Failing health forced me into retirement. Money is not so much of a problem, but the boredom is a killer!

The first hour of the day when I get in belongs to me, check email, surf around update a few things...
Then around 9 ish..Its time for coffe a few hot pockets, walk around the ware house point out a few things that need to be done..
By that time its around 10 am, jump back on the 'puter check out how Tiger and Michael Jackson are doing...Before you know it, it's time for an early lunch (11:30) Take a 1.5 hr lunch, 1:00 rolls around back on the 'puter and check out the weather for the next few days,
by then its around 2 ish, time for another break..
Back from break, make a few calls handle a few issues, point a few fingers.. see who else is surfing on the net in the office, tell them to get back to work..
back on the 'puter see whats going on in here and before ya know it, it's 4:30 and time to pack it in for the day...
It's good to be the boss......Sometimes...
