And some planned, but didn't see what was coming healthwise. I should still be working. I MISS working. I MISS being in the public, painting furniture, hauling persian rugs in and out of the shop or managing someone else's shop or being front desk clerk at a motel or managing apartment complexes and painting and rehabing them. I MISS being needed and earning a wage. But...I have been denied FIVE TIMES from SSI. They said my health problems don't stop me from working. Um. yes they do. So...I have to make due until I turn 62 and get my SS. THEN I can get OFF the foodstamps. I hate handouts. Although I paid for that right all my life, for others, when I started working at age 16. My turn.
Just try to find work at your age, too!
I could have a job tomorrow if I wanted it. I have never not been able to find a job. Jobs come looking for me.
Same for me. Have I mentioned that I was recently offered a full professorship at the University? I'm not really interested, though. Some of us have ensured we have "marketable" skills. Others...not so much. Some have the entrepreneurial drive...others, not so much. Any way you look at it, some of us will always work for what we want, others would rather beg government to give it to them. How...inhuman.
