I'm liking my new job

I feel blessed to have a job with the current economy. It seems simple enough so far, and I get a pretty good wage. I had a somewhat difficult time finding a job though, how's everyone else doing with their job situation?

Glad you are happy with the job.

Thanks buddy, this is my first real job haha. I heard someone say when I was working yesterday, "It seems like no matter where you go these days, there's no good job." I said to him, "I'm just happy to have a job." haha

My work slows downn this time of year. So, I get to use up vacation, or take an extra day off or two.

I've been lucky to keep my job, but the hours have been cut so we get very little overtime. Personally, I think we will someday all be living like mad max. Got my mohawk and ass-less chaps at the ready.

This is my 40th year at my job. Most people retire after 25-30 yrs. Of all the people who started out with me, only one is still around (this is his 41st year). He says he's going to retire after this year.

So far, I'm still loving it. I plan on working until I get tired of it, but so far, that day isn't even in sight yet.

Anyway, if I retired, all I'd do is spend all day in bed, asleep. While that lifestyle has a lot going for it, I prefer to keep busy. I'm having too much fun to quit.

My company had a big layoff right before Christmas, I only found out about it Jan 3rd from my boss (vacation over Christmas). I told him they really need to ask before they do it next time since I would go and let younger guys stay. We actually have quite a few older "part timers" who just hang on because they can, of course they didn't make the cut but they let go some pretty key people which does not bode well long term for the company.

I got hired on with a group of other people, one of the guys just retired from the air force after serving for 24 years. I guess that he wants to keep busy too, instead of just sitting around.
