Poor David! :cry:

[SullyTM]

David, What are you going to be doing for the paycheck? Hopefully, you'll be getting a lunch break! Remember to set your alarm clock!

Later...

[OregonSalmon]

Turncoat!!! Another one of the employed. Sorry David, I can no longer talk to you.

Geez David, why didn't you steer that car north when you had the chance. Now it will just be a trail of tears on the way to work. Ouch.

[JerryInLodi]

David, I feel your pain.

Now to "rub it in a little!"

Yesterday, while you were facing the return to work, I went in for my retirement interview! I only have about 60 work days left in my ENTIRE career.

And I'm not going to miss a damn thing! I already have a full season of fishing planned including this summer in Baja, late fall in Oregon for steelhead and next summer, the keys for tarpon. Then there's the delta right next door!

[Darian]

Hey Jerry,.... What happens if you fail the retirement interview :?: :?: Do they make you work another 10 years :?: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

David,.... you gonna make it to Kiene's on Saturday :?: :?:

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

Wow David.....that work is a bad habit.

Maybe you can buy a little bigger boat for the two of you?

[Tracy Chimenti]

First the stock market, now this! Who am I going to fish vicariously through now? --hehe, going tomorrow!

[sculpin]

Eeeeeeeeekkkkkkkk. Going to work !!!! David say it ain't so, I feel for ya.

If I were unemployed for 16 months, my wife would strangle me

I'd have long been dead and buried. :lol:

Well, look at the bright side David, a chance to "refurbish" the gear holdings. :D

i was retired for 3 years but 2 months ago i went back to work as a School Bus Driver - why did i go back to work at 60 years old? - health insurance! - got tired of paying blue cross $1,769.00 a mo. for health insurance for just my wife & i - not a miss print $1,769.00 a mo!!!!!!! - the bus thing isn't a bad thing - 5/6 hours a day - week-ins off summers off - spring break coming up april 1 - 2 weeks off for christmas - - you get the idea - the bus barn is only a 3 minute drive from the house - not a bad deal for an old fart - tom

[SteelieD]

Boys -

With friends like you ..... who needs enemas ?!?

Just got in from my first day . Nice people (for Cabinet makers , anyways ...) , small shop , fair $$$$ . Hands are all cut-up (fingertips are good , so I can tye :evil: ) and back to having Melamine/sawdust boogers . All in all ...... great day !!

I'll see most of you Saturday at the shop - thanks for the tears/ballbusting/warm thoughts ..... y'all are the BEST :nod:

David (slave to the MAN :x ) Lee

[Bluegrass Bill]

Hey David,

Congratulations (I guess :D ) on your new job. I would think working in a cabinet shop would be a pretty fun job, getting to see the fruits of your labor. There are certainly much worse things out there to be doing.

See you this Saturday!

Bill

[Paul Mc]

I have found there is nothing more satisfying than seeing the results of your own hands. Gives a whole meaning to job satisfaction.

[Wednesday Caster]

Melamine/sawdust boogers
Now that's funny. Please do not post pics to verify!
Congrats David on ya new yob.

[Joseph Narkevitz]

David,

I am taking a week off to fish the American and the Sac Rivers. (March 16-24). The real reason to come up there, from Santa Barbara, is to see you and go fishing.

It looks like we will be confined to fish the weekends together.

I will be giving you daily fish reports!

Joseph

I (unfortunately) have been infected with the same disease. I started a new job on tuesday and will (unfortuntely) make me miss the show on saturday. I have laid about 1000 sq ft of 18x18 porcelane since then. Funny thing is.... while I was off for those couple of months I got to do very little fishing and havent been able to tye for months; but the kitchen is done and is off to more projects.

Dave.. you and the misses will have to come for dinner sometime.
