Florida. My
son-in-law works for a single client in London and lives on the coast here.

I do find that customers like to see you show up once in a while, even
though everything is getting done, seeing your pretty face gives them the
warm and fuzzes. ;-)

I would agree with this for the most part.
However, if you get an employment "deal" that has flex hours and is not
rigid as far as "you must be here every day from 8 to 5", then it MIGHT
work.
Also, if the commute is short, that helps as well.

I had a contract this summer....brutal commute...2+ hours per day.
I now have a work-at-home contract....and man, I am loving it.
My "white knuckle" days are over....
