Rant #3,791: Here, There and Everywhere

My son has decided to leave his one-day, four-hours-week position, and he will be giving his two weeks' notice later today.

He enjoys this job, but it is a dollars-and-cents move; by dropping this job, he will fall slightly below the salary threshold, and will be able to continue to get his monthly disability payment through Social Security Disability.

He has had this job for more than five years--interrupted by the pandemic, when he was put on furlough--and the job was a good one while it lasted.

But after the company cut his days and hours by 75 percent in January, we just knew he needed something else, and he kept this job while he looked for something better.

It took eight months, but he now has something better, but the amount of hours and pay, coupled with the lesser job, put him just over the threshold, so he had to make a decision, and my wife and I think he made the right one.

We need some type of written proof that his resignation has been tendered and okayed, and then we can go back to the Social Security office with proof of him leaving this job.

Then they can do the calculations, and Voila!, they will see he is making the right amount to continue getting his monthly payments.

Sounds easy, but you just know it won't be.

Stay tuned.

Otherwise, another thing I have to do today is to go to the skin doctor to get thslat lesion fully removed from my ear, before it becomes cancerous.

The doctor sprays this freeze fluid on it, and while it is slightly painful--especially if he has to dig what remains out of my ear--the procedure doesn't last too long, and it is certainly well worth it.

In between all of this, i have a work meeting later this morning that i have to attend, followed by another, separate meeting that I have to cover on Friday, which completely kills the day.

I just want to rest, and have a free day once in a while.

That goal isn't happening anytime soon, whether I am here, there, or everywhere.

More about that another time.
