A job for Bob

He has it, provided I/we can get this onboarding finished. The recruiter told us the site has problems.

@LindaOHio I did the last three things tonight but they are not showing completed yet. In fact his I 9 would not let me "finish and sign". I emailed the recruiter.

@GardenGerty I hope you can overcome the problems.

It will be healthier for him and mentally healthier too.

@MarieCoyle Well it did not work out. The system was so messed up we became concerned that it would also mess up the payroll.

@GardenGerty Yes, it will. The longer people can be active and feel productive, the better.

If we can get this paperwork done he will get to do it.

@GardenGerty Yay!

@AmbiePam I am much better on computer stuff than he is. I hope he catches on to the parts he has to do on his phone.

This is actually how his last job started with the other merchandising company. They wanted me, but I had a job that would not work with it. They hired him, starting at 12 hours per week and finished with forty.

@DaddyEvil If they add too much he can always say "no". I thought of Pretty while I was doing this unforgiving, unhelpful paperwork.

@GardenGerty As long as he enjoys it, then more power to him.

It is, and it is all in Dollar stores.

He always liked merchandising. 50 would be too young for me to retire. We could always use more money.

@porwest And you planned well. We were neither of us smart enough when we were young enough. We do like to travel when we can.

@GardenGerty I was not always "smart," but things worked out. I did get into business very early and that helped a great deal. Very early in life I said, "I want to be a millionaire." The difference was that I didn't just say it. I also grouped myself with some people, and maybe I got lucky being in their circle, who very early on said to me, "If you ever want to get rich, a paycheck won't ever do that for you." Getting rich is not ever achieved through working for someone else. It's achieved by owning things. The key was that someone had to not only tell me that... I had to listen to them and forget what everyone else told me before that lesson which was... "Get a good job, work hard and you will retire comfortably." I learned very early on that was a lie. That is in NO WAY to disparage hard work. Getting rich is not easy. It requires great risk, intestinal fortitude, and INTENSE work. You have to be able to stomach losing $20k or $100k and still sleep at night. It's just to say that working alone is rarely the answer. At the same time, not everyone can BE rich. The world needs worker bees or it doesn't function. And it's NOT to say either, that the worker bees get screwed or is somehow diminished. They just lead different lives and have different retirements. It also doesn't mean I am fully retired. I am still involved in business. I'm just in more of a passive role. All I have to do is invest my money in good businesses run by smart people, and they will make me all the money I will ever need.

He will like it and it will get him doing more physically, which is good for both body and brain.

@kareng My doctor says she does not see me ever retiring.

@GardenGerty Exactly!

It will keep him physically active.

@celticeagle Yes. Especially since I still work.

@GardenGerty .......that is important after retirement.

It is. He loved merchandising before.

We just need to get the paperwork done. Oh, and he lost his Social Security Card and has gone an ordered a new one.

He gets lonely when I work and he does not.

@GardenGerty I can understand that.

Yes, the treatments he had last year seem to have taken care of the ongoing problems he had.

@GardenGerty That's the good news. He's blessed by the Almighty

He has or had an account but it is not his thing.

@GardenGerty Yvonne was the same. She did it for a while and lost all interest because she couldn't compete with me.

@Ineeddentures Bob just likes people he can see in person. We have met a few lotters, or former lotters.
