I agree, Rick. I had 2 small accounts less than five minutes from the house. I used to set up any repairs for first thing in the morning or on the way home. Problem is I was also given a "zone" of customers that were atleast an hour away and my primary account in that "zone" I would spend 3-3.5 weeks of every month at (which is my current employer). Ofcourse, now that I'm not field service anymore I not only don't get paid to travel but I have to pay for gas, insurance, vehicle maintenance, etc., Damned if you do, damned if you don't!

Fact of the week
The dot-com bubble, a period of large and rapid investments in internet-based companies, peaked in 2000 and saw the Nasdaq Composite index rise by 579%. Then the bubble imploded. As the value of tech stocks plummeted, cash-strapped internet start-ups became worthless and collapsed.
