Feb 2015

different seat. I lost my job due to being there too long. I was at the top of my hourly pay rate ($17hr). I got canned for missing 5 days in 10 months. (2 of those days were due to wife being life flighted). At 58 I cannot find a job even close to my former pay, let alone actually getting hired (at any pay rate) at y age. Wife is retired getting $815/mth. SS.
