Johnny / it all depends what ya want in life & how much bull s hit you,ll take // years ago when my family was still all in the house /// I had a tit job //but still had to bust my ass // I worked as accountant for ITT for 15.5 years //I was nuts then too /but they wouldn,t get rid of me because i was a good worker & was real good with numbers // I had full medical ,dental ,a investment account ,5 weeks vacation ,plus sick days ,holidays , life insurance/& a descent pay // but I still commercial fished /both rod & reel & quahauging ..
well One day I just quit /at age 36 to go full time commercial fishing // I never looked back & I,d do it again // I,ve never worked for anyone else again & that was 22 years ago // In the next few weeks /once I figure things out /I,ll find a way to scale down even more ///

I would have been higher up in management if I was a golfer ,Instead of a fisherman ..............................<>>>><<>><

But in golfing you have to wear those silly pants and goofy shoes.

Tim-Tim, I sympathize. I've already worked 42 hours this week, not counting today. I had to go pick up a dozen 1.5 gallon buckets of caulking yesterday, and a bunch of other equipment. I have a tiny, relatively nice sports car. Well, the dude loaded my car, ramming one bucket into my cd player (it's a trunk one) multiple times, smashing a bucket into my better rod and reel, and leaving grease stains on my back seat. I tell ya, my little car is a far cry from the company truck. And I got no compensation. Among other things, that is a reason I am getting out. It's hard; people get stuck in their ways and don't want to move or change, no matter how young or old they are. But once we do, I assume it will be glorious. Until then, don't let the man get you down.

I work full time but get payed part time benefits because they hired me for part time. Then work another 20hrs at my other store. Used I feel. If it wasn't for the wife and kid and family around here I would be gone.
