    buddy of mine's family owned a marina in Annapolis... I made fun of him for it... asked him where his silver spoon was. He said it was on the "poor side" of Annapolis.. :laugh:

    owning a marina is not a "silver spoon" experience. Believe me. I have been stuck doing all the maintenance besides mowing the lawn since I was 14 or 15. Shits getting old. Luckily mom's looking to retire and sell it off. If it wasn't a ton of work I would talk her into keeping it and taking it over, but IMO boats are for suckers or the rich. I am neither.

    Ever hear what the second best day of a man's life is? The day he bought his boat. The first best day is the day he sold it.

    I met a boat mechanic with the following to say:

    " I hate boats, I hate boat owners, I hate the water they float upon and the sky under which they rest."

    The interview with the plastics company was going along pretty good, then they mentioned that they were compiling a list of candidates for future possible openings. I kind of ended the interview there and told them I already had an offer from another company. Called the other place when I got home and set up the indoc with human resources for Monday afternoon. I am officially no longer unemployed. I'll be working second shift, hours are a bit wierd, 4 pm to 2:30 am, Monday thru Thursday. Since I'm a night owl anyway, that won't be a problem. Pay is going to be enough for me not to worry about being able to keep this house. I had been considering getting something smaller, but Jodi never really warmed up to that idea. I'm really going to miss being a bum, but it had to end sometime.:eek:

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Sounds like they are getting ready to expand or cut some people loose

    Yeah, they have a new building going up, said it would probably be 6 or 8 months until they start hiring. I asked them to give me a call then if they were still interested just in case the medical place isn't working out for me.

    :cool: Feels good to finally land a job after being turned down so many times. Tough market here in the east, and if you have grey hair on the sides and none on the top, even tougher.
