Dean, you are getting far to helpfull and clear/concise about your thoughts, it must be time for you to leave this forum
My job does allow me an inordinate (almost criminal) amount of time off at times just wait until I retire and really have to much time on my hands.
I'm not turning in my man card until he turns in his utility belt.
Hell if you based my status on my job I wouldn’t even be allowed to have a man card. We can’t even wear tools on our belts have to carry them in tool bags now. They don’t call it the “Scared Force” for nothing.
