"Flo, I'm in a rare good mood!
I'll have Steak and Eggs with 1/2# of bacon, 1/2# of Maple sausages and 4 slices of toast! Also keep the coffee cup full! Put it on Terrys tab today! and if crys about getting stuck with the bill then tack 1/2 on Karls bill!"
Yes, good mood!
Hard to believe, I start my second job next saturday! Friday got a letter from Pasco County, that Rick Scott our govener has decide to make all State and local Government employees Pay 5% into our own Retirement fund!
Basically Unless your already retired or in the DROP you will be starting over from scratch with your retartedment! I wouldn't care if we were still getting pay raises and due promotions as NORMAL.....But State of Florida Employees haven't seen a pay raise in over 3 years! and Most Have LOST more than 15% in reduction in their pay checks and been demoted down several positions! Plus we're still having Layoffs! My department is fixing to lose 16 more employees! I lost 25%, My job, and my marriage to this Sad State!
I'm still in a good mood though, and the steps I'm making in the direction I'am going is the right way to go! Some of my fellow Employees are seeing what i'm doing a are taking notes!
Things I learned:
1. Never think a Job is forever and you will get the chance to retire from it!
2. No matter how great your job is never assume it's the best! There's
Better!
3. Never just rely on One JOB, Have at least one primary and one back up!
Changes I made:
1. KNOW and REMEMBER.. that After being laid off and divorce, Nothing is
written in stone as FOREVER!
2. Never stop Applying to all jobs of interest! Keep looking for better, you
never know whats around the bend.
3. Never rely on ONE income to be enough! A second Job my cut into your
R&R time a little but the second job will yield and added income to get
ahead,More freedom to do things when time is there, and makes it easier
to take on new jobs to help improve your income!
Either way I on the way to self improvement!
and I got a big head start!
