    From NANCY BACKUS@1:123/140 to JOE MACKEY on Thu Feb 22 14:10:00 2018
    Quoting Joe Mackey to Daryl Stout on 02-16-18 07:37 <=-

    So far this extended trip is all a dream. I got to get my company to
    realise I'm retired.
    You've got to be joking. :P

    The security company I work for has been having problems with
    prospects being able to pass a drug test. Not the hard stuff, but
    "just" weed.

    So they can't hire enough new prospects to fill the jobs needed...

    Luckily being a ranking officer (lieutenant) I don't generally get
    stuck with dirty jobs any longer. And being retired I can refuse and nothing can be done about it.
    My weekend job is really a piece of cake.
    I'm inside, in a locked building and people with access have cards
    to come and go. I'm just there in case an alarm goes off or something.
    I take my laptop, use my wifi account, and do things there (and
    getting paid for it) that I would normally be doing at home. :)

    Almost like a paid vacation... hard to get those after one retires... ;)

    Joe (but I do like the extra money)
    Aha!! The ulterior motive is revealed!! <g,d,r>

    Well, that does help. :)
    And that money generally goes right into the bank. :)

    So, when you DO finally take that vacation, there'll be no trouble
    paying for it... :)
