Good grief!

I think I can relate. I worked a night shift job for over 30yrs straight, of the 45yrs I was in that job. Basically working from 10PM - 730AM for 4days on, 4days off, then 3days on, 3days off. I found it to be in my best (mental health) interest to keep the same, or similar, hours on those days off .. whenever possible.
Fast forward to last year, when I retired in April ... and I've been struggling since then to maintain any kind of "normal" sleep/wake pattern (normal being asleep for 8hrs during the night hours). I don't have to "be" anywhere or "do" anything on a rigid schedule anymore, and that lends itself to making it even harder to keep a specific schedule without having to plan well ahead to be waking at a specific time.

But, believe me ... I'd much rather have this problem and be retired, than not have it and be working

Sorry to say the stupidity continues. Saturday saw only 15 letters for delivery for one of the little towns I deliver to-15! I knew that today would be terrible again, and I was right-just had a call that the mail would be 2 hours late again. This may just make me sorry I didn't declare Nov. 30 my retirement date. I have about a month of sick leave I could take, but that is not me-the gov't is going broke the way it is, and I don't want to contribute to that; however, if I am sick you better believe I will use it. I haven't done that in the past-used a lot of sick days getting my wife to her doctor in St Louis and quite a bit when I had rotator cuff surgery but worked many days when I was feeling puny, too. Hope this will be the last I feel like posting about this.
