I started a bit later than you, 1979 I was hired as a research
assistant, for $10,500, two years later I moved into full fledged civil
service position, did half the work, got paid twice as much.........



I left the Federal civil service, here, in 1988 when I was convinced the
Charleston Naval Shipyard would close for good, soon. I was fixing church
organs (electronics) in my spare time and was making more between 5PM and
9PM than I was all day putting up with bureaucrats and GS-11 step 4 pay.

I'd have to be awful hungry to work for someone else's money, again. This
is too much fun.

I've just turned Socialist Democrat, here, because I just got my first
Socialist Security payment. I can no longer afford to be a fiscal
conservative and will vote for anyone promising to double my measily
pension check.....except for Hillary, of course....


Just out of curiosity (and tell me to f**k off if it is not my
business) but how much does a life time of labor get you in your
socialist service check?

And, could a guy that didn't own two diesel cars, miscellaneous
generator sets, a ham radio station and sail an Amil live on it?

without eating dog food?
