I worked 6 days a week 12 hour days the summer I was 12. Asked my old man about pay, he said "I saw you eat breakfast and there's a good chance you'll get supper."

Joined the Army @ 17, retired an E8 @ 37 (lordy, it's been 24 years this month). Retired from TxDOT @ 60, got outsourced to a Jap Tech Co. Quit @ 61 1/2.

Worked harder since than past 20 years, loving every minute of it, best job I never had. Some Mondays are just a 3 mile walk, a pitcher of Bloody Marys, and the hot tub.

*** “a pitcher of Bloody Marys, and the hot tub” ***

I have a story about a Pitcher of Gin and Tonic (mostly Gin) and a Hot tub along with the three waitresses
(probably should keep it to myself)
