3am? No problem

7am-noon- you are talking to yourself


Unless of course, I travel to the west coast....then I can function on the "normal" (And who decided that anyhow?) business hours.

And, being self-employed, that is your prerogative. I fond those to be very productive hours for me. On the other hand, I am kind of known for being the crazy-needs-no-sleep woman, 'cos I am generally up by 6.30 am to attend office business and going to sleep around 4 am.

And if they dont know chances are they have no traffic and are worthless.

Tony - thank you for the kind words about the company. I will freely admit I run into people who have no idea who we are with some regularity. And some of those end up being incredibly valuable contacts *shrug*
