moneypitmike Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Dad is 58 now. Will be 60 when looking to retire. 32 years in the post office. As he says, "Used to be a great job". Basically for new employees it is hell. Understaffed, mismanaged, and overwhelmed. My boss created our division in the company. He made it about a 1.5 million dollar company when I joined over 11 years ago. I was among the 3,4, and 5th people to join (the three of us started on the same day). Subsequently, he grew the business to about 40 million a year and over 100 full-time employees during that time. Exciting years for all involved, and it's sad for us to have him go. But, he was able to cash out and call it a day. You never know what tomorrow might bring, so if the opportunity to step out is there, I'd take it in a heartbeat.

moneypitmike Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 people have no idea what that kind of money does. I'd spend a lot of time cutting/splitting firewood and working on the lawn. Wife made me turn around. Maybe I'll sneak out when she goes to bed. WHo knows--maybe one of those bands will park itself right over your house.

I definitely consider myself to be a planner, but high risk high reward. Weird to think of the variety of different options life can head for me in the next few years. Not sure where I will end up, but I hope its the right place. Definitely have some good things on the table potentially whether its coaching, journalism, media relations, or working for a sports franchise... but what's the right choice... who knows yet!

Should be below freezing in a few hours and stay that way for a day or 2 The cooler air's not filtering down yet. I thought it had started, but it's reversed and going back up at a ludicrously fast clip--suddenly at 35.9 (high of the day), a climb of over 3* in about 10 minutes. Wind's picking up though so I imagine the drop back will begin soon enough. Now from the NW, it had been WSW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Up another degree in the 3 minutes since my last post. I guess this is the compressional warming (??) that Scott explained to me post-frontal passage. 36.9/36, wind continuing to pick up. Time for bed.

moneypitmike Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 fyp It would make the lack of qpf much more bearable. Like in the movie, Arthur: "Have you ever been on a yacht?" "No, is it wonderful" "It doesn't suck". Ugh. Up to 37.4. I'm outta here, can't bear to watch it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are mixing out the shallow CAD armass you had earlier. Air is warmer aloft than at the surface and once FROPA occurs in earnest, then you mix down the warmer air...eventually it will become colder as aloft cools behind the front, but for a brief time, the temps spike up.

CT Valley Snowman Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Yeah so the stats say we made it close to our projected highs but everyone knows its BS. Shallow cold air mass and inversion won for most of the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Meh, I could walk right now with a comfortable 6 figure retirement income. Not ready just yet. I feel like I still have much to give which in and of itself gives to me. But I take a day off whenever I damn please for my sanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 You are mixing out the shallow CAD armass you had earlier. Air is warmer aloft than at the surface and once FROPA occurs in earnest, then you mix down the warmer air...eventually it will become colder as aloft cools behind the front, but for a brief time, the temps spike up.I learned that painful lesson after the conclusion of the Dec 16, 2007 super swfe. My Euphoria over the victory of maintaining snow until ending as drizzle was abruptly dashed as my temp spiked from a benign 33°, up to a the most corrosive, saturated 38° imaginable...as my immaculate ~2' cement pack was battered down to most asethetically unappealing, soggy, pitted, disaster...averaging about 14", with areas where water lie beneath reduced to about 8". The mets comfort you with cries of "the front will be through soon", but make no mistake about it, the downslope dandy cold air advection took about 12 hours to arrive. All the while, locales 10 miles inland maintain protective pack glaze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
