Been working too much, and trying to catch up on chores like laundry and a storm damaged road ever since. And reservations. Both ends within half an hour of Duster's. Finally been off a few days, but that's also the rub. I am only scheduled for 24 hours, plus another 8 I picked up, this schedule. Now that everybody is off injured reserve, it looks like it may be that way. So I've been crunching numbers. The way I see it, I either work and pay taxes, or make twice as much not working and not pay taxes. Or only make 4/3 as much for not working if you figure pre-tax retirement from my earnings. Plus my license expires the end of Oct, and SS would kick in 2 weeks earlier. So, from my point of view, when my boss sez "Full time or no guarantee", I'm thinking "Guarantee or no me". I'd do it next Sat, but I promised the Kat I'd work the 14th. Next day is the 20th. Now that's dumb, if i'm leaving on the 22nd :>) So my status in S may be undecided pending negotiations but it could well be my retirement party :>) and last blow-out for a loooooooooooooong time, cuz it is 3 years too soon.

PS. Ah dun't lack phish eggs. Or PB and Mayo samwitches.Or slimy things living in shells. Crab, lobster, and shrimp aren't slimy. Salmon don't live in shells. (They just closed the salmon fishery. Bad year for fishies. Going back to the damage Shrub's group did a few years ago on the Klamath. Figures. Nothing good, no matter how seemingly insignificant in the overall scheme. They touch it, it breaks. We pay. PPS. Only here a bit. I'm waiting for a callback from SS. If they don't call today, I'll go down tomorrow. It maybe quit raining around 6 this morning, and it's not supposed to rain again til Thor's Day; wait, that's tomorrow. But I'll miss it in Sept.
