    Tyme's last week:They want me to stay

    Manager talked to me last night and really wants me stay. Says, "Take February off and then let me know if you want to come back." I told the manager that February off will just tease me and not get me used to "retirement." I didn't slam the door in the manager's face, but I did say, "Don't...

    In anticipation of my upcoming retirement, I closed an account with Fidelity and requested funds be sent by check to me. My question: How should I invest or spend the sum of $2.24 (Two dollars and twenty-four cents) that was in the Fidelity account? :confused::confused:

    Stupid Vacation Policy

    As you know from "Should I retire" post, the company I work for has an idiotic vacation policy. We rank our request 1,2,3,4 as to which request is most important. My numbers 4 and 3 were denied. One request (4) for February and one request (3) for April. July was accepted as was October. Fifty...

    C and P from another site.

    I just haven't gotten out to fish much lately. I wonder if I'm getting older. Is it possible somebody's trying to tell me something. Just seems like each time I'm about to get the hankering to go, something last minute jumps up and causes me to pause, reflect, wonder if I ought to or not. Get...

    Sold the old homestead

    Closing is Thursday for selling my mother's house. That house has been in our family for over 80 years. I have too many memories of the place to begin to share any. It's the house I was brought home to after I was born. I'm not celebrating the "letting go" of this home. Very sad day for me.:(:(

    Lures and allure

    My son brought his girlfriend over for Thangsgiving dinner. I was admiring the sweater she was wearing. Black with silver glitter. I was wondering why I liked her sweater. Then I realized, "Thats the pattern from a crappie grub I have." So I went out to the boat barn, got out my grub bag and...

    Your opinion needed. Should I retire?

    I don't really hate my job, but I don't love it either. I just completed 21 years with the company. I have to complete 25 years to get benefits. I just don't think I can work another 4 years with this company. It's not the "same" company I hired on to in 1986. Too many bean counters now. I...

    It's started

    My sister's e-mail to me. We can't seem to talk to each other on the phone. You're either going to bed or going to work. You took quite a few plastic containers of silver dollars home so they couldn't be stolen. You also took a blue CD/tape player that I bought for Mom last Christmas. I took...

    First time returning to Mom's house.

    I'm going to Virginia on Tuesday to try and partially clean out my Mom's house. She passed away on 6/25/2007. This is my first trip there without Mom being there to greet me. I'm already choking up about it. Kinda tough for a 58 year old man to cry. The house has been in our family for almost...

    40th Class Reunion

    I'm heading north to go to my 40th highschool class reunion. I've only been to one other and that was the 30th. At the 30th it seemed that the girls changed the most. Other than guys being bald. Probably me being a sexist pig and all. The "jocks" were still jerks and the "nice" people were...
