Oh and did I mention I also got a $7 an hour raise and the cost of living is 25% cheaper down there?
Wow I'm in a good enough mood to actually smile at this Christmas thing.

And never any S*** to shovel or drive through.

So more money, warm weather, and lower cost of living. I think I see a pattern. All positive.

Fantastic! I'm hoping that you (and Beth, if she comes with you) have a highly successful trip out west!

Congrats, Rick!

Bwahahahaha! Our evil plan is working. Once Jim comes out this way, we only have a handful we have to brainwash into coming to our land of sunny skies and no snow!

Good Friday morning folks.

My wife is done with working for 2014. She is in sluffer mode practice for the rest of the year. In June she retires and goes into full time sluffer mode. She has been shedding responsibilities at work and setting up departments to run on their own. She was real happy to get rid of the payroll department and the HR department.She comes home and tells me stories of the bonehead moves those departments are doing. I don't understand much of it so I just nod and agree.

She is real ready to get away from the politics and high levels of BS.

I just want to retire sooner than my last boss did. In his words he took "early retirement at age 92."

Doing something enjoyable for a living makes it easy to go to work.

Well my plan was to walk away from the auto industry at the age of fifty and that isn't going to happen now. I realized back on 08 that I wouldn't be able to change careers. So my plan is to just stay put as long as the body will allow. Moving to a warm climate just added tn years to that ability. Yeah mixed feelings about that one.
Once that rich uncle I never met croaks and leaves it all to me I am gonna relax
