I want my job back!!!

[Semi-retiredGM/UAW]

I retired from GM Arlington in '05 with 27yrs service total, and I miss everyone very much.  I do go into the plant ever so often to see benefits rep., etc.  Everyone is so friendly and helpful I worked with. I want my job back,,pushing the candy & nuts cart or making frito pies the month of Dec.haha.  But really, I'm glad I'm out,, that place was tearing my body up.  I do keep busy, seems like I'm busier now than when I was working,,haha.  Been traveling, keeping up the ole ranch(house), working in my hot pepper garden, fishing and going to the junk yards in GrandPrairie scrounging for parts, gettin my '01 Silverado ready to drive to Vegas and then onto S.Calif. to visit 2 sons there. I want to drive the north side of N.Mex and Arizona 'cause I haven't driven thru the mts,, always drove across I-10 and up I-20 to DFW.  Hang in there everyone, things are looking up for the auto industry.  The FtWayne, Ind. plant is in the running for expansion to build heavy-duty Silverado trks. People are always going to need these Tahos/Yukons/Escalades to tow their boats, campers, horse trailors etc etc.  Never mind this 'global warming' bs.  its just another cycle the earth is going thru(in my opinion). adios amigos!!!
