you’ve fried her already

Vocal fry

I was once asked where I saw myself in 20 years. Since I was 59 at the time, I said “retired”.

Ah yes….brain-fry. It happens.

23 years this summer, 22 in the same store

I’ll probably work there until I can’t work anymore

Some days that seems closer than others

One day we all wake up and realize that we are….old..

Ha! You’re bumming out your mug!

I left a company after 20 years and it seemed no one cared. Then I started getting phone calls for help. I then worked as a contractor employee at another company for a few years and a year after I left when they didn’t renew my contract they called trying to get me back. At that point I was running a department at another plant in Florida and had no desire to give that up.

43 and counting!
