I've been working at my home desk today for about 12 hours. How do you just stop that kind of living cold?
I worked in the auto industry for 30 years....most of the last 10 years I was scheduled 13 days on 1 day off (NY state labor law) I loved my job (skilled trade machine repair) I was worried what i would do with my time when I retired ....I got out at 49 and moved here when just turning 50....that was 13 years ago....it was the best decision I ever made....there's so many things you can choose to do... or not do anything at all, it's your choice
