Thriving Business
We are animals of habits. It is in own wiring to develop certain repetitive, even if predictable patterns. We are usually disturbed by constant changes and inevitably develop a certain tendency to resist it.
I used to have very stable timetables. Assignments could last for a whole season and often times extended for long periods that might encompass years a time. We had to be more careful back then. Targets had to be followed and their routines studied and analyzed to avoid exposure or mistakes. There was little room for disruption and that allowed me to work as if on auto pilot. It was easy to accept or reject appointments, scoutings, or assignments because whatever free time I might have or any risk I could take was clearly processed and calculated.
Now, I can’t say I have a timetable. Everything changes every day. I can’t be sure what I’ll do or where I’ll be in a couple of days, let alone over longer periods. I have to check notes and agendas to make sure whatever new thing comes up does not conflict with previously acquired commitments. All this I must do on hard copies that must be rigorously destroyed. I can’t trust my memory after all the concussions and surgeries, but I can’t trust technology either. Everything can be traced back to you.
We have more assignments now and we don’t have to be too careful. That tells you how much they control everything, including social media. It does not matter if the assignment goes live on Instagram or any other shit. It does not matter either if we hit the wrong target. We owe no explanation and any body that would have given us a hard time back in the day is now on our side. That’s an improvement in our line of work. I can’t complain, but what’s the point of making so much money when I can’t even take a vacation or enjoy the beach without looking over my shoulders!
