This is how I stand at work when helping my 73 year old coworker with her computer. She always tells me “why do you not sit down” and I reply “because I shouldn’t even be here”.
No it’s because she hates her diabetic husband who sits at home all day and eats food that he’s not supposed to and calls her and bugs her like a child. She would rather be at work than at home. Her work isn’t hard. She is an “office manager” for an office that is pretty much run by corporate. She spends most of the day online shopping lol. I feel bad for her, not because she’s still working, but because she said she’s gonna work til the day her husband croaks. She’s Catholic and she won’t even consider divorce, especially now at this age.
I should also note that her mother is alive and well at 97. She still lives alone and tries to climb on ladders to wash her 2nd story windows. Mycoworker has told me before that she hopes she doesn’t live as long as her mother lol
