A new chapter in my life

[Jedwbpm]

In November of 1999 I quite working selling Liquor and Wine to become a stay at home dad and raise my kids. Tomorrow I go back to work. Well kind of. Tomorrow I start working a DelMonico's Hatters in New Haven CT. Wife says I can't take my pay in hats. Oh well. I started buying hats from DelMonico's back in 1981 when I moved to New Haven to go to college and have been going there ever since. I am really looking forward to learning more and helping out the hat wearing public veteran and newbie and yes I will sell cloth stingy brims to people. I used to say when I sold liquor if we could only sell what we liked we would go broke. I will try to move folks up and wider over time if I can.

I can only hope your career in selling spirits didn't come about through addiction the way your new career as a hat salesman did......

Best of luck and enjoy your work.

Good for you, Jeff, on all accounts. I look forward to hearing stories of life in the world of bricks-and-mortar hat retailing.

Do they offer any services like cleaning etc. No doubt you will learn a lot working there.

My father was a pioneer stay-at-home dad and I have enormous respect for you. I wish you great success and, above all, happiness in your new job. Compared to raising children, I imagine it will be a doddle!

 

[St. Valentine]

Working with a hatter? Well, that´s what I would call "working in the danger zone"! All the best for your new job!

Hi Jeff

Raising your kids will be good training for dealing with customers. We're psychologically the same age, but we have money and we don't fill our pants (as often). Good luck on your new job.
