Interesting reading about you all. I've worked at a University for 35 years. Different departments and different Directors so I've done many things (from secretarial to graphics illustrator to numbers crunching.) Some of the years were very stressful but I had to hang in there because I was the single parent of teen-age children. They are now grown and the job has changed to the point that it is very enjoyable. I could retire anytime now (except I can't live on the reduced income) but plan to stay on for a while. Like TLynn, I have thought about working for a garden center or greenhouse when I do retire, and possibly become a owner (but I'm not sure I want that responsibility.) I love to play with plants and start seeds.

This is my little greenhouse. Not fancy but I love it. It's attached to the garage, so I have a door that lets me do my potting and storage in there, leaving the greenhouse for just plants. I have my old stereo out there, so there's music and it's outlined with little white Christmas lights attached to a timer that comes on every evening at dark (got to go change it, it gets dark so much earlier.)
