Ben by Daniel Shelton for April 06, 2023

Ben has the right idea. Everyone in the office is going to be so jealous.

He needs a tan to go with that shirt.

I couldn’t go back to my old office even if I wanted to – they were all let go and the company off-shored to Poland

Prepare to be ignored.

For my last several gigs, I could not go visit if I wanted to. Security won’t let anyone in without a badge or a VAR.

I love answering the question,“What do you do all day now that you are retired?” “Anything I want!”

What, no gold chains?

And keep that smile on your face.

That’s it… rub it in

They’ll get the message when it 50 degrees outside.

I go back to my old job every year. They have a shredder and I bring all my confidential mail and put it in the shred bin.

I live in the house with my last jobs – and still do it. I worked in accounting since I was 12 years old and helped my dad. I ended up (as mentioned elsewhere) with his and my later boss’s practices. I am on the dying end of both practices and work from home.

Husband and I have a handcrafted business ( what we made/media we worked in has varied over time- currently – small handstitched bears by me and he does weaving work. (At 18th century reenactments – he demonstrates and sells his weaving and I demonstrate, but refuse to sell, hand embroidery.) This is also based in our house.

Would be nice if either or both businesses made MONEY.
