I suspect many of you like me had a lot of time off over the Holiday's... Back to the grind this morning. Pleased to be gainfully employed and all, but I'm pretty sure that I could retire and stay plenty busy! However, two ex's and many Adventures and man toys later, not retiring anytime real soon!!

Daily grind sucks but it's became part of life. My retirement will have my family dressed in black and proud to say that most days lol. Being employed is a great thing so have a good day back and don't let it get to you. You're a good guy and a very fortunate man

Blessed beyond words and I know that to be a fact! The daily grind is good for a man and I happen to have a job that I love... December is generally a slow time of the year for my business, no real thinking to be done and ye ole brain gets lazy! I can envision continuing to work even after retirement from from my full-time gig. Something part-time like @drfubar does would be right up my alley!

And i know I won't be able to convince anyone of this but I mess with all of my customers too just like I do on the forum... They seem to like it.:confused:
So you must be one of those Lowes employees that I can never find when I need to ask where something is. Lol

A friend shared some pics of bare fields and snowed in front doors and 12' barn doors. Pretty crazy looking.

That couldn't be farther from the truth in the Dayton store. I know all Lowe's are judged by one or a handful of stores. Download the Lowes application, it will tell you where everything is and how many are in that particular store... Work with me on this @sharp , I can't do everything for ya...

My experience varies greatly from Lowe's location to location... The one I use up in Ellijay, GA is awesome with great customer service and friendly people. The one in Newnan, GA not so much.

Home Depot. :) They do their best to hire retired contractors. So you'll have a retired electrician working electrical that can get you there, same with plumbing, HVAC, etc.

I was off for 2 weeks. That's the longest I've been off work in my career.
I came back to work properly refreshed and relaxed. Ready for a new year.

It took about two hours to wipe the sh_t away and completely erase my good mood.

OH, well. Job security I guess.
