    Well, it had to happen sooner or later. Work sat me down today and asked that I put in an actual 40 hours/week (monkeybutts!).

    Well sold our home on Friday, and we’ll close mid September. We also have an offer on another home we have, but they buyers have a high-rate mortgage company (I don’t count the $ with them till they’ve handed it to me at the closing table!).

    Anyway, so, yeah, I gotta work 40 hours now! That’s not right. Nope, not right at all.

    A few more weeks, and I’m in my truck, pullin’ the ol’ Ranger down Virginia way.

    Maybe I’ll just get a job with the ol’ folks… You know, “hello, welcome to Wal-mart” and such.

    A little vest with simley faces on it, a Wal-mart/FLW hat on. Oh yeah, I can see it now!

    40 hours has always given me gas. 40 tends to shorten the fishing day as well.

    Maybe tomorrow I’ll have all that I can handle and just give’m my official “adios,” drive up by Ma & Pa Slop Bass and fish till my wife makes get down to VA.

    Thanks,

    It’s all out of fun guys. My reply was derived from jealousy, not anger.

    THIS THREAD MAKES ME THINK OF A QUOTE FROM HANK PARKER. I AM NOT SURE THIS IS VERBATIM, BUT IT WENT SOMETHING LIKE THIS. “IF YOU WANT TO INCREASE YOUR FISHING SKILLS BY 100%, QUIT YOUR JOB.”

    I know I hate it when it is a good fishing day and I have to head into work. I work 12hr shifts so sometimes it really bites ya. Although I do get 2 days off during the middle of the week, either a Mon & Tues or a Wed and Thurs and it is always a good time to fish. Maybe you’ll have to find a better job????? maybe only work part-time???

    Ah, you “feel” my “pain.”

    In regards to getting another job when I’m down there, we’ve saved enough to cover our living expenses for three months -the head-hunter that I have guarantees placement within three months.

    Technically, we’ll be out of debt when I move down, so if I really had to welcome folks to Wal-mart as a job, I could do it -hell… they’ll understand fishing!

    Thanks,
