After
being Retired for over Ten Years only working Two
Eight Hour Days this week really had me looking forward to this
weekend. That is strange how we all change with time. After the loss
of my Late Wife and just before the Plant Closure my
normal work schedule was 12/7. If I had a day off back then my
body would think something was wrong and I would be Sick. When
I had my Vacations the first day I was always Sick.
Times have changed and I certainly never want to go back to those
times.
After
only Two Work Days I figured that my Biological Clock
would be kicking in so before going to bed last night I got things
ready. When I woke at 5:30 I had to tell myself to get some more
sleep. When I woke at 6:30 I changed and started sorting the Laundry.
The Park Laundry Room opens at
7:00 every morning and very few people are there at that time. With
the forecast calling for a high Humidex
of 97 F (36 C) going early in the morning made sense
because it was also much cooler.
I
had our Laundry going by 7:15 and busied myself reading the
Employees Handbook that was given to me by the Company.
It gave a History of the Company and its commitment to Quality
Products. It had rules about Workplace Safety,
Anti-Harassment and a recommended Dress Code.
Once
everything had been moved to the Dryers I walked Home
to have Breakfast. Kathy had already started
getting things ready so in no time we were finished eating. While
Kathy sat enjoying her Tea at her Computer I packed up
the Trash and after only a sip of my Coffee headed over
to the Park Trash and Recycle Area.
With that out of the way I walked back to the Laundry
Room to wash my hands then started folding our Clothes.
I
had told Kathy it would be close to 11:00 before I’d get back and I
was early by only a few minutes. As soon as we had all our Clothes
put away I had to go dump our Waste Tanks. Due to the work it
is necessary for me to shower Daily instead of every other day
so the tanks only lasted Ten days this time. Looks like it
will become a weekly ritual.
When
I got back inside Kathy was busy making Split Pea Soup for our
lunch with Honey Date Squares for dessert.
It
took another hour to finish reading the Employees Handbook
before I signed the Form on the last page that has to be
turned in. This was written in Layman’s Terms not the
Volumes of Legal Jargon in a Contract between a
Company and the Unions. I like this better.
I
finally finished drinking my very cold Coffee while getting
caught up reading on the Computer. Somewhere while doing that
I had a difficult time reading through my closed eyelids. Starting
the day early and relaxing in the afternoon is not a good
combination.
Tomorrow
we plan on going out for a while and maybe we’ll even take some
pictures. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

I am still thankful you were able to land a decent job to refill the travel funds jar.
ReplyDeleteGive it a few weeks and your body will adjust to the new routine. I just thought of something. Does the company that hired you know that you will be leaving in the fall to travel? If so then they are pretty amazing to have hired you. However I think that you are a very talented worker and they are lucky to have you.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. I have not gone to work in 13 years, I am pretty sure I would have a hard time adjusting to work again. Hang in there!
