Estimating on the Road

摘要

THROUGHOUT MY CAREER, I have occasionally had to do some work while on vacation or traveling. Now self-employed, I often work away from the office. Today's technology makes this a lot easier. In the old days, I lugged around a hundred pounds of paper plans and a portable file storage box. At that time, finding a place to work was a challenge. Hotel rooms rarely had a big enough table to roll out the plans. Working while camping was actually a little better, if there was a nice picnic table. Of course, there were interruptions at mealtime, and, yes, I have had to chase my plans through the forest on a windy day.
