Marz 0 #1 February 25, 2005 Holy CRAP!!! I did it!!!! I just sent my boss an e-mail requesting a one-year Leave Without Pay. That holds my position for the time I'm gone, should I choose to return. Either way, I'm out of here on March 24. I have part-time work lined up and I'll be able to finsh my business plan and hopefully have my touring company up and running by May... If skydiving taught me one thing, it's that when the spot is right, you gotta jump. So here goes nothing!!! Marz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkiD_PL8 0 #4 February 25, 2005 Congrats and good luck! If I remember right he was wanting to do an adventure getaway type company that did things like white water rafting, rock climbing things of that nature. I could have him confused with someone else though. Greenie in training. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marz 0 #5 February 25, 2005 I'm starting a multi-sport adventure touring company. I will be putting together packages which include climbing, rafting, MTB and tandem skydiving. Eventually, My wife and I plan on focusing on trips to South Amerca as we have many contacts down there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marz 0 #10 March 7, 2005 So I got news on Friday... It's a no-go for the leave without pay, so I went for plan B and resigned. My boss said he understood and wished me luck. So I'm out of here on March 18!!!! The cool thing is that I got a call for an interview for part-time work on Saturday as I was on my way to my kiting lesson. I'm meeting the woman today. This would be an ideal job as it's self-scheduled and only 20 hours a week which allows me pleanty of time to continue setting up the business.... LIFE IS GOOD!!!!!
