unknownjulie, first I would like to say Happy valentines day. I am sorry for your working inconvenience. This happens all the time now, where the retired are still working or wanting to work. It seems to me the folks who have better paying jobs tend to stick around longer than they have too. Retired cops flag traffic, retired fireman are security officers at schools, Athletic directors continue to cut programs and create more cracks for money to fall, teachers continue to teach. ect. I love your working spirit, You seem like a wonderful mother who is always at work within your own home. Maybe these extra shifts your retired friend is getting will be short lived, or you may find a part time job doing something else you may enjoy or learn?. I hope this turns around for you, and you find some positives from this hardship. As for the retired bored person wanting to work an old job again, he may stay bored doing the same ole, same ole. " it can be fun to learn new trades".
