To be perfectly honest, I didn’t get much work done today. I spent far more time looking at corvettes. Since it was a Saturday, who can complain. The moral of the story is if your workplace is mobile, you can pick up and go when you want to.
Taking the show on the road
Two brothers bought the fairgrounds in Carlisle, PA, turned it into a car show haven, and do about 12-14 events a year. This weekend was the annual corvette show, a showcase for the vette’s of then and now.

There were vintage racers.

And, just plain vintage. Little do the owners of this vehicle know, it should be mine.

Of course there are plenty of modern vettes, including the latest and greatest models brought in from dealers. This ‘10 sported some jaw dropping numbers on its MSRP sticker; a whopping 638hp and a price tag of $120k to go with it. The 0 to 60 for the vehicle was listed at 3.4 seconds. Think for a moment just how much power that is.

Flexibility
I didn’t feel guilty that not much was accomplished for work back at the hotel that afternoon. I only had a couple of things I wanted to get done. Its nice knowing I have set up my work environment to be mobile, so that I can get something done on a weekend trip if I want to. More often than not, I don’t have to compromise between the life and work. I know some people are probably wondering why I would worry about this at all, why even bring my laptop. To put it simply, I like my company and my job. Working hard (and smart) is just part of who I am.
