    At a time of job losses

    This afternoon, I was offered a job as a maintenance man for a guy who owns what seems to be half of Indiana. Well not quite, but he owns a lot of properties, both commercial and residential.

    I've been retired for 9 years, and I'm not looking for a job, even though the pay would be good, and the hours quite flexible. I'm both very surprised and flattered that he would ask me to be his guy to go to when problems arise with his properties. But my family has always come first, and I wouldn't leave my wife for hours at a time. So I'll forget about a bunch of new toys, and do what I can to make her life just a little easier. That's more important.

        I also salute you for choosing to spend more time with your family instead of getting yourself positioned to buy more toys.

        I'm looking forward to the time when LOML and I can play all the time.

          This is NOT a good day for me to be reading this thread...

          I really like my job, the work is good and flexible etc... But sometimes I just hate having to leave LOML to go to work...

            Ed,

            You've obviously got your priorities straight. Family comes first.
