My father worked in management onsite for over 30 years for Seagrams which became Pernod Ricard. At home he had a desk down stairs in the basement, however to my mother's dismay, he liked to use the dining room table to write on, as to pay bills scribe letters, etc. Now—not much to complain about right? However if you’ve heard me speak at length of my father in the past, he was a manly man. Accordingly he was very heavy handed; his print and signature was the largest, if not, the only reason mom’s dining room table developed a slight wobble over the years. Lol, my dad had a very heavy hand—honestly as he would press down and make unique markings.
Funny how my hands are light to the touch, I’m a finesse(er). I envied during by athletic years the guys with the heavy arms who could throw effortlessly—as heavy as my arms and hands are they are not so much as it seems to me. Ironically my father was cat like, for instance how he would walk, ninja like, around the house. Nevertheless, I heard many stories about his job and asked countless questions in which I received answers about the spirits and liquor industry and email responses or dialogues. I’d lay on the floor in the dining room and rummage through his stacks of emails and printed documents that he kept in a pile in boxes beside our China Cabinet. Honestly with respect for his career, I was most proud of my dad when he retired and was ask to return to consult in Indiana. Not the New York City stock broker, but "pockets full of fast money, but his clothes said slow bucks" as he wore chinos and casual steel toe shoes, polos and sweater vest.

A choice he made for an extended period of time, however I say this to you and I say to all, do not be so quick to leave work—you might find out that there is not much to you or potentially life without it.  Kids—get involved in their lives immediately. S/o to Snoop Dogg, my dad really enjoyed you, "Ole Snoop and the song got sales rolling Curt." 

Best of Luck ​
