Does the phrase 'fire your boss' come to mind? Or 'vote with your feet?'

Today, it's not quite as easy as it was in 1999, or 1995.

But then, as now, life is indeed much too short for that kind of stuff. At
least, it is for me. However, we've long ago determined that I'm spoiled,
rotten.

BTDT. During this last tech cycle, my youngest son, in his early twenties,
took the opportunity to pull me aside, and say "Dad, we're really worried
about you." Good kid. Guess he was raised right. Helps to have
grandparents around.

They say that one definition of insanity is doing the same thing, over and
over again, and expecting a different result.

Take good care of yourself, Nahmie.

Ah yes, those were the days! Being awakened by the answering service @
2:00AM because some bank EDP system is down, then not seeing the house again
until the same time next day(if you're unlucky).

Spending some 36-40 hr. straight either trying to help on a piece of
equipment you're NOT trained on, running for parts, calling in outside
experts, plus 2 trips from Muncie, IN to Indy airport(the (*%^*#%^ air
freight couldn't find the parts just flown in the first trip, although
everyone SAID they were there!). Calling my boss to update him on what's
happening, get home & fall into the mattress, only to have the stupid
A**hole call me to find out "what are you doing about this problem?"
(Remember now kiddies, this is the same man I updated approximately 1 hr.
before.)

Sheesh!

This was in '73. Made my try @ low end management, still ended up carrying a
tool kit to prop up faltering inept personnel, then when Co. got rid of
them, had 2 + me to cover 24hr., guess what shift I had to pull(plus work
days)! Yep, should have walked, but was feeling the weight and
responsibility of raising family, mortgage, etc., and was afraid to give up
the security. Did eventually *walk* by transfer to here, about the same time
the Co. decided that A**hole should be demoted & transferred. By then I was
so "burned out", I had even lost faith in my own technical abilities, took a
long time to get it back. Eventually, through other changes, I saw the
"handwriting on the wall" and got completely out, started a new profession
OTR driving.

Uncle Sam retired me from that in '97 when I became diabetic, now I spend
the school year volunteering for my best friend, getting what shop time I
can, and perusing the wRECk.

Thanks. We've got some pretty good kids that look out for us too. They keep
us young & busy.

Ummmmm. Me?

With the current work load (at work of course) I could be up
even earlier, get in even earlier and leave later and I'd
never catch up.

My two favorite times of the day, first walking into work in
the morning and leaving at the end of the day.
