Semi-Retirement Jobs

[YY1]

I have a neighbor who retired and works as a Hot Shot driver. he delivers Camper trailers all over the east coast. He loves it.

I could probably do that as long as I had a good amount of down time between runs, and fair notice before long trips.

I'm trying to get a job as a bra-fitter. View attachment 1606159

Joke about the Diesel Fitter

There were these two Cajun dudes Thibodaux and Boudreaux that were laid off from their jobs at a Ladies undergarment factory.

They went together to the unemployment office to see about getting some money.

After waiting their time in line, the Lady calls them up to her desk.

She asks Thibodaux what he did before being laid off

He told her I was a waistband sewer. She looks in her book and tells him OK that is worth $100 bucks a week.

She then turns to Boudreaux and said “What sir did you do”?

Boudreaux Looks up and proudly tells her he was a Diesel Fitter.

She proceeds to look in her book and tells him ok that is worth $300 bucks a week.

Thibodaux heard that and got all sorts of indignant. When the Lady asked what the problem was

Thibodaux said his job required more skill but he was being paid less money.

She said “What do you mean you’re a waistband sewer that is a minimal skill job and he is a diesel fitter that is a high skill job”.

Thibodaux looks at her with an incredulous look on his face and said, “What you mean? I sew the waistbands on ladies underwear. I then hand it to Boudreaux he looks at them pulls them over his head and says Yep Dees-l Fitter”!

I'll have a modest Union pension from my old job that I'll start drawing from later this year. Working on that damned VA disability - this go-around has taken nearly a year, and still have 0%, to date. The VA is not anyone's "friend", that is for certain. Plus, with SS and mil retirement, so long as **** doesn't blow up everywhere, I'll be in a similar circumstance as you. Everything I own is paid for. I like that.

go to your local DAV Chapter. Take them your military medical record. they will get your VA crap sorted out real fast.
