It cuts into my stalking miklee time too much had to sacrafice it
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@brian29715 Brian…… are you stalking me? 🤨
brian29715 · 51-55, M
@Miklee02 stalking, that can be left to one’s perception. I hope you don’t feel that way.
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@brian29715 not at all 😉
CM440 · 56-60, C
Age and finances have made it possible for me to move my status to a parttime fill in associate. With the holidays approaching, it will fall into fulltime for the upcoming weeks. I miss the fun at work, but escaping the everyday routine of work has been a blessing in my life.
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@CM440 wonderful 🤗
SW-User
@CM440 Same here
Officially I am retired with SS and also collecting a pension from one of my past jobs.

But I cannot sit still long (LOL), so I am president of a group of small manufacturing companies. Keeps me busy, but even with the current challenges of the supply system shortages it rarely overwhelms me.
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@Threepio nice 👍
@Miklee02 I like to work so Yeah...it feels kind of weird when one day you wake up and there is a letter in your mailbox telling you that you need to let them know where to deposit your pension.

Nature determines age, but you determine your state of mind....
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@Threepio love it!!
FreeSpirit1 · 51-55, F
I am....don't tell my boss.
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@FreeSpirit1 shush is the word 🤫
my job is to keep retailers in business. I'm doing a good job so far
@Miklee02 there so often the valet has his own key for my car
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@Miklee02 you think I kid
Degbeme · 70-79, M
I`m retired but I think I am actually busier than when I was employed. 🤔

Just a heads up. When you retire tell as few as possible. They tend to think you have all kinds of time. 🙄
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@Degbeme *makes note*
Keepitsimple · 56-60, F
Not working, don’t need to but I babysit my grandson full time.
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@Keepitsimple that’s awesome!!
ShadowWorker · 70-79, F
🙋‍♀️ retired soul here.
But let me tell you...lol.. I work hard in my gardens in the growing season for our food, then I start cutting wood with my husband in the fall and winter. Plus.. home chores and cooking keep me busy.
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@ShadowWorker you sound amazing 🤗
ShadowWorker · 70-79, F
@Miklee02 Thank you.❤✌
thepeculiarpanda · 36-40, M
I've been trying to figure out what I can do work-wise since I got sick. Now, eleven years later, I have absolutely no idea what to do with myself and am in too much pain to really care.
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@thepeculiarpanda I’m so sorry 😞
thepeculiarpanda · 36-40, M
@Miklee02 Being disabled is just the pits. I'd like a refund on this life experience, please and thanks. 😂
acpguy · C
Self employed and love it. However I have a second unpaid job; head cook, launderer, dog caretaker, house cleaner, gardener and vehicle caretaker. My wife is the boss and a slave driver.🤣
MarineBob · 61-69, M
@acpguy I thought the same, when wife got sick I realized exactly how much she did
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@acpguy I think I love your wife!! 😅
LunarOrbit · 61-69, M
No

Bad eyes.

I couldn’t see myself going to work

😂
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@LunarOrbit hey if I could retire now I most certainly would!!

@LunarOrbit self reflection is good 😐
maturedragon · 26-30, M
I'm currently working at a bar for an apprenticeship, although still not earning enough to support myself so probably going to be getting my dad's money for the rest of my life, although I probably want to quit the job after a year and so something else... for that, Idk what it's going to be
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@maturedragon no satisfaction in that
maturedragon · 26-30, M
@Miklee02 true, need to work my way up there, find out what I can make a living out of
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@maturedragon good attitude 🤗
Cantsayno · M
At lunch right now. Almost been at the same company for 30 years.
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@Cantsayno samsies 🙌
Cantsayno · M
@Miklee02 awesome, hopefully 7 more years to retirement
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@Cantsayno oh I have a bit longer 😩
I've been caring for other people for most of my life from the age of 9.

As I get older, I know that I am not going to be able to do it for much longer and it scares me to try and think about something else that I could do for work. Most traditional jobs are out of the window for me.

I either need to start my own business or retrain into a job that I can sit down and do. Though financial abuse makes going to school impossible for me to do.
Tom47 · M
I got fired Monday
Tom47 · M
@Miklee02 I know, huh
SW-User
@Tom47 why were you fired?

Straylight · F
I’m just waiting for my boss to realize that I could do this from home.
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@Straylight I mean why not
I’ve been home since March 2020
I like it!
TurtlePink · F
Im a college student I’m a nanny basically for my brother’s kids
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@TurtlePink I was a nanny when I was 18 ….. loved it!
Pfft! Work is how I've spent most of my time the last 35 yrs (34 yrs with current company) and fair bit the 8-10 before that.

Day is coming where that's gonna stop .. and I can't wait.
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@SW-User craziness I do feel blessed
SW-User
@Miklee02 She did find another job at 59. Seems to be going well
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@SW-User good to hear 🤗
I can’t not be working. Started working since 13. Always had a job since. Managed to secure two trades and work full time.

I can’t fathom how people don’t work or complain about not having money unless there’s literally something wrong with them physically or mentally.
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@Teggy 💯 %
SW-User
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@SW-User yay!!
Pretzel · 70-79, M
I'm on 4 and off 3 - it's one of my off days
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@Pretzel I want 3 day weekends!!
Pretzel · 70-79, M
@Miklee02 you have to work 10 hour days - my third day is the hardest for me - the last one goes by pretty quickly
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@Pretzel I’d do 4 tens in a heartbeat
WintaTheAngle · 46-50, M
I’m lucky, I’ve only been unemployed for one week since I left school 20 odd years ago. I think I’d go crazy if I was caught in that fix.
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@WintaTheAngle interesting
SageWanderer · 70-79, M
I’d gladly give up my retirement “job” and go back to work.
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
@SageWanderer why’s that 🤔
SageWanderer · 70-79, M
@Miklee02 Being a caretaker can be physically and emotionally exhausting.
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
WindTherapy · 61-69, M
I do. Just don't tell them I pop in here now and then to see what's new. 🤭
Miklee02 · 56-60, F
