    Very tough! haha
    lambshank

    I intend to, that is if I can ever give up buying shoes

    I am a first-year tax professional (in training, can't say I'm a pro yet).  I have been a receptionist, bookkeeper, fast food asst. mgr., usher, 21 dealer, worked at The Home Depot and a "department" store, electrician, teacher, clerk-typist, accounting clerk/supervisor, and typist.  My work as a wife and mother has been most rewarding, and heartbreaking as well.

    Keep it up P,all the more on your resume the more opportunities come along,good work ethic is a strongpoint..KOTF.

    Responding to your comment below on my answer. I'm from Maine, but it's national law they are implementing. I just got notice of it in the mail last week. As to the other, I can get stints put in at some point in time.

    Oh, I will eventually. Until then I have Nitrostat to keep things going.

    For 5yrs until last November it was Retail Management, and it will be again from March, I hope.

    Hope so, too, ROMOS. You seem to be a real people person!

    Who's going to clean up all the fleas after you?
    ROMOS

    The Kings Fleas are well attended to,we do occassionally have a pets appreciation day at work, I never seem to be too popular then, don,t know why...lol...KOTF
    Bob/PKB

    Every one of those little fleas wants a gold star on pet appreciation day.
    p.s. should have kept working when I moved from northern to central California; I wanted to be the "ideal" wife and mom. Miserable failure at times. Ready to take a chance again!

    I am a self employed artist/potter.

    I'm so retired I have to dream up things to do...........lol

    At the moment I'm still a truck driver, although I'm unemployed, but I'm apt to lose my CDL under the new Federal Department of Transportation health and fitness standards they are nationally implementing. I have emphysema, COPD, and a heart blockage that was diagnosed after an incident while working this past summer. So, I guess it's inevitable, and actually a good thing. I say this, as you can''t have people out there driving those big trucks with health problems that pose a potential risk to the safety of the public.

    Bob/PKB

    Connecticut Colorado California??????
    Can you have procedures to correct the blockage?
    Bob/PKB

    PLEASE take care of yourself and get the surgery done as soon as possible.
    Bob/PKB

    OK, you are too far away for me to nag you into the hospital. BUT YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!
    lambshank

    shootah, your right,at least you have the sense to see that,I know there is not much that can be done for these conditions (from 1st hand knowledge) so just be kind to yourself and know that we care
    Poppy3

    Take care of you - I am hope you are under medical supervision.

    My work is a lot more than I get paid for!!  { : D

    Thankless job, I think. I sure couldn't do it!
    lambshank

    your right about the thankless, but I do run fast!! keeps me fit
    Shootah

    That is definitely a very challenging job! I don't think most people could even begin to imagine exactly how challenging.
    PS. Thanks for the words of encouragement down below on my answer. At the moment I'm still in the planning mode of re-inventing myself around not having as much wind as I use to.

    Retired and bored.

    Benthere

    I have not experienced one second of boredom in retirement !
    Ann

    You probably keep very busy.
    Bob/PKB

    Do you maybe want to work again? Travel? Hobbies? Responsibilities? What's up, Ann?
    Ducky

    I'm with Benthere on this one. I love being retired...so many things to be able to get involved in...volunteer work, travel, friends, interests, reading, hobbies, all to be done in my own time and for as long as I wish. Never a dull moment if you are "involved in life" and LIVING IT.
    itsmee

    I haven’t yet been bored. I always have something to worry about.
    Ann

    This is just temporary boredom. Usually January and February are the most boring month for me.

    Boredom is a matter of choice; not circumstance!
