Tom, Please be advised that I didn't get fired. As I stated before, my sarcastic "fired" reply was to the Boob's comment about my early retirement. In January I accepted an early retirement offer that my company made to every employee ofer 50. 1400 people in total. I checked with my financial advisor, lawyer and friends who had seen similar offers at other companies. They all confirmed that it was a very generous offer. I took it and so did 94% of the people that were eligible. I had paid my house off early years ago after seeing the first reorg. frenzy sweep the country even though I was untouched. My 3 kids have all graduated from college and I have no major bills. I own my boat. I don't need a job. I don't need to take wedding photos on weekends. I don't need to sell other peoples junk boat parts on ebay. S/V Express 30 "Ringmaster" "No shirt, no skirt, full service" |

Glad to see you're doing your part ![]() So, are you going to work with Steve at the Sailing Center? I'd love to do something like that. ...

My 3 kids have all graduated from college And none of them moved back in with you? Excellent. Some friends of mine are struggling with the boomerang issue. ....

I don't need to sell other peoples junk boat parts on ebay. Ah, you cleared out your garage then? I just sold something on E-Bay a while ago and am thinking of selling some more stuff.

are struggling with the boomerang issue. No, I told all of them that when I get old I'm going to live with each one of them for 4 months out of the year. S/V Express 30 "Ringmaster" "No shirt, no skirt, full service" |

So, are you going to work with Steve at the Sailing Center? I'd love to
do something like that. I'm spending a relaxing spring at the boatyard and getting caught up on some projects around the house. I might look for something in the fall. I just know that I don't want another "corporate" gig. I'm sick of monthly reports and meetings in north Jersey. The only thing I miss is the company car. Well not the car but the no payments and 0 gas bill. S/V Express 30 "Ringmaster" "No shirt, no skirt, full service" |

Ah, you cleared out your garage then? I just sold something on E-Bay a
while ago and am thinking of selling some more stuff. I've pretty much cleand out my garage but I'm still working on the basement. I've probably done over 60 ebay transactions since January. The thing is unlike the Boobster I don't need ebay to pay bills. S/V Express 30 "Ringmaster" "No shirt, no skirt, full service" |

Going to other people's weddings strikes me as the most boring PITA that
could be imagined. Well if your unable to get a real job and you can bull**** people like the Boobster that's one line of work you can get. S/V Express 30 "Ringmaster" "No shirt, no skirt, full service" |
