For those at work


I needed something pleasant to enjoy while I work. This is great.

You have my sympathies.

I can describe everything I miss about working in the corporate world in one word...

Nothing.

reply

What, you don't want enjoy a little jazz? That's unfortunate. I quite enjoy it while I run my store. Customers don't mind it either. It goes well with Antiques.

reply

Sorry, I didn't watch your video. If you are having a good time while at work, great, one is happy for you.

Have you ever worked in an office night and day - dealt with bosses, co-employees and customers, sometimes for 15 hours a day? I did - for years.

Don't miss it one bit.

reply

It's just a video of jazz playing in the background.

If you were going 15 hour days in an office, you're being misused by your employer or you're mishandling your work prioritization.

Or you're in the military doing work at the unit and preparing for Annual training.

Well, I must have done something right because I retired in my early 40s.

Been doing as I please since.

It's a much better life.

Ok, I appreciate your thoughts. Right now I have to go. NIce chatting with you....

Best wishes

That's not adding up.

reply

Not sure what you mean.

reply

I agree, that does seem like a cool combo.

I used to live in a small town with several antique stores near my home. I used to enjoy browsing through them on my days off. I've got a few items from them in my house at this time.

No work until Mondy 🍻👍

Lazy 😉. It's going to get busy with the holidays.

reply

Lazy? Let’s call it good Time Management.

Busy? Not for me, December is the quietest time for me, so I always have 6 weeks off and go away.

I haven’t spent Christmas or New year at home in 40 years. In fact, my 10 year old daughter has never had a Christmas or New Year in her own country.

We earn most of our profits during this time. People love looking for nostalgia.

reply

What industry are you in?

reply

I own an antique store.

reply

I love antiques, especially ‘Americana’ and folk art pieces.

My little barn out back in the woodlot is decorated with all sorts of old tools, deer antlers, a few paintings, farming implements, oil cans, lanterns… it’s been a life long hobby and you do meet some interesting people!

reply

It's interesting stuff. That sells well and so do hand powered tools.

reply

Antiquers and flea market people are fun, they all have their stories, and a lot of them know some interesting stuff.

But I have to stop amassing so many relics, the barn is full, the tin shed is getting crowded and if die in a car wreck next week I don’t know what my wife will do with hundreds of old items only I appreciate.

SHE'S GONNA CALL BUCKLEBILLY AND HE IS GONNA OFFER HER 30 BUCKS FOR THE LOT.😐

Cool 😎
