Gents, I'm sorry for my outburst, Sorry for the attitude toward ya. :-[

I for some reason got sensitive and am somewhat ashamed for it, I'm a bigger man than that

There was no reason for it period.

Avid, surley believe I'am sorry-Long Mike I feal bad as well for this. please accept my apologize's.

I must confess because I peed off the wife that day as well, therefor something was bothering me that I thought I was O.K. with and I took it out on others, but, I sleep with the wife so I gotta take her out for dinner-sorry guys hope  my apologize is good enough

but, I sleep with the wife so I gotta take her out for dinner-

No problem dude. be aware though,  that I'm easy.

Long Mike may require something more than dinner....

Thanks Avid, as for being easy I'm O.K. with that, as long as your not CHEAP! ;D

It would take a very small-minded man to not understand that everyone has a very bad day once in a while.  It also takes a REAL man to publicly admit when he has made a mistake.  It's all water under the bridge.  I would feel much better though, if you would send me a Gift Certificate for Outback Steak House.  

Thanks as well LongMike, I'm afraid I only have used up gift cards for the steak House.

I really thank ya guys for being understanding about it. I believe its been my job latley(more like the past 2 years) I do not enjoy it much anymore, I thought it was what I wanted being a manager at a production plant-but, 16 years and I look back and accomplished only financial gains, the rest is sad in my oppinion.

Its a general labor work pool and the company expects Doctor degree workers. I'm sick of canning people(which is what happen that day)-I mean truly sick of it, even if they desrve it or not-I'm sick of it. it seems I can't find a reward in this line of work except a money gain.

I'm older now and I guess I want more of a reward than just a paycheck-sure would like to feel good at the end of the day instead of being pushed to tell others to WORK,PUSH,WORK!

You know what I would love to do??? Make donuts for a living surely there's no pressure there, you waited for red sprinkles to come in and instead green ones come-so you still get to use them. What if you had a wrong shape donut come out? eat it ;D Man get up at 2:30 a.m. and be home by noon. sounds good and relaxing to me, not to mention the coffee

"Buds," For too many years, like you, I had to be the *** - first as an Operations Manager for a large oil field service company, and then, for the last ten years, running my own marble restoration business.  I got so sick and tired of the incessant employee problems that one day, about two years ago, I said "Screw it. I'll do it myself."

I now work alone, but I have the luxury of choosing the jobs I wish do, when I wish do do them.  I don't make a lot of money these days, but I have the great good fortune of being married to a successful CPA.  Our kids are grown and gone, so it's just the two of us.

Yep, I'm seeing it isn't all about the money is it.

I'm already tired LongMike, tired of haven to be expected as an Johnny on the spot Boss man ready rock some heads-its getting old.

I see DONUTS in MY FUTURE

running my own marble restoration business.

I know this guy named Muddy who could definitly use that service.
