Why live in Colorado if you can't get out there and enjoy it?

The Chaos Ink crew now works 6:30am to 6pm Monday through Thursday. We moved to a 4-day week so our shop can be more efficient with fewer starts and stops and longer stretches focused on production.

Also, by working extra hard Monday - Thursday, the crew can have an extra day each week for other adventures. Why live in Colorado if you can't get out there and enjoy it?

We care about our employees just as much as we do our customers. A recent study has shown that a four-day work week significantly reduced rates of stress and illness in the workforce -- with 71% of employees self-reporting lower levels of "burnout," and 39% saying they were less stressed, compared to the start of the trial.

“One final paragraph of advice: do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am - a reluctant enthusiast….a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it’s still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely, mysterious, and awesome space. 

Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much; I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound men and women with their hearts in a safe deposit box, and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this; You will outlive the bastards.”
