Started back when everything was hand cranking machine. Now it's all computer numerical controlled. Either or both I can do.
But,like some people. I dislike change.
Getting to know new co-workers, routines...ECT.

I think a lot of people stick with jobs because change is hard. I know too in the US, there are other things to consider like the health plan and leave. They are big decisions for sure.
But being taken for granted and possibly living in resentment and regret are debilitating to your health and happiness anyway. I think as we age it’s even more important to keep our options open and remember our worth.
Either way, Bob, will send prayers that the right answer comes along soon. But I stand by my statement - know your worth! No one is looking out for your best interests except you!!!

Great news, Pete!!! Glad you are doing well! Good to see you check in.
Agree snooz, would love to hear how Croutie and Leshar are. I thought Wolfy posted recently?

Venus, definitely agree with your sentiments. Life is too short. Never leave a stone unturned.

G'day everyone 
Dee, Mothers Day was ok. I saw Holly. 1 out of 4 is better than none out of four.
I went for a walk along the beach on my own early , it was incredible, the amount of single women, my age , walking alone on the beach Mothers Day morning.
We smiled , gave a knowing nod and the occasional , Happy Mothers Day was said.
I didn't feel alone, somehow , there was like...a code. Mothers in arms.
saw my own beautiful Mum and my brothers were there. No alcohol.
Turned out to be a really lovely day.
I hope All you other Mums and ' cat Mum's had a great day too.
Love to you all

Hey Snooz, I went for a walk just in/around lunchtime around Port Melbourne. It’s funny what goes through ones head. I was thinking, people will think I’m slack, why aren’t I out with my Mum - or some such ridiculous nonsense.
the thing is, my Mum is dead, so it’s not like I have any responsibility on Mother’s day. And all my kids live interstate. And that’s the thing. Everyone has different stories. One day, you are the child on the beach with your Mum, then in years to come, you are walking alone. All those women you saw had their own story. Judgement from others because they chose not to have children, or devastation because they couldn’t, or like me, their Mum simply isn’t around anymore - or too sick with alcoholism to visit. Everyone has a story and it changes over time. One day is a snapshot, not the truth of the whole. I’m glad you got through it. And the spotlight on spending time with your Mum. xx
