Well, I only work three days out of seven right now, 9:00 to 5:00. When I teach, that's not to bad. In at 7:00 out by 3:00 at the latest.
To be honest, I was MRB'd after 17 yrs of Army. Got hurt, have a pacer, made me non-deployable. Used my federal time in the Army to allow me to retire from the P/O when they offered early retirements a few years back. Went to school while in the Army and finished after I got out. Running down transcripts from 4 different universities was no picnic.
The grand daughter was a surprise. My daughter has some issues. Foster care was out of the question. So, you take care of your own.
You learn to take time for your self!
