I woke up this morning in a bit of a tither. For the last few months I have been struggling with my career.

For those who don't know me, I have been working in the IT industry for a little over 14 years. It started when I was in the Canadian Navy when there wasn't even the term Information Technology.

I have been through it all. I was even one of the founding engineers of the very frist internet company in Alberta. Even Telus wasn't in the areas we were at the time.

But I have reached the saturation point in my career. I don't care if you can't get your email. I don't care if you can't open a site. I don't care PERIOD! I don't fucking care anymore, you broke it, you fix it.

Not a good attitude huh? I know.

Now I am struggling with what I should do. I have lots of skills and some of them I should be able to incorporate from what I learnt in the military.

But I woke up and it hit me. The wall, I woke up so fast that I got up on the wrong side of the bed and hit the wall instead.

Then I had an idea.

I am going to become a PIRATE!!

I can run a boat up and down the rivers and pillage. I like the hours (work when you feel like it), I like being outside and I can wok on my tan at the same time.

Just to be even more devistating, I am going to wear speedos!

On the down side, the goverment doesn't like competition so they might frown on that. But fuck'em.

I don't know what I am going to use for weapons. Guns are too loud for me, and I don't like swords because I would cut myself on them.

Like I said, I just woke up and started to figure this out. I'll have to sort it out. Maybe crowd source it.

If I can figure out the business model, I might even franchise this.

But just a warning.. If your on the Saskatchewan River don't be surprised to see me.
