Corporate Refugee Hideout
On becoming a corporate refugee, a drop in living standards was part and parcel of the package for me. No more car allowace, no more expense account, no more fat performance incentives, no more stock options, no more….. you get my drift.
Initially one sings the standard corporate refugee song, I am sure you have heard it sung before….
It is quality of life that counts, do dah, do dah
Money can’t buy you happiness, do dah, do dah
Money can’t buy your health, do da, do dah.
More time for myself, do dah, do, dah
And so on.
So eight years and several repossessions later what is the lifestyle of this corporate runaway and has it all been worth it ?
Well this morning I was up early and snapped a few photos of what the dawn experience at Casa Tresblue is like. After viewing I will let you make up your own mind.

well, well,well….corporate runnaway i have to add that the esscence of the lifestyle you now are accustomed to is worth a thousand in the concrete jungles in our urban confusion called city-life.
driving to work for one and a half hours to get to work - then spending the balance of the banging ones head against some mad buggers wall all day long before driving back in bumper to bumper filled chanels filled with road rage to an urban box called home [with its prison like security systems] to spend fleeting time with loved ones -if you are lucky - before waking up in the secured prison called home and repeating yesterday once again -All this so you can travel with family at christmas - [with a road carnage rate avering 1600 deaths] to spend time looking at an environment which you - the corpoate runaway - have proactivley sought and found.
Way to go Dr Rosenburg!!!!
