If you let your body dictate, you are fugged! Bastid will come to expect being pampered...
Pushing 65 now, and blessed with good physical health. After retiring from a fairly non-physical job at age 62, I landed a half-time job as baggage/cargo handler for an airline. That "half-time position" averaged 60 hr/per week job for the first year or more, and was tough, especially since I was just 6 months out of rotator cuff surgery.... Brought my shoulder back into near 100% utility tho. And my best average physical shape in 30 years
Should have bought Excedrin stock....
Fortunately, work-place attrition and a now nearly full roster has evolved into a now full-time job at 40 hours per week... plus overtime. And half way up the seniority list. I really wasn't planning on working this much!
My once -extincted little pot is coming back....
THANK YOU, BEER!
The down side is they expect me to be responsible....
Now, that short-term...whatever it's called.... That sucks!
