There are several issues, but the first one is that I had a job that sucked really bad. Pay was okay but it was really phyiscally hard, the place was dirty, and the company was a mind killer. No thinking allowed. The whole place was a reverse career move, if you know what I mean.

My wife had lousy work, too, and kept bouncing through the agencies. So I kept at it. Now, she makes much more than I did, and has benefits for me that are even better than I had for myself. Her vacation, sick time, insurance and 401K started immediately...you get the picture....

Secondly, I hurt my back lifting back in September. Really. I am getting older after all, and I was doing tasks that I once did easily at 30. Persistent sharp pain and an MRI finally showed 2 bulging disks in the lumbar area. I have an active Workers Comp claim over it and my doctor put me on work restrictions and light duty a while back. The company didn't really appreciate that, but they reluctantly gave me bench work anyway

Recently, when the company started to experience a work slowdown, I suspect that I was deemed non-versatile. I signed a piece of paper stating that I was "Terminated...Lack of work".

Funny too...that was 1 week short of 1 year when I'd be eligible for vacation time....Oh Hey! That would be today!

My hubby always tells people just when he had me making enough so he could retire, I quit. He could easily retire now but then he'd have to be with me & that's worse than working Grin

When I'm down, or just lazy, he's a great cook and housekeeper. He even folds clothes.
This winter has been so warm I've not had any time I couldn't ride, but the wind has been unbelievable. Guess I could have worked on the bike then but only gave her a loving pat as I went by.
