Self Employed Bystander
      About Me
      I'm Mike, the owner of an athletic development company called HPC. I recently quit my financially secure day job to 1) finish my PhD and 2) take my business full time. It's a risky venture and a major redirection (hence the blog name) in my life. I love food, hate sleep, and want to be my own boss. I have mild OCD and ADD but I will always post, so please come back if you are interested in following this venture and maybe picking up some random bits along the way.

    For some reason I save and published this but it got lost or over-written. Oh well. Let me try to replicate…

    Unless you’ve been in a hole for the past week you know that the economy is in a terrible place and people are losing their jobs left and right. Some of the numbers that President Obama gave in his address last night were just mind blogging. Check out this graph as an example:
    joblosses260911The numbers are staggering. Unemployment rates are near all time high. It makes me glad to be self-empl0yed. I kinda feel like I’m above the fray a bit. Sure, I can fail but if I do it’s my doing. And it’s not like I’m gonna fire myself or anything!
