Rammy's Ramblings

[Bruce]

Sorry your Dad is having such troubles. Hopefully his life was good until recently. Lots of people don't get close to 85.

Seems like you really need to look at what you would LIKE to do. 15 years is too long to live/work miserably.

 

[Rammy]

I dont plan on doing this much longer. As to what Id LIKE to do, I have no idea. Have to figure this out.

Go with your heart, something will come up. It may be 180° from anything you've done before or thought you would do.

I have had jobs that I grew to hate. I have had jobs that were MEH and jobs that I loved. I had a lot of jobs, I'd get bored and go on to the next one. Maybe I have attention deficient disorder..... wait! I see something SHINY!

Point being, maybe it is time to change jobs, maybe it is time to find something to like about your job. Make a list of things you would like to do and how much they pay. Look at help wanted. How much money do you need to make? My daughter is a college professor and complains that she made more money waiting tables. Ha, she could have stayed a waitress and not been deep in debt for her degrees.

Sorry about your Dad. Sometimes I wonder why late life has to be so hard. I want to go like my Grandfather did. He told me "I am going to die in my sleep or all at once. I refuse to be sick." And by golly, he dropped dead with a heart attack one morning while shaving at 76. He was dead when he hit the floor. I'm going to die at 105, riding my horse. I'll get thrown off, hit my head on a rock and die. LOL LOL

You have a lot of things going on right now. You need a break. Take a day trip and go do something fun. Or take a 2 day, overnight trip and go do something fun. You need something to make you laugh. Too bad you are so far away, I'd drag you out and go do something stupid.

Reading posts in @Latestarter's journal about the things you all do, especially the BBQs Latestarter has done, make me wish I lived near you. But I also dont want to get pulled over half a dozen times by the cops like he has! Its also not fair about the pics that get posted of all that yummy food!
Getting away sounds good. I had gone to my freinds in N. C. in July for a few days and had a good time, but I dont think work will like it if I start takkng alot of time off. It might end up I get to take time off for a long time, if you know what I mean. I may look at restaurants since Ive done that before. My neighbor works for a company that drives the elderly to appointments so thats an idea.
I know that something has to change soon before the choice is made for me.

We pull the cops over. We order knives with a seat belt cutter, window knock out and a belt clip. We flag down the cops and give them a knife and thank them for the job that they do.

How many days a week do you work? Is it always the same days? Maybe you could get a night job at a upper scale restaurant a few nights a week or on weekends. That way, if you like it, make good money, the transition might not be so bad. You have options! You are not stuck in the job that you are falling out of love with.

Don't, unless you can and are ready to prove you do the same for everyone you meet on the road. It's a good way to get the officer fired or at least administratively punished. By accepting the gift, the officer is breaking Texas law.

Relevant Law and Analvsis A. Decisional Law Construing Section 36.07 of the Penal Code Section 36.07 of the Penal Code prohibits “a public servant” from soliciting, accepting, or agreeing to accept an honorarium “in consideration for services that the public servant would not have been requested to provide but for the public servant’s official position or duties.” TEX. PEN. CODE ANN. 5 36.07(a) (Vernon 2003). The section provides:
(a) A public servant commits an offense if the public servant solicits, accepts, or agrees to accept an honorarium in consideration for services that the public servant would not have been requested to provide but for the public servant’s official position or duties.

I think just about every cop in our area has one.

Thats an idea. I may go to some places says their hiring to put in an application. Might help me decide what to do.
