Back to work after almost 7 years!!

just an update - I'm still in the kitchen...and it's working out well. The head cook has taken a liking to me.
She keeps telling me not to worry...that I can ask her any questions.

I pretty much know the job except for some food prep that I have to do when I'm on the early shift.
The chart doesn't make sense to me...I have to do the fruit prep for the residents...some residents get puree fruit only....etc...
The last day it was making more sense....so that's good.

Did I mention the shifts are only 5 hours long. And no early shifts. My days start at 9:00 a.m or 2:00 p.m.

It does feel good earning some $$ and building a pension...won't be a large pension as I will only be working for maybe 10 years.

Hey Girlie,

Glad your settling in a return to work job that's a better fit for now and much less stressful. Work stress was one of my worse triggers while trying to heal from all my past neuro sx. Just had a nice summer off since retiring on June 1 and now collecting my social security, but now I'm ready to find a nice local part time gig now that schools are starting to figure out how to re-open, and there is less competition from the youths.

As you continue to improve health-wise I'm sure you will have more opportunities to advance to help pad your pension.

later,

Congrats!! I’m praying for your continued recovery!

That's wonderful Girlie! I know you have been trying to get back to work for several years now. Congratulations! Terrific news.
