Work must be wearing me down
Does this happen to anyone else?
I never adjust my seat. In the morning I have my rearview mirror set so I can just see the edge of my tailgate. At the end of the day I don't see the tailgate and the mirror is aimed too high. I reset it and the next morning I see too much tailgate in the mirror and have to adjust it again. It's as if I'm shorter after the work day. If the mirror was lose and settling from driving it seems like it would go down not up.
Am I losing my mind or are you losing yours?

You know Raoul, I have noticed this too myself. Thought it was just ME. Something is happening to us to make us shrink at work! I work midnights and thought I was just very tired and "slouchy" on my ride home until you spoke up. As we age we naturally shrink...don't tell me we're getting OLD!

POOR Raoul!!! It really sounds like you are just working way to hard. You need a vacation and June 23 is still about 5 months off. Is there any way to take a Friday off and make it a long weekend??? Take a drive somewhere with the wife, stop somewhere for hot-dogs and ice cream. You'll soon notice that the mirror is no longer moving.

Actually, spinal compression during the day is a reality, especially for older folk (sorry, Raoul). If you were to go into a weightless enviroment, you might come back 1" to 2" taller, and I've read that even here on the mother planet some people will change 0.5" to 1" from when they wake up to when they go to bed.

I think your butt's softening up as the day wears on. Time for Tai-Bo, my boy.

Raoul: To combat the old sag-bottom plight, try a Viagra up the old Hershey highway. Who knows?
