Lawyer Representation for OPM Disability Claims: Foregone conclusions

October 18, 2018

There are many; some, within the universe of a greater subset, are perennial by nature, and can never be altered but for some miracle yet to be considered (like the fact that the Baltimore Orioles will have ended its season sometime by early June of each year); others, of a more generic knowledge, assumed and forever predictable, ever to be presumed as a law of nature (as in, somewhere in the world a war will be started within the next year, or that a child will be born, […]

Medical Retirement under FERS: Procrastination and delay

March 27, 2018

The former denotes an active passiveness, while the latter connotes the former but may also include objective circumstances beyond the subjective input or control over the consequences resulting, whether from external forces, internal influences or a combination of both. What compels one to procrastinate? There can be a number of factors — of secretly not wanting to proceed; […]

Medical Retirement from Civil Service: Preparing properly for each stage

Medical Retirement from Federal Government Employment: The wrong turn

Medical Retirement from Federal Government Employment: Still Life

October 28, 2016

The meaning can evoke a duality of concepts; of the artistic mode, where self-contradiction is inherent – for, it is often in depictions of inanimate objects, presented in combinations not normally seen in true living circumstances, that the artist arranges in order to capture a semblance of that which is never, or rarely, encountered. Or of the alternate implication: Once thought to have been deceased, the realization that there is yet a soul to revive, an aspiration to embrace, and hope again to realize. […]

OPM Disability Retirement: A break from the quotidian

October 21, 2016

Is there ever a release from the commonplace? We take it so for granted – those mundane occurrences of daily living – until the greater pain of life’s misgivings overwhelm and supersede. The quotidian is a fancy term for the everyday; that routine which we engage in from the moment our eyes open, the sleepiness is cast aside, and the feet are sheathed into slippers or socks, or perhaps not at all; and all that was just described, as well, constitutes the quotidian.
