Seniors

I had been retired about 10 years then and although I'm active, daily runner, and read and 'am on the internet all the time I couldn't believe how I'd slowed down, mentally. Although I'd been pretty good in my day, there was no way I could keep up with the current crop, considering how many changes had been made. I felt like mentally I was walking in 3 ft of sand.

My supervisor seemed to hate me from day one and into the 3rd week she wrote me up for being too slow. I was furious with her as I was working myself to death, not taking breaks, short lunch, coming in early, etc. but the big boss wouldn't back me up (he knew I was only going to be temporary and he had to get along with her) so I just walked out. Thank God I have the ability to do that - one upon a time you just would have had to take your knocks and go cry in the bathroom (like in Mad Men.)

I still have nightmares about being back there and can't figure out while that woman hated me so much.
