Later today at the lake

Hi Gerty! That is just wonderful that you get to hike and see such beauty after you finish your job. I don't have any outside jobs. I just work at home.

Maggiepie and I will sometimes watch a movie

That sounds lovely! What a wonderful thing that you guys can share together. I forget, how long have you two been married? I remember how you met. Which by the way, is such a cool story. I thought about you two when the tornadoes hit last week. Where they anywhere near where you two were working?

That sounds like so much fun. I love my part time job and I give thanks that they rae still keeping the position still open to me when I return back home . I love to check the place, speak to the staff and then just walk to the ocean as I am happy by the sea. I once saw some manateees and that was fantastic. Just waiting on date now for surgery and the lack of stress has increased my general health immensley. Of course I am not forgetting the many prayers said for me and really just want it over and done with. Blessings.

Hi GG Sounds really interesting and exciting for sure! I am so happy reading this - I mean when I see people around who get much stressed with what they do as a profession - personally, I always feel that one should opt for jobs which excite them or are a passion with them. Luckily when I worked, I was a teacher - one job that doesnt allow much of "freedom" but yes, I was quite passionate about it and hence I could enjoy it. Today when I work as a website developer, I enjoy that too - though these days, I am all alone at my work being a freelancer and staying at home... still, I do enjoy the great discussions between me and my few clients who do provide me so much newness to learn

It is lucky to do a job and have fun at the same time. When I was in retail line, I was responsible for a chain of supermarkets. I needed to make sure the business is profitable and that the store managers are doing their jobs. I felt very satisfactory when we produced the result according to the business plan we set. I worked 12 hours days but I never felt bored or tired because the work was interesting and fun. I changed to another job when our chain of stores were bought by a big national chain. Now I am working 8 hours day but it is boring and no fun at all.

Any job I do I try and make it fun. I have also did this with my kids. Such as something like cleaning. I turned cleaning in to some sort of game, made it fun for the kids. As they got older.

Doesn't I get expensive to change the locks for every guest? Dad owns a rental cabin, and they just give the key back at the end of their stay.

That sounds delightful Gerty. I think I'd be tempted to play at being Goldilocks or at least to camp there for a night.

Wow that was fun fishing and have a trip on the lake. I can still remember when I was a kid we owned a fishing boat and my father was a fisherman. I help them to clean the boat for I know I can go with them to catch fish later. Everyday they went to the ocean to catch some fish and sell it to the market. I enjoyed and got really excited every time I go along with them while catching a lots of fish on the net they trow on to the water. My father was really enjoyed in what he's doing, I really missed that days.

I used to have neat friends and we would laugh and be silly at times. One time I was working in a group that had a really good sense of humor. We would get silly requests being call directors and would laugh and carry on like kids. Glad we had a head set that we could turn off and on so the customer couldn't hear us.

i used to be able to make the job i had at the comfrence center and condominiums cleaning fun. i was much younger then and it was a beautiful place with lakes and orchards and lovely little apartments and the girls i worked with was so much fun. the way we would joke and walk around the lakes and such at times. it was a ball

Doing anything grudgingly will end up in depression. There is hardly anything I do that I do not enjoy - even doing the dishes which is new to me. I have always had maids at my beck and call and now things here in India have changed in that maids are now a rare commodity. The joy I get to see my kitchen platform sp.c and span after the dishes are done more than makes up for the dislike I have for this particular chore!.

It is really a job that serves two ends.You can not only earn some but admire the scenery.It sounds as if the place you live in is a health resort and the like which attract many holiday-makers and anglers.It is fist time for me to learn that some anglers go somewhere to fish and live in a cabin for a couple days .Over here they usually go and come back on the same day.Can you tell me why you change the locks after one group leaves?

That does sound like fun. Well, I have been fortunate as the last job I had before retiring was almost always fun. I did not have to wait until the work day was over. Everyone should be so lucky.

hi GardenGerty oh that does sound like a neat job and the lake and flowers and wild life , great. I did have a job I loved shelving media in out local library as I am an avid reader and the crew there were so great to work with.it was like working with family. we all knew eachother and worked so great together. I wor ked in the library for 23 years and was retired at age 80 because the second in comman a new woman did not like the idea of an 80 year old wo man working in her library what they did was against the law as library headquarters fired both women for firing me because I was nearly 80 as they said I did very goo work. you cant fire someone because of age alone unless they are poor workers. well they w anted me to come back but I had a bad fall , fractured myshoulder so badly I had to have shoulder joint replacement and thus lost most of the use of my left arm so my days of working were kaput. but it was a fun job.

I do cleaning for a living but the areas i go to is not like yours. I usually go shopping after to get needed things while im out of the house already.

That sounds like a great little job that you have there. Anything out in the natural environment is always fun. I have nearly always worked in factories so turning up the radio and having a bit of a sing along or a dance at work always gets a laugh out of people. Sometimes now that I am working from home I still do that, but there is rarely anyone looking who will see it! When I worked on the lifts at a ski resort, sometimes we had a radio and would do the same thing. Guests would love it when we fooled around and had fun. I remember one day a skier kept coming through our lift time and time again because he said we were more fun than the people at the other lifts!

I often browsed in the internet for houses or cabins by the lakes/ creeks. They all promised beauty, peace and romance. I think to really live in one of the cabins for a long time would be difficult. But you have a nice job, to combine work with pleasure of seeing all those scenery.

It is so romantic for you guys enjoying after finishing works...
