Nobody fishing?

[dingbat]

I’m constantly amazed at how many working age people seem to not work. More and more boat traffic every year on weekdays.

Smart Phones….

Can’t count the numbers of times I “attended” conference calls and or Teams meeting from the boat or beach.

I had an Air Card for my laptop back In the Black Berry days. Just needed cell Service to be "in the office".

One of the highlights of my career was the day the National Park Service extended cell coverage out to my favorite beach front location.
Nothing like answering emails with sand under my toes, an umbrella over your my head and a cold one in a kozzie next to you.

Been know to do a little fishing in the process...lol

Yeah ,like being on a work call and hoping that I can bulls hit my way thru it ........untill the boss says " Hamish ( smee ) why can I hear seagulls in the background " ?
He was a good bloke ....rang me one day to query my fuel charges "your van has used more diesel than the distribution truck last month ....what gives ? ......easy , towed the boat 400kms most weekends ,and he was fine with that . Sometime later he rang to ask why I had only used 80 bucks worth of diesel for the month ....that was the month the outboard sucked a kumera and we didnt go fishing .

Had a conference call every Monday morning with all the Sales Reps from around the world.

As Sales Managers, bossman expected us to call in from out of the office. It wasn’t until he and I were on a conference call with a customer that he started to catch on to me

Paused mid sentence several times during the call. Called me back 30 seconds after the call ended.
“Are you on the boat?”
Me…why do you say that?
“There was a funny, droning noise in the back ground. Sounded like a motor.”
Me…maybe

He knew I fished a lot the end of April into May but didn’t put two and two together.
Had a good laugh about closing the deal while “multi-tasking”…lol

Goes both ways , I see one of my workers vans somewhere he had no (work ) business being so I give him a ring and ask how the job ( the one he is miles away from ) is going ....and you can hear the hesitation as he's trying to figure out what I know , I tell him I will be there for a look in a couple of mins and hear the panic in his voice
