Stretch for a half hour every morning. *
 Previous Message I enjoy the active part of the job and climbing and crawling around on buildings, but particularly my flexibility seems to be taking a hit as I age. Hopefully putting in some time (and making more time) with my gym trainer and doing stretches and yoga keeps it going til I'm mentally ready to consider part time work. Previous Message
I’ve been in my new job for about 6 months and I love it. We’re a small scrappy distillery…so I get to wear a bunch of hats and have a lot more influence than I did at my last job.
That said, the physical part is way more demanding than I expected. I was arrogant and this is much harder. I’m adapting but have been thinking, if this works…can I do this til I’m 60 or so?
I would imagine you find a way to make it work given the alternative…but it’s daunting.
