    That’s why I decided to do it. Lost my profit motive and suddenly spending 3-5 years establishing trees, roses and peonies didn’t sound so bad. Added bonus, my few customers are farmers and garden enthusiasts so the business side is enjoyable. I’ll hard sell you on some pansies

    That sounds so much better than spending hours in calls with Microsoft engineers that don't ever seem to make the progress we set out to do.
