I've got three weeks to decide if I want to apply for it.
So you will be over a total of 7 people who despise you 3 of whom are women ? [Reply]

After YEARS of driving an average of 45 minutes one way (that’s if traffic was in my favor), I now commute 9 minutes each way. It’s changed my life. Two weeks on a tank of gas. More time at home and/or in the garden/patio. [Reply]
Since getting my HIM degree after leaving the army it's been great. A year after graduation I ended up in a Director role, and love my new facilty. [Reply]

It makes such a huge difference doesnt it...
When it takes more time to shit, shower, shave and gulp down some coffee than it does to actually get to work... thats all win
To be honest, even if I wasnt quite coming out ahead on this deal... I'd still be a happier person, and thats worth money all by itself [Reply]
What I do is interesting, I'm treated well and like most of the people I deal with regularly....last summer I got paid to pee in the Bering sea. Hard to top that where I live. [Reply]

I am at the soldiering on point. I retired for a couple of years and got bored so I took a temp part time government job that would only last for six months. During that time the dept. I worked for had a opening for a full time position, I was asked by the dept. Director to apply and I thought what the hell. It's not too terrible of a job but no raises and it seems they just keep adding to the work load of our dept. But it does have a good pension that in 5 years and 2 months I can take that pension and head back to retirement. I could go right now but no way in hell will I give up that pension money! [Reply]
