vague enough I hope rant

#1 Post by ghostjmf » Fri May 02, 2008 4:51 pm

Its so awful to be waiting to be 66. I've never been in this position before. I mean, waiting to get older? Gaaaa. I just hope I can hang on by my fingertips/nails long enough. Gaaaa. I've got a longish wait, too. Longish to me anyway. Apparently not soon enough for some others. Never thought about life this way before. Its a real bummer.

Not like the bummers some others on this list are going through, though. I have to remind myself that.

Are you waiting so that you can collect Social Security and retire?

Is it a combination of years of service, age and all that?
Well, then

More like "bad almost a year". More than that I should not say, as I know this board, due to malevolent people on it, is not really anonymous.

Suffice to say I've been way shafted. But the upside is "I still have a job".
At least so they say.

I truly feel offended.

I hope it's not as bad as it seems and things will work out. Good luck!

Sorry if I have offended you. However, I wouldn't trust certain other people in any way, shape or form, as they have already guaranteed that people they've fingered will not get on BAM. (Also, because they're insulting, demeaning jerks all the way around, & no-one knows 'til they do it what else they'll do to you.) No, not me; though I suspect they've done that to me, I don't know for sure. For other people, whose identity I will keep out of it because its their business if they want to discuss it, these people themselves were witness to the kibosh being put on them.

It sucks that you have to 'wait out your time' in a place you're not happy. Good luck holding on. Lots of living left, once 66 arrives for you.
