Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / April 2006OTP I did it - I quit completely!
Well, I completely quit. I feel so much better. I'm getting a lot more rest. I'll have to watch the income, but my boss did tell me any time I wanted to come back, I would be welcomed. I don't think I want to, especially on the mornings I go out to get the paper and the windshield is all icy and frosty! Besides, if I went back to work, I wouldn't have the time to talk to y'all on the newsgroup. Loujean What did you quit? Gig >What did you quit? > >Gig Sorry, guess you didn't see my notice a month or so ago. I was trying to decide if I should quit working completely. I was getting tired. I can live on what I've got - just have to watch the sneaky purchases (you know, an egg McMuffin, etc), but that $30 an hour for 12 hours minimum a week was hard to give up. All my relatives and friends said I was looking worn out and since I originally retired because of seizures due to stress last year, the decision really wasn't very hard to make. I was a tool designing engineer and I did love my job, my boss, and my coworkers - it was just the workload and having to go three days a week, even. So, now, I am free - and enjoying living at the age of 67-1/2.

I had some preparation last year, when I was home on medical leave, so it didn't take very long to get used to it. :-) Loujean >I think you will be happy you did quit.

Not having a workplace as an outlet is a tough adjustment but, based on what we've seen of you here, I'm sure you will find many other enjoyable, more flexible activities to fill your hours.  SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare You may have noticed in some of my other posts, that I mentioned Toastmasters. I am getting involved in that, the local group as well as the competitions. After I get the latest group of doctors and dentists out of the way, may even get started back on my genealogy. Anybody with a Seefeld in their line? Loujean >congratulations on your freedom!

DON'T tell my husband you're interested in genealogy, you'll never shut him up. ROFL!! He has had a passion for it for many years. I will ask him as casually as I can about Seefeld. Congrats on the Toastmasters award. I got an award at my first meeting when I went to check them out. They were having impromptu and I raised my hand for one. They were shocked and I walked away with a ribbon and an invitation to join. Unfortunately my life was really hectic at the time so I had to decline. It might be something for me to look into up here. DeeTee > You may have noticed in some of my other posts, that I mentioned > Toastmasters.
