Feeling Happy
"On being LEGAL for the 3rd time!!"
Just wanted to say Hello to All as I spend my last day as a 62 year old.
Seems the older I get, the less I write. (Should be the other way around, huh?)
NEW NEWS!
--I no longer work at the Golf Course
--I do work as a "Security Guard" at a new Health Care facility that's within 3 miles of where we live, which is especially nice with these outlandish gas prices.
--My hours are 11:00 pm to 7:00 am Monday thru Thursday
I'm really nothing more than a glorified receptionist, NO GUN, and spend the night watching TV, Movies, and reading. If I didn't have Direct Deposit for my checks, I'ld have to back up to the window to get them. It's like "stealing", BUT, someone has to do it.
How did you get the job, Rich?
Linda, my bride, also works there. She works days, so we're like "2 ships passing", BUT, in many ways we see more of each other. Anyhow, she heard about the job opening and called me to see if I knew of anyone who might be interested. I laughed her off and told "nobody I know would want to work a MID SHIFT!!" So I went about my business and started thinking about the job (Heck, I wasn't sleeping very well anyway, so why not get paid for it) Long story, short, got the job and started Feb 11. Took a while to get used to the "goofy" shift, BUT, I'm getting more used to it everyday, and really like it.
I had to stop at the Golf Course because of Social Security. They keep you bottled up quite a bit before you hit 65, on how much you can earn before they start taking it back (1 buck for every 2 you make over their yearly limit) Kinda sucks, BUT, to be honest with you, I was losing interest anyway, so it worked out good for all. (same people, same gripes, etc.)
So my new nickname is "sheriff", which I ignore. Needless tosay, much razzing goes on (which I love) and many laughs are had.
Still playing Golf, seems to be better with my new hours. Don't have those morning "shakes" since I can't do many Happy Hours!! (I'm probably getting way too healthy)
Not gonna go through the "routine", just felt like "Ramblin' " a little. You know how I feel. (Maybe, with this shift I could...............)

So how does it feel to be legal three times? LOL
Glad you like the job ... that shift can be tough, but as long as you get enough sleep and a routine going, you'll be fine!
