My friend, Paul, told me that times are so bad right now that he is only able to clinch one project at a time. A couple of years ago, he had to handle a total of six projects concurrently. Back then, he was complaining that he was so pressed for time that he could hardly breathe. Now, he's telling me that he is so free, he doesn't know how to spend his time.
It's funny, isn't it, that when we have something, we don't appreciate it. Now that it's lost, we miss it. However, the economy is such that it comes and goes in circles. Now is the time that he should go on a vacation after the rush when he didn't have time to breathe. Now is not the time to hold out for that single project, though his workers still need to feed their families.
When Paul told me ecstatically that he managed to secure a project, I asked him if he was positive that he would be able to receive payment for his work. Would he need the help of a Collection Agency? Having worked for this client before proves nothing. That's history and its financial situation may have changed.
Paul laughed and said that I am thinking too much. LOL Perhaps!
