No.....Richard has a full time job as a Supervisor at a fortune 20 company. This is and has always been his second/side job. When he started out here he was doing the contractor hop, lol.....you know where you take a contract for 6 months to a couple of years and then go elsewhere. That was very lucrative during the 90's and early 2000's and gave him lots of flexibility(read: no one cared what you did from work as long as you got your work done)..but once the market seemed to be busting in that area we had him take a permanent job instead of being a contractor.

His hours at his job as he's went up the ladder have increased, especially after he got into the management track....it's one of the reasons we made the decision to step down from our official positions with Shrapnel. In an average week he's working 50 hours a week plus he has an hour commute both ways because we live in nowhere land...i.e. no IT jobs in the town of Lancaster, Ohio. We expect he will probably be a Manager in the next year or so at which time his free time will probably go further downhill. Eventually we want to sell our house and move closer to his work so we can cut down that 2 hours per day community time, but between his full time job and the restrictions at his job he/we really don't have the ability to work on Shrapnel the way we once did, much less work on anything else that we have interests in and have quality time together.
