Do you realize how much it costs to go to work every day? Not to mention the aggravation of reporting to backstabbing imbeciles.

I took my mini pension and SS, stay home with my pets, and raise tomatoes.

I already had to meet with two people this morning for miscellaneous things and I have to run some errands. But it sure beats being at work!

I don't hate my job. I just hate getting ready for work, driving there and then driving back home.

I took public transportation, but had to drive to the station, pay to park, and use a transit system that didn't offer monthly passes. $200-$300 a month minimum.

Combined with 10-12 hours at the office and trying to get some sleep at home - what was I working for?
