The designation of the year as “2012” is, from a historical perspective, an artifice. Different countries and cultures have other methodologies of identifying the continuum and sequence of the cyclical seasons.
Whatever the artifice, however, the reality of daily living remains an encounter which must be dealt with, and for Federal and Postal employees who suffer from one or more medical conditions, who are contemplating preparing, formulating and filing for Federal Disability Retirement benefits from the Office of Personnel Management, the first step in the process is often the hardest, but the one which must be taken in order to make any advances for the coming year.
Whether that “first step” constitutes contacting an attorney, obtaining the blank forms (SF 3107 series and SF 3112 series for FERS employees; for CSRS employees, SF 2801 series and SF 3112 series), talking to one’s treating doctor(s), etc. — it is the first step which is the hardest but the most significant.
Days advance; weeks go by; the “new” year steadily marches towards the half-way point, then beyond. Procrastination is often a self-protective mechanism of human beings — but one which is contradictory and often leads to self-harm. Don’t let the days pass by, lest the year go to waste.
Sincerely,
Robert R. McGill, Esquire
