Keith Broadbent :: Blog :: Retail Rat

May 12, 2008

Well, I did it, I quit Lowes! I had been there 1.4 yrs and have had enough of retail, period. Too much micro-management in a new store that is not performing up to expectations. I feel they mis-lead me and wanted me to quit anyway. What should I expect from a numbers machine. Where do I fit in after 30 yrs at GM? I am writing for a local newspaper and earn $25 per article! It gives me exposure and experience. Who knows where this wil take me. My wife is looking for a job as well. The joke is that the first one who gets a job gets the only car we have! I had to borrow $4500 to pay my income tax bill. Meanwhile, I have a couple of building projects to do. I am supposed to be hanging drywall today in a basement. It can wait til early in the morning. I have been looking at my work history. I learn new stuff and then I get bored and want to do something different. It just about killed me working at GM for 30 years. I was always going to school or something. Right now, I just don't care. I want to go to my "shack" and hang out with Jesus like the book, which is awesome!!!
