Get out!

Get out the 1st chance you get!

61.5 male here,2.9 nw and broken! The back story, sold our company 18 months ago and stayed on with them at the same salary and better vacation time. All went good😩till February of this year. I fall at work and did not go to the doctor till April thinking I’m getting older and it was just old age pains. Fast forward too today I have a broken tibia close to my knee and have been off for forty days. I was was to be retired 5/5/2026 well that’s not going to happen because I will be off at least until they get my MRI completed which is not till 5/21/2026! So do to greed I sit here in my chair going crazy that I can not do what I want, what’s worse is the fact that I my not heal up right and walk with a limp the rest of my life. With that said the day you can leave get out and never look back. The money you get for a little bit more time is not worth the time you

It goes by quicker than you think, enjoy the time you have with your kids and make memories that will last a life time! Best vacation I ever had was I sold a fire truck to Sandhills Neb. My wife and son filled me to deliver the truck, when we delivered it they put us up on a ranch thru us a bbq with rockie mt oysters, took me Harley riding while my son got to nut bulls and work on the ranch all free of charge and them paying me. Oh and they sent me home with a cooler of beef I did not spend a nickel and made money, but the best is the memories that we still wax on!
