I've been out of the workforce for so long that I don't think I'm cut out for it anymore. I took a part time job last year as an online customer support agent. Customers were rude and treated me like shit and I quit that after a couple shifts. I also went back to the job I left five years ago in July. It was such a different place than when I worked there. The girls were all way younger than me and very catty. I was going home miserable every day so we decided that I should quit and stay home and look after our affairs.

I will be officially retired (for good this time) this Friday.
47 years of reported income is enough for me, and I'm gonna go fishing when I want to Damn it!

Ya know, I'm a self admitted lurker of every corner of this site, and I read about your problems with the July job lol. I dont blame you and in the beginning of August I quit a job after a weeks worth of work. It was the best feeling haha, it was like, f you, you dont own me! :finger: I'm out. They were nice enough people, the pay was $35/hr ( it was caretaking) but I could tell I was about 2 days away from being asked to start cleaning up after their 6 dogs. Homie dont play that. They could've paid a high schooler $12 hr to do the job. $10 actually. I think of being stuck at the job when I'm doing something now I dont enjoy lol.
Yeah, anyways, this whole deal has been hard. Hang in there.

I'd pick up dog poo (from little dogs) for 35 bucks an hour... I do it for free now. :D I did feel great after I was out the door but quitting was stressful for me and I kept flip flopping. My former coworker took a chance on hiring me and I feel like I screwed her over a bit. We haven't spoken since I quit, I think she's still mad a me. :oops:

I always get a little depressed this time of year as summer comes to an end. 2020 has been way worse than years before, seeing how poorly we're doing with covid it almost seems that the last six months of sacrifice have been for nothing. Tomorrow will be my 6th anniversary. We've gone totally apeshit every year to celebrate, visiting Hawaii, Mexico, France and Victoria... and tomorrow we're going to sit at home and do nothing. At least we didn't plan a trip that we had to cancel.

Congratulations seeing your pic I didn't think you were old enough to retire. Are you picking up any new hobbies or is it going to be all fishing and hunting all the time?

Walmart will pay $12 hr but full time is 30 hours and not a place to be in a pandemic. My wife and I are both in retail and tourist workers in a vacation destination area and are sitting things out, we are also semi-retired.
Probably just retired now.

Sadly I think we're going to see a lot of forced retirements for folks in their late 50's early 60's.

If proof never lies with the insurance company, how can they ever make any positive claim? i.e. if my doc says I need treatment for kidney failure, and the insurance company says they won't cover that because of x, wouldn't they have to prove x? If not, why would they ever have to pay for anything? Couldn't they just make any assertion they wanted without backing it up? I'm just curious, I don't know much about this stuff...

It starts with "Claim Denied".... It ends with a lot of your money in lawyers payroll. Sometimes, a state insurance board will reverse their decision, but they won't reimburse you for legal fees. But in between is arbitration, which you already agreed to, and they hire and pay the arbiters.

Proof always falls to your lawyers The insurers just follow process and internal medical staff reviews, which you aren't able to find or see.

It isn't a system that was ever designed for you to win, but the aca gave you a few rights you never had before, and the gop is working overtime to strip it away.

We shall see what strikes my fancy. First & formost I am planning on reviving my late fathers veg garden (80' x 30' ish). I love growing things & am not half bad at it if I do say so myself.

Have to hope you picked up a thing or two from this site in the past twelve years. 18 square feet keeps me pretty busy, 2,400 square feet is going to be a job!

Have you moved into the new homestead yet?

A healthcare company in South Dakota that urges people to avoid social gatherings is hosting an indoor country concert

The event is being held two months after health officials said the state's Sturgis Motorcycle Rally led to 100 COVID-19 cases in eight states.

We're still reporting over 400 new cases per day and our positive rate is officially over 1%. Toronto city council is voting today to extend the indoor mask requirement until March 2021. How friggen depressing is that? I liked it better when extended it 30 days at a time. I wasn't fooling myself that it would end this year, but it all seems hopeless now. On Friday the gathering restrictions that were placed on Toronto have now been extended to the entire province.

Our positivity rate is 8.9%, “well under our goal of 10%”, in a US Republican controlled state averaging 6500 tests daily. Population 3.5 million.
TOTAL SHITSHOW
