I never thought of myself as being terribly ambitious or willing to take big risks, but there were problems to solve and I tackled them, often creating panic along the way. When I retired, I expected life to improve, but I seem able to extract panic from the simplest of things, with very little effort. I've endured my fair share of misguidedly ambitious people, but I'm not sure that's the primary mechanism by which things go to hell for me. I hope you have a restful and happy vacation, Amanda!

Aislin Ceawlin Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I was lucky enough that when we switched from 8 hour shifts to 12 hour, we were given the opportunity to make our own schedules. Twice a schedule I get 8 glorious days off! It totally makes a difference in how I feel about my job, lol! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peony Sweetwater Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Another vacation buddy here, too! 2 wonderful weeks of school holidays...of course now it means I'll spend most of those 10 hours a day working in my SL store instead... And, yes, I currently have a G&T in my hand. Cheers! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twice a schedule I get 8 glorious days off! It totally makes a difference in how I feel about my job, lol! That’s wonderful ! Part of my “deal” when the headhunter convinced me to put off early-retirement was that I would work 80% “flexible hours”. Literally, as long as I worked 80 hours every 2 weeks and attended all the mandatory meetings I could pretty much only keep office hours on my own schedule (the theory was that most of my employee contact outside of training sessions would be via electronic media). Reality was much different :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My weakness is for margaritas while being unreachable on my deck with a good book :-) I started with a Song of Fire and Ice this year and will probably end up on something trashier :-) Edited July 2, 2018 by AmandaKeen 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure if I went there, this would be the response :-) They probably have me on a list... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
