      Yesterday I took an early retirement from my day job. Although I'll miss a lot of things about the job, it was time for a change.

      Today I was offered a new job. I'll be assisting a one-armed typist with capital letters. It's Shift work but I think I'll be able to handle it.

        You'll now have enough time to hone your jokes/puns - as well as your chisels ! πŸ˜‰

          Thank you, sir.

          I get to go out and shovel snow on my first day. It'll give me time to work on the puns.

              Congratulations. I imagine this is a smart move for you! You obviously have plenty going on to fill the time.

                            I could ask if they've got another one armed typist needing assistance.

                                    Good luck man!

                                    I hope SketchUp contracts you to assist with queries, as you seem to be able to help in most (read just about all) queries. And I'm not trying to blow some smoke...

                                      Hi all. Thanks for the good words. Never fear. I'm not retiring from SketchUp or Sketchucation. I only retired from my day job. I won't be wearing surgical scrubs or working on life support equipment anymore. Now I can't officially tell you why you're hitting your airway pressure limit before you deliver the tidal volume you have set or why the pleth waveform regularly goes flat line every three minutes. (Unofficially I could tell you if you want to know. πŸ˜„ )

                                      Anyway, I'll still be around here.

                                      And for those who are jealous of my new job, perhaps we could set up a job sharing thing. There are two Shifts, you know.

                                          That's an interesting thought. I would like to build another boat but I wasn't thinking of one large enough to make the crossing.

                                            When you build it large enough, there are several places ypu should stop in europe. Lisbon is mandatory!
