A Somber Farewell to BossHatch

Everything that begins has an end.

Sometime in October I clearly remember getting an email from Kelly inviting me to replace some blogger who decided this position wasn’t for him.  Fortunately, I was chosen to fill the position.

This was one of those things that you say “Hey, I think I can do it… why not try it out?”  Luckily, I received an email MONTHS after applying for the job.  It was a big and pleasant surprise which bought me bragging rights against Journalism and Business majors (seeing as how I am an Industrial Engineer filling a journalist-like position regarding business).  However, with the fun comes tedium – and writing about young entrepreneurs day-to-day is not easy.  School caught up with me and I needed some help, which is why my friend Alejandro briefly served as a co-blogger.

It is impossible to consistently run a business that does not make money… unless it is a front for some sort of drug ring (I kid).  The best thing to do in a business, when the economy goes sour and you must make cuts, is to find which areas have the potential for the least amount of growth.  As those prostate commercials say… I had a growing problem.  Thus, the site and I will be taking our final bows.

I just want to thank everyone at b5media for giving me this chance and all of my readers for sticking with me at BossHatch.  I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything (not even a Klondike Bar); and if the stars eventually realign, I may be back for an encore. Until then, I guess this is it for us.

    Don’t think for a second that you won’t be missed… Your quick wit makes you wildly endearing – I expect we will see great things from you some day.

    Thanks Kelly :)

    You’re right, Jim, blogging is both a great high and a low grind—depends on when you’re asked. I really like the cartoons you’ve started doing and look forward to seeing your quirky sense of humor elsewhere.

    Live long and prosper, as Spock would say (before your time:)

    I certainly will miss you!
