    Had the best steak I’ve ever had in Omaha at Spencer’s steakhouse as me and friend drove from Boston back to Southern California

    @AzfromOz , beautiful scenery. Damn, your vacation place looks amazing.

    I've been trying to start to plan a vacation in early May. If all goes well, I'll be headed to eastern North Carolina, because I've got some friends I haven't seen in way too long there. The last time I was there was March of 2018, and it was colder there than here in central Minnesota, though that changed the day after I left. I'm hoping for some sun and warm weather, and some good beach time. Fingers crossed that I can pull it off. It's not money, but just making sure work is ok without me there. I do close a lot, almost every shift, and there's not a lot of closers besides me.

    Thanks, mate! It's the father-in-law's property, and it's an absolutely gorgeous spot.

    I used to feel guilty about taking vacations, but a dose of chemo and radiation therapy will change that outlook pretty quickly!

    Cheers!

    Life is too damn short, and I missed out on too many things in the past. I've been thinking about this a lot more since the funeral for my friend's mom on Wednesday. I just mainly have to make sure there's coverage, and, what I'm planing is not during the huge wine sale at work. A co-worker was asking me why not earlier, like March, because it's so cold here now. I said I want to swim in the ocean, and my friend there said it should be good in April or May.

    That it is, and assuming you're a 1973 baby like me, who knows how much longer we've got!!!

    Never forget you owe your work nothing, and no-one will look after your life other than you...

    Cheers!

    Yes, I am a vintage 1973. I know there's likely fewer days ahead than behind. I just work hard and I am very happy in a lot of ways with my life now. Missing one element, but still looking for that piece of the puzzle.

    Well, I do owe work something, and that's my best effort there when there. I know that I give that, and the owner, and CEO of the company, and all higher ups think I am doing so, because they all tell me so. No they aren't blowing smoke up my butt either, but being honest.

    Yep, good point. You, of course, owe your work your best efforts while you're there because they're paying you to be there. I certainly didn't mean to infer you can go in to work and slack off. I mean, you owe them nothing in terms of your life because, at the end of the day, they run a business and make decisions based on what's best for the business, not what's best for you. If I'm wrong, and you've got a boss that puts you first, then hold on to that job as long as you can!!!

    Cheers!

    I work in a locally owned small business. The owner of the company is in my store often, and she tells me how much she appreciates all I do for the company. I have no desire to leave and work for my success as well as the success of the business.
