Fractional Posts - When The Barriers Are Down

WHEN THE BARRIERS ARE DOWN

It is essential - at all times - for the Fractionalist to be canny of the boundaries that separate him from the full-time employee. 

Essential to respect both barrier and bollard, before getting ambushed: inextricably collared.  To veer away from the perimeter or railing, and so avoid the appearance of failing (at time-management).

A metal post, if inadequately fixed, can do a lot of damaged when hit by a small, French car - to use a motor-vehicle as a meaningful metaphor. 

It can snap the axle, damage the steering. Before you know it, you'll be stuck fielding 'clearing' (during your summer vacation). 

The damage, most often, is uneconomical to repair. Before you know it, you'll be tearing out your hair.

You've got career ambitions? Get a car. But my advice to the fractionalist is, you're never going far.  

Get a bike, instead.

Lean your cycle against a fractional post, and stare at your self-made glass-ceiling. But don't feel sore (get some chamois-lined shorts) 'cos nothing quite beats free-wheeling.
