That is very sad given your skill set and work history.

Better the devil you know etc and I know the perks that come with this role, working remotely from home etc but then have to weigh up if the perks are worth the stress :hmm

Is there a retirement "level" at 20 years of service you lose if you quit earlier? If so, I say suck it up, bad as it is, for another 2 years. :hugs

I'm camping on an island and I'm currently stranded on it because the winds are too high for the ferry to travel back and forth. :3

Sure hope you have a very waterproof tent!

There’s some wood I’d like to get out of the center of it before it collapses but not sure if that will happen.

Sadly there are so many barns that need WAY more money to fix than people have to spend.

Any particular reason why you didn't like it?

I guess you haven't been stuck in an airport for any length of time. There isn't much to like.

Gee, novel concept, doing what you are paid to do.
 
Good morning everyone!

Opening day went fine, several memberships were sold, some stayed to play golf and some stayed to drink beer :p Even had someone call wanting a 'to go' food order which of course couldn't be done. Today will probably be slow since it's Monday.

All the work talk brings back a lot of memories. Guess I never mentioned but for 13 years I was in charge of a small unit that provided liaison between developers and end users. We'd do all the testing before changes rolled out to the users and then provided training to the users. Did a bunch of other stuff related to developing and maintaining marketing databases. One VP decided our unit wasn't necessary any more so it was disbanded and the users were left to fend for themselves with system uses. Most of my group quit, I 'demoted' myself to a lower level/lower pay/less stressful job to finish out 3 years until early retirement. Sometimes the money and/or status of a job isn't as important as doing what you need to do for yourself.

Time for another cup of coffee!
 
Good morning all

@Teila :hugs I know how tough it can be. I learned a few years ago that personal happiness is far more important than money. As tough as it is financially, your mental health is far more important.

I had other people to respond to, but I forget now.... oops. Sorry.

Got the rest of our stuff out of the house in the city. Promptly got the truck and trailer stuck in mud right at our gate. Going to be spending the day loading everything into a tractor bucket and moving it to our storage trailer. Sigh. I need to get this house finished so that I can list it! The market in the city is really started to heat up.

As far as the house move goes... bank lost some of the paperwork. I'm just getting a secured line of credit against my investments. It's not like the money isn't there! We went in on Thursday to sign everything... then we were told that we have to wait for manager approval. Argh. Maybe it would have been easier to just sell some of the investments.

Foundation guy is amazing. He started working on everything the first day, right after I called him. We haven't even signed a contract or paid him anything yet. Surveyors were here on Thursday. Their drawings will be ready today, as will the engineer's. He's going to the house tomorrow with an electrician to figure out rewiring etc. He's doing so much work for us it's incredible.
