The ghost fleet of the recession

[Chadman]

Kind of an interesting story reflecting the down worldwide economy. Kind of eerie to read, but maybe worth a look.

DOES NOT LOOK GOOD AT ALL! THINGS ARE GOING TO GET WORST! HOPE I AM DEAD WRONG FOR ONCE, WHAT GET ME, A GREAT COUNTRY LIKE UNTED STATES WOULD ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN! I STILL DON'T GET IT!
OUR GOVERMENT LET US DOWN! SHAME ON THEM, HOPE THING WILL TURN AROUND SOON

ARE YOU BACK TO WORK YET,
HOPE ALL IS WELL CHADMAN

Hey, thanks for asking, Ray. I am still working 2/3 days a week every week, and have gone back to school, doing online study full time. Tired of fighting the economy and business angles, and going to become a teacher and coach, hopefully, in a couple of years. Hoping to spend the later years of my life enjoying it more, and stressing less, with every summer off to play golf, work in the yard, and travel with my wife, who can set her own schedule, pretty much.

I feel for you guys that are feeling the pinch, I really do. Hang in there.

Good for you Chad--making lemon aid out of lemons--attitude of a true champion.:toast:

Not saying this for any political reason--but teaching or any state gov/job is probaly most stress free- little axiety of losing job-and great benefits--and more importantly- summer off to play golf

Thanks, Wayne. Honestly, there's no way I could manage to go back to school in this manner if I didn't have such a supportive and successful wife who pushed me to follow this plan. I've chosen to be extremely aggressive with the school schedule to complete it ASAP and get on with life. It is very difficult some days, but should be worth it in the long run.

I have no doubt that teaching high schoolers will be stressful from time to time, let alone coaching them, but I really enjoy that age group, and like the give and take that my classes will hopefully provide. I'm going to try to change the culture of learning, and probably will get myself in trouble with superiors in doing it. But, hey, I'll be relatively old and definitely crazy, so they might just leave me alone to teach in a fun way for the kids.

And, don't get me going on the advantages of summers off in Minnesota... :00hour

Chad,

Raymond is a lost cause on spelling and grammar :mj07:

Ray hookedonphonics.com give Chad a call after completing the entry level test:mj07: Hope things get better for those struggling and straining right now. Not to far from ya Ray if you r in PA. I know the deal around here. BoL to all in these times of pity

I'll give it my best, pally, but as I said, I kind of want to lower my stress, not raise it. I'll think of something, though...
