Surely you can live on your abilities, not your disabilities? You've just served in an almost-war zone, you must be able to do heaps of stuff.
I don't want to sound patronising but you will make a new life for yourself somehow.

I'm too old to switch to recruiting/AGR. You have to be able to complete 20 years prior to age 60. I can't go back to law enforcement due to my physical limitations. I'm worried about finding work in today's economy that will be even half of what I make now.
Another major issue is the ex & our continuing court battles.

Power flickering just crashed my computer. Maybe I should switch to the laptop.

My hands are so dry I'm getting cracked fingertips. It looks like there are some cuts on my palm too. Not sure it's due from dry skin or I accidently cut it somewhere. In any case, ouch...

Horrible commute this morning on Metro. The radio traffic reports made it sound like everything was back to normal for the below ground stations, but I'd estimate they are running at about 20% of their normal carrying capacity by running the trains every 25 minutes instead of every 5 minutes. Not that big of a deal, except I'd estimate they have roughly 60% of their normal passengers. You can't fit 60 into 20.
Long-winded way of saying it took a long time and was extremely crowded. |

yeah...took me nearly 2 hours to get here today. was going good until i got to the bridge. traffic lights were out, and no one thought to send a cop out to direct traffic.
edit: so...i showed up at 9:20......and I leave at 1pm. i assume it will be another long ride home.....say 3.5 hours in the car to work 3 hours and 40 minutes. I'm protesting this injustice by being completely unproductive today.

Man, I got an e-mail alert a short while ago saying a metro train derailed in a tunnel downtown. Minor derailment, and nobody is hurt. Fortunately, the problem is on another line, so it's won't impact me. But the red line folks are fucked.
I'm going to leave 1.5 hours early to beat the worst of the rush home. |
