Don't hate me, but I gotta do it. I have to un-retire after only three months. ****, I only received two SSA checks and have to pay that back. But when E**onMobil called me and ask me to come back with them and offered up good money for a job right here in Houston, well,,,see below. The story, as you most of you are already aware, the wife has the dreaded cancer . However, the Dr said just today that he feels that she is 99.99% curable . He got it all and, as it turns out, the pathology shows that only one (1) Lympth node is involved and only slightly . However, there will be chemo involved and all that treatment will be expensive. Too expensive for SS. So, E**onMobil, here I come. **** **** Damn Hell!
you are a good man, and you have your priorities straight,,, thats great news about your wife good luck with everything,,
I am also glad to see you have your priorities in the right order, just remember your wife will remember you for doing this for many years to come! We will keep you in our prayers and thoughts. Mike
Congrats? Guess you have to do what has to be done. That ****s,but life deals you that **** sometimes. Hope your wife gets better. I couldn't do without mine! You're a good man/husband!!!!
At least there is a pay increase incentive! Hope your wife is completely healed after it's all said and done!
Good for you Beep. You see what needs to be done and you just do it. Now that's old school. I'll be praying for your wife. Doc.
Unretiring ain't so bad, glad you have a good job to go back to. That's wonderful news about your wife.I recently got over a sickness ,they thought I had lung cancer , but after many test and a biospy it was a false alarm. God bless you and the Mrs.
Youv'e done the right thing why would any one hate you. My wife had a brain tumor 4 years ago, and was caught early, she just got another clean mri last week. Things like this will pull you clooser together.
I would definetly say Congrats to you and your wife! Not only is she going to be fine, you got a door opened for you to walk thru. You get an employee discount at E**onMobil?
Take the money Beep and I might be joining you only across the street at those Dutch guys if next interview goes well. I'll take the gas money! Get the wife better and take a couple of hundred thou extra off the boys then retire again. You could make a new career of retiring and going back for more dough!.
Hang in there guy! They do great things with treatments now. My wife had it over four years ago and is still free of it. She caught hers very, very early. So early that the doctors couldn't believe it. After four years I have come to hate this disease. It is a sneak and a thief that will try to rob you both of your selves. Stay strong and supportive and even though it may sound selfish now... don't forget to care about yourself.
Well, they at least have giant piles of spare cash to pay you. Regardless, hope your wife gets better asap and welcome back to the grind.
Oh hell yeah man, glad to know the wife is curable!! Great news there, if it was my wife i'd haul my *** back to work to like right now. Kick*** brother Give my best the wife! 1shot
sorry to hear that! i beat cancer over 15 years ago and that is what i said after the first round of chemo. **** DUDE! the second round of chemo was something i wouldn't wish on anyone! thought i was one tough muther ****er and found out different,kinda like having a gallon of ANTIFREEZE plugged into your veins. those memories are so bad it bums a guy out even thinking about it. keep your fingers crossed and hold on for the ride. hope for the best dude and our prayers are with you! sorry for getting off track hope for the best with your wife.
Sir, you are what they used to call 'A MAN'...you take responsibility for your words, your deeds, your actions and your family. You don't whine, you don't complain, you do what is necessary and I for one, admire you for it. I salute you for doing what is right for your family-you and your Mrs will get through this and come out the other side closer, more in love and have a greater appreciation for one another. As for un-retiring, just think of the new pay increase as an 'economic correction' for all those years they underpaid you! You and your knowledge obviously have value that they simply cannot find on the open market today. Value that they obviously have a need for-take the money, you earned it.
Good news.............about the job and especially about the wife. I don't know what I'd do without mine. Just heard the E**on made 5 MILLION/HR PROFIT the last quarter. The oil companies can afford to pay you double if they have to to get you back. Frank
Glad to hear your wife is on the road to recovery...congrats on the money bump...though we all know you are just going for the employee discount at the pump...see if they can at least start giving us a few tumbler or apollo coin or something for the enormous investment we make at the pump...continued good health to you and your wife...you deserve it!
Hey Beep, Best of luck for the both of you! May good health and happiness be yours! Look at this way,at least you aren't wearing a blue vest and handing out "smiley face" stickers at a mall? Welcome back to the grind!
As others have said, a mensch. Best wishes to you and your wife. If they offer her a mediport, have her take it. Well worth the small amount of discomfort to alleviate further sticks for lab draws.
I have been helping my Father through Chemo for 2 months now and have another 5 more months of it to go. It hasn't been too bad on him so far. Best wishes to your wife and I pray for everything to work out for the two of you.
Thanks to everyone for all the kind words. But it isn't me that deserves them, it is her. She has kept a good strong at***ude through all of this so far. Acts kinda like it's just another "bump-in-the road".
