At my age, 75, I have looked for over a year for a part-time job. They don't ask how old you are, but, what they ask is "when did you graduate from college/high school?" …. well, that's not rocket science to figure out. I think they believe everyone my age is sitting in a rocking chair, housedress on, either knitting or gossiping about someone ….. that's how it was when my mother was alive. Well, that just isn't so anymore. Except for having a knee replacement, I'm in excellent health. But of course since everything is now on either Indeed or Glassdoor ….. there's no going in with a resume' for an appt. So then your paper, through Indeed, gets dumped in with all the rest. End of job possibility! I really need money. If it weren't for my son helping me out, I'd never make it. I have to move in June because with the raise in rent, I just can't do it. So, I'm forced to move to a senior apartment, which is fine I guess. At least it's a roof over my head. You can share anytime …. I get it. I only moved down here, from MD, because both of my daughters live down here and they "so wanted me to be here." I should have followed my gut and stayed where I was in MD ….. everything familiar and that I loved and enjoyed is there. But, I guess that's water over the dam now. Take care and pop me a note anytime.
