F $%#$%^& work for yourself // sometimes it sucks // but I,m fishing my ass off right now & catching // & I ain,t stopping ...

Johnny / it all depends what ya want in life & how much bull s hit you,ll take // years ago when my family was still all in the house /// I had a tit job //but still had to bust my ass // I worked as accountant for ITT for 15.5 years //I was nuts then too /but they wouldn,t get rid of me because i was a good worker & was real good with numbers // I had full medical ,dental ,a investment account ,5 weeks vacation ,plus sick days ,holidays , life insurance/& a descent pay // but I still commercial fished /both rod & reel & quahauging ..
well One day I just quit /at age 36 to go full time commercial fishing // I never looked back & I,d do it again // I,ve never worked for anyone else again & that was 22 years ago // In the next few weeks /once I figure things out /I,ll find a way to scale down even more ///

Sandman is soooooooooooooo right // F $%^& retirement /too mant people count the days until ============== and they never get to see it //

save ,work for a rainy day / why ?????//// either ya make things work or wait for the sun to come out ><>><><><>

Oh almost forgot // when I worked for ITT /almost every lunch I went to the Portuguese Sport Club // shooting pool & drinking C/C & coke ////WTF
I would have been higher up in management if I was a golfer ,Instead of a fisherman ..............................<>>>><<>><

ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE !!!
