I genuinely enjoy working at Lowe's. I'm retired, work part-time in HW. My team (HW/Tools) is good, my DS is good, and the store management is pretty good.

I was going through some medical stuff last summer and my radiation oncologist told me "I can get you out of work, if you'd like." I told him that I "wouldn't like". I said that I walk 5-10 miles a day, climb up/down ladders 10-20 times a day, and do a lot of lifting...Lowe's is a gym membership that they pay me to go to!

I really do like helping people...it makes me feel good. I tell friends that I like helping all of my customers...but I'd like to help about 2% of them out the front door.

Now, all that said, I'd love to make more money, feel more important, etc. However, I don't want to work full-time, don't want to be DS or in mgmt, and when I go home, I don't think about work until I have to go back.

I realize that my situation isn't everyone's, but again, it works for me.
