Maybe it's me, i know i couldn't put up with the drama you are experiencing, but everybody is different, maybe it's somehow tolerable for you, we all get to decide for ourselves. If you think it's still worthwhile, all the power to you!
Oh I imagine that will happen in the future. Right now I scrape by with temporary disability here and there. But I don’t think I’ll be able to stay employed full time until official retirement age, whenever that turns out to be when I’m older. Right now it’s 67 and ten months. In fact with the way the US is going politically there may be no such thing for all I know.

I really do just get so bored. In the summer I had my program and books and spent a lot of time at the gym. That’s probably all I would do on permanent disability which I suppose isn’t terrible. I’m just not ready to make that decision yet
