since this corona crap started and our brain dead governor decided to give everyone unemployment plus 600 everyone decided why work when i can get $1,272 per week free???
i have had one day off since the end of feburary.(besides my regular sat/sun)
but since most of that work has been for the fed at post offices, i have been on federal prevailing rate for the past 3 1/3 months.
my average weekly pay these past 3 1/2 months had been $2,800 per week.
now that the free ride is almost over the slackers want to come back to work........
the guy i do rental for replaced all the no shows with people that wanted to work. and we sold two of the other three trucks.
the one remaining is for a long time driver that is out on sick leave, he is recovering from lung cancer surgery.

Tried retiring at 50 almost 15 years ago. Went well for about 5 years but I needed something structured to do. Still work 1 or 2 days a week just to get out. Come and go as I please and get to BS with people. Life is good.
