I loved each supervisor/boss I worked with, especially the old crimes unit at the state police! Looking for clues to horrible murders others may have missed in depositions, scanning evidence pics, death scenes, well, I felt like I was part of a team.Somehow, emptying a vacumn cleaner cannister and admiring a clean carpet doesn't fulfill my sense of a job well done.
ETA - Retired from full time work four years now, last one of course, with Covid lockdown.....better days may be ahead!
You sound like you have an academic mind,RightNow?

We are so sentimental!

Horse riding. My hips and intimate surgery wouldn’t allow me to sit on one nowadays. Plus I have the rheumatoid arthritis and neuropathy to deal with.Flying planes. Too expensive, need my glasses for reading and short distance, and doubt I could haul myself up to check the wing fuel tanks.
Painting and decorating. It wears me out now.
Woodwork.

Riding horses was something I was never able to do, but those of you who have make me feel like I really missed out. I get a lot of pleasure knowing that so many of you had that kind of experience.
