I finished the plans for the Poultry Slaughterhouse and according to the reports, it may be rejected because I did not include a section of the Romold grease interceptor. I have the drawing on my desk but judged it to be too trivial and standard to include it in the Technical Report. Well, a true Israeli environmental bureaucrat is physically unable to approve a project at the first submission. Something must be wrong, surely something is missing.
Today I studied the new supermarket in Sharona Center, and the new patisserie in the industrial area. The supermarket is being remodelled with shining chrome, and looks very impressive. The place was full of people visiting the new Tribunals, the Social Security and the phone company offices. The place has changed hands and names several times, may be the new chain will succeed where others failed. The patisserie is the same story, a large building on the industrial area´s main street (Rehov Taas) that has changed owners almost every year. The new entrepreneur is investing a lot of money in remodelling the place.
I am working very very hard, I am producing first class professional designs and reports, but my income is under average. I am hearing that my prices are not so low anymore. How do other consulting engineerings survive in this country?

I have no advice for your income woes, but I do have a comment on the phenomena of businesses that change hands so often. I have noticed that there are certain locations that are stable, where the same business will remain for many years, while other locations are "jinxed" - no matter who moves in, they are out of business in a few months or a year. This despite having what appears to be a busy location. I wonder whether there is some hard-to-spot "feng shui" factor that makes these locations bad somehow.
