Well, You need to find yourself a coffee shop and a bunch of other old farts and clear out while she work!
Nope, that isn't going to happen, Pete. Actually, I would have nothing in-common with any "old farts" that live here. If they don't talk about livestock, crops or rodeo..........nope. Besides that, my wife loves me being here.
Well, thank the dear Lord that our WiFi connection works on this company computer. And, while there are Seniors that don't like iPhones, she is very lucky to have one. There is an app on the phone that she had to download in order to sign into the company program she uses. Her work manager told her this morning, over the computer phone, that she was doing "fine". Not great, but fine? Well, ok. They already knew that she had very little experience with one major software they use, but not only did her past accounting, finance and analytical skills help her get the job, so did her last job working for an insurance company help.
Congratulations to your wife, Cody! Her perseverance really paid off! Wonderful. I continue to be impressed by the marriage you two have, the love, respect, and fun you share with each other. Best of luck to you two, always!
Finding out there are some downfalls to "working from home". Outside noise/dogs in other apartments barking. Electricity used for running company computer for 8 hours a day. So, it's not necessarily "hands down" the best place (home) to work, but it will suffice.
Well, wife's job is going good, but the company is closed tomorrow (Presidents Day) and she won't be paid. Her supervisor at the Florida company, and the Agency in Chicago, both told her that she would have Monday off. This is the first job she has ever had where she gets paid weekly and on an hourly wage. With her also getting her full SS, a weekly bank deposit is very, very nice. However, if this job is extended another three months, we won't be able to take out our boat during the week. Weekends can be hectic for boating here. And, if the job gets extended, thru Oct., she will have to tell both the company and the agency that she has to have a week off in August for a trip to Dodge City, Kansas...........if that trip does indeed happen. If we can go, and the company and agency tells her they can't give her that week off, her employment will definitely end.
Well, Lon, we have, and still do, have a very, very different lifestyle than you probably ever did. Anyway, most folks that have a descent boat, like we do, and have put as much money into as we have............it's very priority! Just what can I say, we love boating/fishing on local lake.
Cody, DH and I used to have a big fishing boat. We spent many happy hours aboard it so I can understand how you feel about yours. When he bought it I told him, "You'll never catch enough fish to pay for it." He said, "but I'll get enough enjoyment out of it to pay for it." And he was right. BTW, that should be "Decent", not "Descent".
There were times in my life that I rented a boat for the day either fresh water or salt which I found better for me than buying one. To each his own they say.
Wood or fiberglass? I seem to recall reading about this in a "What jobs have you held during your life?" thread. Fiberglass, right?
Yes, I worked for Yar-Craft when it was a young company and located in Menominee, Michigan. Everyone there had their own key. Fiberglass. We mostly made the hulls and the decks, while they were assembled and fitted with an outboard elsewhere. We also made canoes and kayaks, which we could buy at cost - or rather, come in on an off-day and make our own, paying only the cost of the materials ($15 for a kayak). The company had a few boats at the Menominee Marina that employees could check out whenever they wanted to use them.
At least you didn't post this: "Y'all got any of them three-eights inch boats in stock?" I know how they talk in Texas. It's confusing sometimes.
