RE: OT- big time/now age

that's pretty much the management view at the nursery, bonnie. our payroll lady is older than i am as is one of the cad operators. the guy who drives the dump truck is 2 year younger, the executive assistants are both in their 60s, and the paver supervisor is also in his 60s. the only truly young employees are the ones who do the heavy lifting.

That would be job security, Jim?

As for septuagenarians, I can only hope to make it that far to have an
opinion to share.  I do believe experience is a wise teacher and rather than
thinking of our senior population as a drag on society, I believe seniors
are a valuable resource we are silly not to exploit for knowledge gained
over the years--gardening and otherwise. :>D

or the boss walks in with a kinda funny smile and says he meeting with some
folk$ in boca grande tonight and really needs a proposal to $eal the deal.
so for today, i'm in at 6:15 this morning and out at 4:45 this evening,
with a banana for breakfast and a candy bar for lunch. the proposal was for
a $250k landscape and, if sold tonight, will meet payroll on into june.

on the way home, i'm listening to NRP and some one is interviewing a
"septuagenarian" about something and i grin and think "what would that old
fart know about anything?" about a block farther down the street, i realize
i'm one of those septuagenarian old farts, also.
