[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 1215781, member: 1664"] [COLOR=#006400][B] Cold, hard and bitter? I am cool, calm and collected, even though I was raised without A/C in humid, hot, Houston, Tx. Worked til 10pm tonight, and I am not worried how tough Peak might be. Last year my average day was 10.5 hrs. Shinola went out of business in 1960, so there is no comparison to wimp bitchin' about working for money, and a shoe shine. BTW, in 1959 I was 6yrs old and had a shoe shine kit full of shinola. I shined shoes on the corner of Cullen Blvd and Grigg's road for a Quarter a shine. You ask a direct question, "What's holding me back from retiring?". Simple answer. Health Insurance. I was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2010, and had half my colon removed. The reason I have stuck around is to protect my wife from living a life worrying about money if I die a young death and leave her alone. Grief and old age money worries are a tragic thing. Next year I am out of here-(working for UPS)- and will have more income, through mailbox money, than I do working. Then, I will sit back and enjoy the fruits of my labors. I am suppose to thank IBT for "giving" me what I have, but I will not, because they do not deserve the credit. [/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
