Medical Retirement from Federal Employment: If not X, then at least Y

December 14, 2016

Many such contingent annotations are in the form of: If not illegal, then at least unethical; or, if not unethical, then at least lacking of propriety, etc. It is the pathway to a lesser acceptance, where the focus of one’s aspiration is lowered because of the inevitability of discovering that evidence insufficient will be uncovered. Thus can one go on ad infinitum in various but similar forms: If not happiness, then at least some semblance of contentment; if not a soul mate, then at least someone to share my experiences with, etc. […]

Federal Disability Retirement: Options

April 21, 2015

Often, in life, we believe that others walk around with esoteric knowledge unavailable and unreleased; it is considered from the viewpoint of what is, in philosophy, identified as an “epistemological privilege” — that as others have private thoughts which are inaccessible to us, so there must be a vast array of knowledge similarly situated. Experience teaches us to become suspicious of others, as somehow the inner workings of power and wealth tend to bypass most of us, and the list of uninvited guests […]

OPM Disability Retirement: Reversal of Fortune

April 18, 2015

Life itself rarely reflects a steady, linear progression on a graph; the zig-zagging representing times of economic turmoil more accurately profiles a person’s span of existence. Moreover, one’s career is not necessarily the essence or paradigm of a given life’s experience; there are multiple factors, including emotional, births and deaths, marriages and medical conditions. How does one quantify an experience? […]

Disability Retirement from the USPS and other Federal Government Agencies: Belonging

December 15, 2014

There are no more causes by which people live, and those who do, do so within an artifice of self-justifying chameleons of linguistic gibberish. Once upon a time, grand philosophical systems were propounded; from the historical backdrop of Plato’s Republic, to the teleological schemata of Aristotle’s Metaphysics; to Aquinas’ Christian worldview, Kant’s bifurcation […]

Retiring from Federal Service with OPM Disability Retirement: Happy Puppy

December 12, 2014

Overused words lose their intended efficacy. Perhaps the point of decay came about when the (unnamed) fast-food company decided to combine the word with the term, “meal”, and thereafter kids, grandkids and celebrity popularization effectively killed the last semblance of meaning. But when watching the exuberance exhibited by a puppy, where commonplace activities are engaged in with reactive and unbounded energy, it is appropriate and meaningful to compound the two, and ascribe the descriptively emotive, “happy puppy“. Whether it is the latter term which enlivens the former, or vice versa, […]

Federal & Postal Medical Retirement: The Beast of Burden

December 6, 2014

Is there a limit to the capacity for a draught animal that engages in the heavy toil so assigned? Like the proverbial reed of hay which breaks the camel’s back, what is the limit, the absolute capacity, the outer stretches of what the psyche can absorb, the ultimate strain upon the human physical endurance and the will to survive; until the beast of burden crumples upon an exhausted heap of fatigue and loss of hope, a broken mass of bones, organic matter and mindless assemblage of shattered void?

Disability Retirement for Federal Workers: Detracting Deviations

August 9, 2013

Multi-tasking is a glorified term for describing an ability to competently engage and perform more than one task at a time. It was once encapsulated in the query: “Can he walk and chew gum at the same time”? In the modern age of technology, it has become accepted […]

CSRS & FERS Medical Disability Retirement: Misplaced Guilt & Apologetic Defeatism

June 3, 2013

There is, of course, such an animal as ‘misplaced guilt’; it is in consequence of attributing to the wrong object of remorse a sense of honor or fidelity; and the resulting behavior of such inappropriate placement is often actions of an apologetic nature, self- […]

Disability Retirement for Federal Government Employees: Milestones

January 23, 2013

The expanded meaning of a “milestone” encompasses events of personal successes, where the capacity of the human will exceeds an expectation of what one thought one could do. […]

Disability Retirement for Federal Workers: Multiple Tracks

December 18, 2012

Multi-tasking is a relatively modern term, but the substance of which people have obviously been engaging in for centuries. With the limitations imposed by the human anatomy, as well as the capacity […]
