I doubt that I will have it done, because the performance upgrade from the 98Camry, has been incredible. I don't think I need a sway bar to enhance the experience.

Dan, any room at that unnamed company for an ex-fitness and cycling retailer?

You help me out with that, and I can take care of those pesky bicycles for you at N/C.

You're kind of ruining the image that I had of "retirement"...which I thought you were. If you're not working, you're looking for a job. What a buzzkill.

Retirement at 45 should be restricted to ex-Enron executives and lottery winners.

Sorry to be such a buzzkill, but cat food and gasoline still costs something. I've got one job working for a local non-profit (i.e. not much income potential), and also had, until yesterday, another part-time job working retail.

Looking for more something somewhere for the dough. Still plenty of time to re-retire again.

What's with everyone getting sacked around here?

The better question... Who's to blame?

I engineered a shed in the backyard once. I also engineered a coup against a teacher I didn't like in the 6th grade. That's probably on my permanenet record.

Retail (35 years), photography, and generally a reliable old guy. Other than that, I do nothing.

EDIT: Oh, and I also met Clamato once, but he probably doesn't remember it. Does that count for anything? Or is it points off?

I wouldn't mind getting sacked a little more often.

What about Ace Hardware? they need reliable old guys...those young punks are too busy text messaging each other to help.

Meeting Clam is okay as long as you don't touch the Nathan Lane-esque coif...

At $6.50/hour, I don't think so. Cat food has just gone up, even considering the creative use of the food stamps. And yes, they really do need reliable old short dudes like me. All stores do. Customer service is not what it used to be "back in my day."

I made a call today. Might have a new p.t. job lined up already. In a week, I'll know for sure. Otherwise, I guess I'm going to have more time to do yardwork and honeydo lists.

Now, about your N.L. hair comment... why would you think I would even consider touching it??? I don't even want to touch my own N.L. look-alike hair.

Isn't it obvious? You and Clam both have an unnatural affinity for the "Male Chicken"!

Exactly? Well, you both are fond of Richard.

so then, what retail jobs have the best pay?

The great thing about the taste/waste of Glen Ellyn are the carnies & the weird arse people, such as the superman dude.
