Good morning Mossberg owners.
We just got back from the company Christmas party, and though I am retired we still get invited.
They put on a very nice party, with fancy food and drinks & presents for everybody.
My wife came home with a French press coffee maker. I got a digital tape measure.
I stuffed myself shamelessly with prime rib and smoked salmon. It's one of the best meals in Fresno.
The company is doing well, even with the three of us oldsters retired now, and they were able to give everybody a 17% retirement disbursement and a 12.5 % bonus.
I haven't been into the office much since I retired so it was nice to see the guys, and they have hired some young new guys as well.
I am really happy to see the place doing well, and in my opinion they are at least the number two structural engineers in the San Joaquin Valley, based on income and the number one based on projects completed.
It's unfortunate but a lot of guys retire from jobs that they haven't liked, didn't do well at, or that didn't pay well enough.
Mine was just the opposite and I could not have been luckier then to work with this company.
Tomorrow is my last day of Christmas shopping and the family will be coming over Christmas Eve for dinner, but I think I have all the presents now. Hopefully all I have to do is wrap them and put on some name tags, and half of that is done already.
