Do you have a vindictive streak? Will you go out with a bang? Speaking of streaking...maybe you should run through the store in your birthday suit when your boss is there. Benny Hill music is a must.
No, not vindictive. Just tired. I have thought about doing an all store page announcing '75% off everything in the men's department for the next 5 minutes!' But, they would make me reimburse them for the losses........;-D

I don't think it's an age issue as my manager is the same age. He's just very moody and can be up and down 10 times in a day. He was an assistant manager who was forced to become a manager so that plays into his day-to-day outlook. I get that but it's not my fault and I'm not going to let anyone take things out on me with snide remarks, etc. He's also gay so it can't be anything like that either, unless he's jealous that I still look fabulous at our age......;-D
What type of employment if you do not mind me asking? Maybe a complete change would be better. I worked like a dog to finish culinary arts and threw in the towel when I worked in the industry for only a year. Went back and did the psych for a few years and discovered that I much prefer working with streetpeople than at any other job. I did go back to cooking a few years back and the place was different. La Boheme in Edmonton was the right kind of place. I can tell you one thing, if you are miserable at your workplace, it is better to leave for your mental health if you can manage for a while financially. Change is scary my dear. I think you deserve to be a happy person. You are a wonderful man. Good luck.

Thanks Staro! I'm not sure what I want to do at this point. Just going to see what's out there. I know for sure that I do NOT want to go back to work at a super busy store like where I'm at now. I can't handle the stress anymore. I have 10 years until I reach the retirement age so I am going to try to make those years as blissful as ever.

Just got back from a three and a half hour marathon session at the dentist. Have to go back in two weeks to have the permanent crown put on. My insurance lasts till the end of June so I have to get everything squared away before then.
Yowch!

Feel better soon

Sorry- I'm on my phone at work (on my break) so I had to post that reply

What I meant to say was:

Have a drink!

You deserve one

I made chili in my crock pot today. Got home from the dentist and had a bowl of it. Mistake. Requires too much chewing. I'm thinking about a bowl of ice cream now- less chewing required! :congratulatory:
