Well that leaves me out. I hate math which is why I married a woman with a Masters in Math Education. I let her do the math for me.......:)

Me too, but after about 10 years, she gave up teaching, started doing and teaching taxes, got an Enrolled Agent certificate, then a CPA.  Then went to work in corporate accounting.    But I have bachelor's and masters' degrees in theoretical math.

I'm good with math, degree in Computer Science/Management.  I must admit, I was intrigued.  Then I got to the part about lifting 40-50 pounds overhead.  My fused spine started screaming at me.  As Emily Latella (SP?) once said, on Saturday Night Live, Never mind.

I too am good at numbers. If I take my shoes and socks off I can count to 20. If I drop my pants I can go all the way up to 21.

I am tired of the cold. I am allowing myself to be negatively impacted by the cold, i.e., I'm whining a lot about how cold I am all the time. I just do not like the cold any more.

If I should ever move to Florida, I would do so only to live there and not work.

I noticed that the ad for employment mentioned twice "Attendance and punctuality are important to the success of this position." Is that in reference to that type of job or the employment situation in Florida in general?

To quote Rosanne Rosanadana, from Saturday Night Live, "Well, Jane, it just goes to show you, it's always something -- if it ain't one thing, it's another.

Gene,
  While I can't speak for this employer I can understand the part about Attendance and punctuality. Florida is a state of transient people. Some stay forever, some are here for the winters and some are here for a day to a week. Employers run into all types. And the nature of transient is not really a highly employable people. Nothing bad about the people I was one once, but it is what it is.
  Also looking at it from an employer standpoint I have seen, in my short stint here, people that come to an interview, seem like they want the job, never show up and I am left hanging with WTF just happened LOL. So this company seems to be just trying to put it on the table and not have to deal with the no shows, late shows etc. Good luck to them.
  I have really been pretty lucky when it comes to employees. Most of mine have been responsible.

Talked to my daughter's father-in-law a couple of weeks ago.  He and his brother run a small third-generation  bakery.

He has the same problem, getting people to show up regularly.   Millenials, near-retirees, doesn't matter.   They either get enough money to get by for the moment, or start reaching the point where their welfare payments will stop.   So they don't show up.

How much was that gig paying again? maybe I should be like that wave of illegals that have started walking across the border and applying for refugee status. Maybe your government would feed and house me until they could re-locate me to Florida. If they can flee your president I should be able to flee this weather.



We had a blizzard come through Monday and Tuesday. It had been quite mild so it started with rain, then freezing rain, then snow as the temps fell. We got 41 cm or about 14" of snow with winds gusting to 95 km/hr or just shy of 60 MPH. Roads were closed,  we closed the shop, just ugly. I spent 3-4 hours just to clean out the driveway yesterday.

Close to 70 F today. High of 32 F tomorrow. I wish these politicians would make up their minds on global warming.
