      I recall when I first started in parking, in 2002, I had a sergeant as   
   my super. (Remember, I was working for a large security company and   
   contracted to the university).  It was in mid January and my super gave me one   
   hour   
   of inside training (going over th   
      I found out later the "important" work she had to was playing games on   
   her computer.   
      She would only go out when the weather was nice, in the 65-78 range and   
   sunny.  Even then it was only for an hour or so.   
      One day the chief of police was in our office "suggesting" Debbie go out   
   and ticket.  She replied she would and kept on playing.  He told her a   
   couple of more times she should do something, each time more sternly.    
      She finally grabbed a ticket book, stomped out and returned an hour   
   later and back to her games.   
      She is the one I replaced and few were sorry to see her leave.

      Yep.

      I feel the same way.  Being out in the field I have a good idea what's   
   going on in general.   
      
   > I forget which corporate giant said he'd rather sell 100 $10 items than 1   
   $1,000 item.   
      
     Old Henry Ford was like that with his Model T.  While some long gone   
   companies were happy selling a handful of expensive cars, he made money (and   
   stayed in business) selling lots of less expensive ones.   
      
   > You're on the payroll, or they pay you cash per requested shift?   
      
       I'm on the payroll.     
       My company used temps at one time when lots of people needed for a   
   special event.  They were paid cash for the time they worked, with paperwork   
   they signed they would pay the taxes due.  Then it was up to them to report   
   those earnings, with a copy of the    
     No idea how that worked out, but the boss was covered.  :)   
      
   > Do they automatically stop deducting for SSN or do you still pay at the same   
   rate as everyone else?   
      
     Yep.  Federal/state taxes, city user fee (actually a tax for working in   
   the city, just not called a tax), unemployment, SS, and the list goes on.

      No such things here I'm aware of.  When one retires the state keeps the   
   money.

     I don't have a lot invested and frankly don't recall what the money is   
   in.  Half is in bonds.  Pays little but safe, and half is in the market.   
     In early 2020 with lockdowns and all, that was wiped out, but recovered a   
   few months later.   
     One has to be in for the long haul and not get jumpy when the market goes   
   up and down like it does.  Just hang on and enjoy the roller coaster ride.

   > >    Boy, its getting deep in here.  You've been hanging around with Daryl   
   too much.  :)   
   >

     More of the Suck up to the Mod Society.  :)   
      
   > As to hanging with Daryl -- he started it!   
      
     As he usually does.  :)   
     In May and June 2019 I took a six week vacation and traveled around the   
   country seeing things and visiting friends.  One of the people I visited was   
   Daryl.   
     I found it humourous when telling people here I was going to visit some   
   people I only knew on line.  They reacted like the online people where all ax   
   murderers or something.  :)   
     (Why anyone would murder an ax is beyond me).
