Worn out!

I have not been around the last few days so I do not know what I have missed. I will sit down tomarrow & read some post.
I was called into work for modified duty starting Wednesday morning @4:30am. I went out on the route with one of the garbage men. I put flyers on the doors of the houses & pulled toters out to the street so he could dump them. I have not worked since the end of August because I had reconstructive surgery on my left wrist, so I am out of shape! My legs are killing me & I am tired. However, as it turns out, I am scheduled for vacation next week! So I will be off again for Thanksgiving week. I think I like being off work...LOL! Not supposed to go back to regular duty til December 18th, but I am scheduled for another vacation the following week(Christmas) I wish I could just retire
Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Well, I'd better just say happy b-day now, before I forget.
Happy Birthday!

Don´t know how many years I´ll have to go because our government is changing the rules for retirement.
Maybe I´ll have to work untill I´m 70.

The Italians (Garbage Company) contract is 84 & out to get full retirment benifits. That is; your age + years work have to equal 84 years. Since I didn't officially work for them til I was 35, I have to work til I am 65
However, we have great benifits & all the Teamsters get paid over $30+ an hour. I do not think I could make that anywhere else. I just have to put up with all the freaks in San Francisco

I think we in the UK now have to work until we're 70 too. By the time I get there, they may have moved it to 75! I guess 'they' just want us to work until we drop.
