Would it get depressing working in a funeral home Michelle?
During college, I worked for UPS, loading trucks at night.It was hard work but the money was really good. I also was in the United States Marine Corps Reserves during college. Fortunately, there were no wars going on during the time I was in, (1976 to 1982) so I got out and got my Honorable Discharge. My first job after college was as a shipping clerk for a tool distributor and then I got an Inside Sales (Technical Sales) job at a valve manufacturer, and I've worked in that type of industry my whole career. For the last five years I've been working as an Application Engineer for a pump company. The job can be tedious and high pressure, but it pays the bills. My father was able to retire at 57 because he was in a union and he got a good pension but I have no pension other than what I have saved up in my 401K, so if I stay healthy I'll probably work until I'm 70. __________________

I started working in the summer between my 3rd and 4th year in my bachelor's degree in the company where I work now. The first 6 months I worked on 6 hours working regime but after that I changed it to 8 hours/day. __________________

LOL Those are vivid dreams. Last dream I had I was purchasing another dog, a small dog, but when I went to pick him up he was the size of a horse. I remember questioning if it was really a dog. Sucks you have to go alone for a week. Maybe by that second week it won't be so bad being alone. You will be in a groove, in a zone and you can just tie things up and if they get too close and annoying, tell them to go to hell. LOL |

Proud Of My Nieces
I just got back from running a bunch of errands. Around town, there's multiple signs advertising for the Girls Varsity Soccer home game tonight. The city we live in is not a small city. However, it is a historical city. There's a lot of history. Way back in the day many Irish settled here. Thus, the team name being Irish. There is just this sense of togetherness which is rare because it's not a small town in the least. You can feel the culture and history. So as I was running my errands every so often I would look up and see a sign reminding the people in the city that the Girls Varsity Soccer team is playing tonight in the Stadium at 7 PM. Just makes me feel good knowing my nieces made this team as a Freshman in their respective years. There were only 2 Freshman that made it each of their years and they were each one of two in an otherwise packed team. This team has depth and when the both of them tried out there were hardly any spots available so to make it as a Freshman and be only one of two to do so in each year is phenomenal. They followed in their aunts footsteps, which makes me more proud because like I said I get to brag about passing down the genes. Anyway, huge rival game tonight for my nieces... and this city. |

That's wonderful Michelle! They definitely take after their Aunt! I wish them luck in tonight's game.
