Well yes and no. I am thankful to have a job, but after 15 yrs with the state, it is getting old quick, we have had no pay raises in about 7 yrs, we have seen decresses in our retirement, and insurance, we have had to take furloughs, and let me tell you that hurts, 200 from one ck can really mees you up. I do like helping the one's that truly need help, ie; cancer paitents, the elderly, some single mothers, those who are divorced or widowed, not the baby factory for benifits mom's,. But overall I am very disappointed in the way we have been treated by our leaders, they screwed it all up and we must pay. I am looking to retire very soon, so I can get my retirement out before it is gone.My job is not stable anymore no future, no replacements will be hired anytime soon, so yes its dismale, lol. But chub, I can lay down some mean licks on a bass guitar, been playing for over 25 yrs, I make some extra when the gigs come up,thats my passion, music and fishing.lol
