Today it became official. This was my last day at work for my day job. I have some more days I've got to use up so I can't go back to work after today. My official retirement begins January 1st. 2013. Of course I still plan to DJ. I'm not quitting that. Please don't worry about me making it when it comes to my income. I found out a few weeks ago I can apply for social security disability because of my health issues with my back. I've got an appointment with them next Thursday at 1:45. It normally takes 6 to 9 months for them to make a final decision. All you're supposed to do is let them know you would still like to work but can't because of your condition. I don't want to work any more but I won't certainly tell them that.

I've got mixed feelings about retiring. I've been onn this job actually 33 years. I started as a sub and finally got hired full time. The big difference was having a study place to work and I would get paid for holidays. Working as a sub you didn't get paid for holidays when the school was closed. I'm happy and sad. Happy to not have to get up tomorrow morning to go to work. Plus I got tired of them keep telling us how if we didn't do the job they have people ready to take our place. Ultimately they want to privatize our jobs out so they don't have to pay the salaries we're getting and don't have to worry about paying for benefits.

I'm sad because you don't work that long at one job and don't have some emotions. I've had some good and bad times on this job. I've had some good and bad bosses on this job. Just feeling it today. I don't know what I'm going to do when January 1st gets here. I don't know if I'm going to cry or not. God is good all the time! The truth be told I was using drugs at one time and should have never kept my job at all. 2 bosses saved my job. I won't go into details how. Let's just say they never turned me in.

I'll post more on this thread later about what I plan to do with the DJ business. I'm getting ready to lay back down.
 
Rick, You don't remember the story about Mix mixing chemicals together? Give me a break!

Now Mix will be on the forum all day long!!
 
If you have mixed feelings about retiring, perhaps it was not the right time to retire. Even if you don't love the job 100% of the time, there's something to be said about having a few people that you see everyday and get through the week with. With that said, get out there and socialize - staying home all day on chat boards gets you nowhere.

Just my thoughts.

Thank you very much reverend part time. When I grow up I want to be just like you. Pure and holier then thou. Just so you'll know I did want to wait till I turned 55 to retire but my health won't let me. That's the official age for full retirement benefits. Meaning if I could have stayed that long I wouldn't have to deal with the 1% penalty I'm going to get hit with. I'm 54 now and just couldn't make it any longer. The problem is this (not that I owe you any thing) there is no such thing as light duty for my job title. My job title was custodial worker. So they won't allow you to come back to work if the doctor wrote out a slip for your requesting light duty.

I've got an appointment tomorrow with the pain medicine doctor and I'm going to have him write out 2 things for me. Something to give to motor Vehicle so I can get a handicapp sign for driving and a letter to take to social security about my medical condition. End of story for now.

Just so you know, Capt. Don't know sh!t. If you are collecting SS Disability benefits, because you can't do your job anymore, but yet still lugging around your equipment and such, you are commiting FRAUD!!!

You are reporting your DJ income, aren't you?

No unlike you I have people that will help me carry my equipment. I got friends that don't mind helping out. Actually I have 2 DJ's that we all work together.

Just so you'll know. The real reason that such things are in trouble is because we're spending all this money over seas on war and companies are moving out of the U.S.A and to other countries where the labor is much cheaper along with taxes. We're spending over a trillion dollars on wars but yet the U.S. has a hard time taking care of it's home and it's own. In case if you haven't noticed this world is destroying it self because of our greed and ultimately there is going to be a world war 3. That's the nuclear war. Just hope I'm not still he to witness it.

The bolded comment was a bad mistake on your part Mix.

If they are just helping you, you are still doing some of the work -- which means you are capable of working.

So it sounds to me, that you are trying to take advantage of the "system". That will take away money from the people that actually need it. Something to think about...

I see that just like the DJ biz, you have no clue about the real world. Go ahead and commit your crime. Karma is a *****.

You should enjoy your retirement and keep your personal business to yourself. Dude get yourself a part time job for benefits and talk to some of the guys in the NJDJA and see if you can get hooked up with a multi op service. Putting your personal business on front street will only get you in trouble. The Internet is the biggest rat in today's society. I'm not condoning what you are doing but it's best to keep some things to yourself. Just my opinion sir.

You've worked for over 30 years so maybe you are due for the portion you paid in however you should consider doing it the respectable way. The debt mess the country is in is due in part to entitlement programs that are too loose. There are other factors as well given greed is a illness that has no political, religious, racial or socioeconomic boundaries. Having well bodied folks who are capable of doing some form of work plays a role and is a big problem.

Sorry that your back is a wreck but its no excuse to skirt the law. If you can earn you need to do that and report it. Don't be part of the problem.

You know the real reason? All this time I thought it was a conglomeration of things. Boy was I way off. I'll also have you know that if people were not abusing the system, there would probably be lots more to go around. Alot of people believe in the whole 'What's the point of working if the system can support you' logic. That is fraud, waste and abuse - right here in our own country .. committed by our own people.

Hard to take care of your own when your own abuse the system.

All I know is they made the statement while their was the presidential election going on that this country is spending over a trillion dollars on the wars in other countries that we're participating in. Now how much of that money could this country stand to cut to help this country out? We're so eager here to help others out playing world police and we need to help ourselves first before we help someone else.

What happens in the Middle East eventually affects what happens in your little corner of Newark, so spending some money on foreign aid is a pretty good decision by the U.S. And comparatively, we spend less on foreign aid than other countries (Sweden is tops, we're #21).
