So, A lot of people ask me, "Hey Shrap, So You're completely insane, how do you make money and stay afloat in this day and age as a mad computer scientist? You got a job or something?"

in #rant6 years ago (edited)

I actually run my own janitorial/construction business https://xtdevelopment.net that is servicing floors only currently. I service areas all throughout the Pacific Northwest area. Mostly Auto Parts stores but a few sporting goods chains and misc. shops as well. I've done almost 1500 services in the past 18 months... I service about 50 stores on a regular basis, twice a month each right now... and I stopped doing construction. I had a bogus business partner that left a sour stain in my mouth on that stuff and a hole in my wallet :(

Most common services performed
Strip and Wax - 1 a year per store
Scrub and Recoat - 2 a year per store
Sweep, Mop, and Buff/Burnish - 2 a month per store

My wife and I stay quite busy... We drive about 1500+ miles a month. along with working on NanoCheeZe! (Often times in my van somewhere lol)

You are probably thinking, well that's stupid... So you are some kind of mad computer scientist janitor???! lol
Well, I guess I am...
but, not really stupid at all.

The Janitorial industry is going to be and already is one of the first human labor jobs that is being taken over by robotics and AI. Look at my website for the quantum floor cleaning service to see what I mean. They have robotic equipment that lets me do other things while these robots do my job(s) for me. So I can set up a few robots while I get the corners and edges and forgotten areas... So I can be in more than one place at a time basically, quantum... It's becoming a crazy world and I plan to capitalize in this area with my knowledge and what I am doing. Plus testing AI in the mequavis doing janitorial work is a no brainer for connecting to my AI work done in VR crypto coin! :)

Being my own boss actually provides me the freedom I need to work on NanoCheeZe and such. I make as much money now as I ever did having a full time job and working overtime so... and I work half as much :P but I do work really hard, spend many nights on the road sleeping in the stupid van, and I put in long hours when I am working, and I drive even more than I work I think most of the time... So, It evens out though I think...

But I couldn't go back to working for someone, I'm broken on that level... I could never have a "boss" again hahaha! I love it too much...

If you want to know why and what led to me starting my own business that is a long story. short of it is, my father died in a accident on our farm in 2008, he was the former bodyguard of governor perpich of MN and state patrol sergeant retired, so it was a big deal, and then my mom went bat shit crazy, I moved to Oregon to get away from the insanity, she lost our family farm, or I should say "HER" farm as she likes to remind me, by spending ridiculous amounts of money on mediums talking to my father apparently... So, I got my shit together and here we are... whatever this is! :) haha /sigh


That's totally me when I'm working on the MEQUAVIS GUI demo... lol
