Personally I need some space to get away. But you should be piling up the cash.

You need space to get away because you're married.

He's not married or attached.

No. From work. Usually getting away is hanging out with the wife and kiddo. I work a lot of hours.

After these 6 months or so, what's your goal going forward?

1. Have no debt expect my monthly car insurance of $87 a month
2. Put another $25,000 in my 401K
3. Have at least $30K in cash so I have no more boom bust cycles.
4. Work on getting another place in Scottsdale for retirement like I had in 1999.

Only one person who would raise a stink and ironically he was just locked out of the outside of the building as I was on the picnic bench smoking a cigar before I came back in to do some proposals so I let him in. His Datawatch card went dead.

The only thing that can happen to me is that they tell me no more sleeping in office. They can't fire me. I'm already $4,000 to the plus side in 6 weeks.

I have an office lease, and it kind of bugs me that we only use it about 12 hours a day. There's a lot of value that we don't get out of it.

It would be hard to use it as sleeping space on a permanent basis, but I feel like I should sublease the night shift to a software company or some other company that can work at night.

Run a night shift.

I could cut my office space needs in half. Why haven't I thought of that before?

I'll be sending you a bill for consultation.

I think you have a great idea there and while there are shared office space companies like Regus, they just break up one very large office space into individual offices for each company and share common services. The costs can be very high per sq ft but a small business doesn't have to rent a large office to get a presence saving capital while looking official and professional.

With this new sharing economy, don't be surprised that there isn't a new startup company or two that either rents out unused office space by the day, or chops up space, or even rents space for night work, or possible sleep quarters in a building. The sleep part is most difficult because it requires showers for the most, something most buildings don't have.

You do need to take into consideration what happens if the people who sublet your space either steal things or break things, while it be worth it.

Verizon is buying Yahoo! For 4.5 billion. I have no idea why. I probably wouldn't pay $4,500 for it. Anybody have any stock?

I've got some Verizon. It didn't seem to get any reaction out of this news.

Today was a good day to own PMD. I bought it a couple of years ago and it immediately lost 20% and stayed there. But today's gain of 31.39% is the largest single-day increase I've ever had in a stock. I'm now in the black on it for the first time ever.
