I can't do that from my phone and my laptop sucks so no time soon. I still have the 2001 so it's still ok.

I figured out I have walked about 60 miles at my new job so far. I am so wore out each day when I get home.

I just found out yesterday that a friend of mine died a few days ago. He was one year younger than me. Not sure what from. I am assuming something health related as his obituary just says it was unexpected. Probably heart related. That will make you look at life a little differently.

Sad to hear about your friend. You just never know when that might happen but does make you realize how quick things can change.
How long have you been at the new job? Lots of changes.

Good morning Jim. Happy Friday and thank you.

Started the new job April 5th. Very different from what I did. Before I sat at the computer all day. Now I am on my feet all day.

If you don't mind me asking, what do you do at the new job? So you are walking around 3-4 miles a day, that is a lot of moving

I am working at an electrical distributor. Learning their product and processes. Answering phones, helping people walking in the door, lots of order filling and checking in and putting away new shipments, rearranging the warehouse. A little of everything. Eventually ordering some product, quotes, research, pricing adjustments.

He was married to the younger sister of one of my best friends.
