I was asked to be a manager once and refused it. Actually told them to put the demand in writing just in case I did a horrible job. No way could I deal with being yelled at from the top and the bottom at the same time. It truly takes a saint at some manager jobs.

I remember my boss admitting to me once, "I like managing, I just don't like the people."

Water. People. Boat.

Insurance is gonna be big.

Did I mention dumb humans on a boat?

You've been working so hard for so long that it would make me really happy to hear that you could finally rest and enjoy at least a semi retirement with your DH. And apologies if you've already talked about this and I just wasn't paying attention...

Wow Tradd! Score!

here’s how it went down:

Tradd’s Management: “we would like you to do this “

Tradd says: “nope “

Tradd’s Management: “ok then here’s $10,000 “

I love this!
