DIS Dads The Dis Dad's Club II

Interesting... I was just talking about the lakes freezing over here... one of our local TV stations put out this article:

Ice danger warnings for ponds, lakes

Even us seasoned ice veterans in Wisconsin mess up once in a while. How's this for irony - while doing a segment on ice safety in 2007, a local TV van fell through the ice. Luckily no one was hurt, but the $250,000 van was a total loss.

I would love to hear the phone call to her boss when she told him the news.
Um...hi...ah....you know that story we were doing on ice safety.............

I love the irony. I'm glad I read the story, though, because at first I thought that was your latest submission for the DIS Dads Party Bus!

I work at a TV station and I sure wouldn't enjoy that phonecall from my reporter or videographer trying to explain that one.

The fun other news channels must of made of this, she had the coolest job in town

 

[AirGoofy]

Sitting, warm. What's that? Man my job sucks, I move around like this allday to keep from freezing. Oh well 8yrs 9mths till retirement at the ripe age of 49

DW wants to move to Florida to escape the cold weather. It sounds like a terrific idea. However, I have 13 more years until I can retire at 48. Moving would be a great retirement gift.

I hear you! A great reward for starting young. I will be down there a few years before you, hopefully I can land a job in WDW and get all you guys in when you are ready.

Hey - there's always ice fishing. What? Sitting on a giant sheet of ice in 5° weather and staring in to a small hole doesn't appeal to you?

Did I mention there is beer involved?

 

[Goofy + 3]

Ok, I give up. What kind of work are dis dads in that allows them to retire at 48 or 49? Did I mistakenly wander in to the Dis Independently Wealthy thread? What career path did I miss out on?

AirGoofy & Commando - Retiring that early would be great - good for you (uttered with jealousy through gritted teeth). I've got a good 30 yrs to go.

Really!?!?!?! I'm 33 and still working on my college degree. I think 30 years may not even be enough!

Yeah...I missed out on something too...I would only have 8-10 years left.

What gives?

I'm looking at 20 + years. But at least I have one of those sit at the desk with Internet access jobs...and it's heated.
