Tim Gautney

I am a professed Work-a-holic. I use to work 2 full-time jobs and before that it was a full-time job and two part-time jobs. I raised my son as a single parent until I remarried 18 yrs. ago. My son is now 26 yrs. old, a single Dad, and I am down to a single job that is the same full-time job that I have been working for the past 23 years. My son is now the father of my 6yr. od Grandson, and yes he is Grand. My job is with the county that I live in. I'm salaried which means that I don't get overtime only"comp." time. I have some of that that I can't seem to use and I also have well over 250 hrs. of vacation time that I never seem to be able to try to take off. I am never out sick either. I have 580 hours of sick time saved. But over 5 years ago, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. My white blood cells (immune system that keeps me heathy) were too strong and was actually attacking my central nervous system. Well this is too long of a story already, but to cut things short, I need to start getting over my being a work-a-holic and start making time to take my family fishing, like my Daddy used to do me when I was young. I have a great nephew that lives in my home state of Alabama that makes a good living as a fishing guide on the Wonderful Tennesse River that I grew up on. I now live in North Carolina, but I must get over my problems and just pack up and GO FISHING.
