Do you still work a job?

My job now is attending to my ablutions...
 

The spots just keep coming but I would need some of that stuff that women use to try and get rid of them...:eek:nthego:

Still working full time... by choice not necessity. I just can't bring myself to let go of it.. I enjoy working.. I mean, sometimes it's a pain in the arse.. getting up early, driving in bad weather in the winter, but for the most part.. it gives me satisfaction.

You're one of the fortunate few, QS. If I hadn't made so many bad decisions I might have been lucky enough to have had a career I loved. My husband loved his career.

Thanks... I've paid my dues... I've pounded the floors for 12 to 13 hours straight.. Got the bone spurs and bad knees to prove it. Worked my share of weekends and holidays too. Now I consider what I'm doing now to be retirement.

How many hours do you normally work? Have you thought about part-time?

Now, now Ralphy. I've mentioned these before but will satisfy your curiosity - got pregnant at 18 and married instead of being careful and going to university. I wasn't ambitious though and didn't feel driven to do anything. Then went to college at 28 and got a degree in science and I hate science.

I work 72 hours in a two week pay period. When I finally do decide to hang it up, I'll go on a "casual" basis.. Call me when you need me.. and I'll see if I can make it.

We've got friends who work part-time, one is a nurse and she works in A & E (emergency) 1 day a week. The husband works at one of the ferry piers part-time. Easy.
 
Right now, one of the benefits of me working is not only the money, but I carry medical insurance on my husband who is only 63 and not yet eligible for Medicare.. He turns 65 in November of next year, so that is my target retirement date. If I went part time now, my medical premiums, even with this company would nearly double.

True... however, hubby could now be insured through Obamacare if I decided to stop working. No pre-existing condition denial! BUT.. since Illinois does not have it's own exchange, if the SCOTUS rules in favor of the plaintiffs next month.. then hubby will not be able to get insurance and I am trapped.. I will have to work until next year. Gotta love how some folks like to play with the lives of others huh?

Yea. What a PITA not being able to plan ahead.

I'd like to know why my DH who is not American, has never lived in America or earned money from America and never plans to live in America was given a Medicare card when I started getting SS? What if he were to use it while we visit? That's a waste of money. That's what travel insurance is for.
