I left voluntarily, but was probably ready to be fired. The 30-year veteran in my workplace didn t like me, and the feeling was mutual, but I did my job and tried to keep my contempt to myself. We ll call him Little Ernie, and he worked all those years for his buddy who d built the business. Then his buddy got married and now he worked for the wife, too. Little Ernie was not liking this one bit. He was mostly bitter and angry about everything, how he d put in all those years helping build the business and so on, felt he was not appreciated. He would have temper tantrums and sulk and mostly no one really knew what was going on with this guy. He was around 60 years old at the time. So Little Ernie decided I was the source of all his problems, even though I d only been there for a little under two years.
I saw the writing on the wall, which was pretty obvious, and quit. Little Ernie was elated, according to a friend who still worked there and was liked by everyone. But it turns out the owner and his wife had run out of patience with Ernie and no longer tolerated his rants and tantrums. He realized he was no longer their Golden Boy, and hadn t been for a good many years. Shortly after I left, Little Ernie quitending the career that would have led to retirement. The owners told me Ernie thought they d beg him to stay because he was so indispensable. Imagine his surprise when they didn t. Truth is, his work product was woefully lacking because he was always letting his emotions get the best of him. Here s the funny thing: I was getting ready to leave anyway. Another two weeks and I d be gone. I went into business for myself, haven t punched the clock in over twenty years.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
