I retired 6yrs ago from my job.
I've been real close friends with my then boss.Last week he told me he had to fire my replacement.
This man had an easy job that paid good money.After a while he started goofing off and not doing his job.He would show up for work and then go goofing off the rest of the day.
What I'm not understanding is why anyone would do this.There was no manual labor involved.All he had to do was see that the work was done.(Maintenance supervisor).He had absolutely no one to check his work or tell him what to do.
I guess he couldn't handle being his own boss.
Anyhow to make a long story short I went back to work helping out until someone is hired for this position.What a mess so many things left undone.Even the maintenance personell were so used to doing nothing.May have a complete turn over by the time I get it straightend out.
Anyhow what with all this ranting what I'm really trying to say is I am too old for this kinda work.Have way less patience than I used to have.
Been taking care of cattle the last 6yrs and with them you accept them being dumb animals.
With people you'd think different.But I've found cattle are a dam sight easier to supervise.
Oh well any how I'm looking forward to retire again. :nod:
