"Either you think-or else others have to think for you and take power from you, pervert and discipline your natural tastes, civilize and sterilize you." -F. Scott Fitzgerald
Well, today I just vegetated in front of the TV and now feel like a brainless-Bangus(that fish that beats it's head against the coral to get some stuff to eat).
I spent all day in front of my (home) laptop...don't I get enough computer time at work?! I was updating folders/files and working on Sunday school "stuff."
Well gang, senior chief sheriff dave finally got a brainless job, where I don't have to think and where I have absolutely no power whatsoever. It is a very civilized and structured job that begins the night in utter chaos. I finish strong by 8AM, and crash hard till 8PM. There are a few perverts working there and a bunch of old folks. It pays only slightly above nevada minimum wage and you have all been there at one time or another. It really sucks, but I kind of like it. Can anyone (besides rod) guess where it is?
1. You joined the cast and crew of the TV show 'Reno 911'.
2. Got a job as a bouncer at 'Hooters'.
3. Got a job at a sea port loading dock. (No I know they must have them there. Some guy tried to sell me some tropical prime beach front property in Neveda, even showed me some really nice photos).
Laundry mat coin operator or Denny's kitchen staff. (Didn't you and Chris begin your working career as kitchen preps at the Hilton? Still think that boarder patrol gig up in Saipan is the way to go.
Good deal Dave! My wife has just become your new best friend! We just returned from Wal-Mart with bags loads of school supplies and goodies for her students. We shop there all the time!
Must be nice to be retired from the US military and work a leisure job for the x-tra bucks! You earned it buddy! Wish I had done it myself? I could have retired after 20 years in the Army in 1999 if I were to have toughed it out. But no....now I am now forced to work until the age of 62, 65, 67...or what ever the new retirement age is? And even then Social Security may not be around, I'm certain. ;(
Way back in the day when I was in the Army, my initial goal was to retire after 20 and open a gas station in the middle of the desert in the state of Wyoming. People, such as my wife later asked me why? I told them because I would like to work a job in the middle of no-where so that I could read a lot, and still collect a pension. My dream never came true though.
Hey Ric, it's still possible, get in on the green/alternative energy. and open a recharge center for hybrid car owners (corn liqueur bar,hehehe). Maybe the new administration will be giving loans for alternative energy ventures.
Well Dave your the first of our group to be handling retirement. Come to think of it, Claudia retired about 10 years ago from DOE but that only lasted about two months before she went back to work teaching and she has been at UOG for the last 5 years.

How about a security guard at a retirement home?
Yes, Dave has laid out the 'clues' for us.
And Dave did mentioned ROD, he must be in communication with him. Dave tell him to log in once in a while! He's a hoot! ;)

Anyway, congratulations on the new job! We are all waiting for the first installment on the "New Dave adventures".
Actually, I am now an "official" wal-mart associate, with the very important designation and job title of... night stocker.
From night stalker in your adventuresome youth to night stocker in your retirement.
Wal Mart, the financial safety net for boomers everywhere.

Hope yours did Dave!

Wow Juliet, sounds like a plan! If only I could, I would? Like the idea about the corn liqueur bar though!
