Same. Maybe three visits in 20 years. But I couldn't help going with nearly 105 fever due to Legionnaire's Pneumonia.
Can't wait to get to work

Unfortunately it’s physical and not just sick and tired. I see the doc in a couple of days.

I had several jobs out of high school. Worked at the family print shop growing up, and for a couple of years after graduating. Went to welding school, and worked for a few months in a small fabricating shop, then a few months in a larger forging plant as maintenance. Got laid off from both of those positions due to slow downs.
I eventually went to work or the USPS as a Rural Letter Carrier. Spent thirty years there before I retired a couple years ago at 56.5 years old. They paid well, but management were idiots and caused endless amounts of unnecessary stress. Hated going to work most days. I always told people that I figured half my salary was for the work I performed, the other half was to put up with the bullshit management came up with!
Now I spend my days maintaining a 130 acres, working on old trucks and tractors, and sometimes being lazy just surfing the net!

Got out of college with a teaching degree I never used and worked a variety of jobs for the next ten years. From a sweatshop foreman to concrete finishing for a traveling road construction crew in the midwest. In 1983 I went to work running a rock drill for a blasting company and got my blasting license after a year. Spent the next 26 years working transporting, loading and detonating @ 1 1/2 million pounds of high explosive for new roads, homes and utilities. I liked working out in the woods when you could "let it fly" but the tight work was nerve racking. Then the crash @2008 hit and by 2010 the company closed. Out of work at 60yrs old I took a job driving a truck hauling high end cowhides to the leather district in upstate NY for finishing. It was a beautiful drive from Ct. to NY and I enjoyed the ride in good weather. It was a good way to coast into social security.
