Sadly, this is the new reality. A wise career advisor once told me "choose something you enjoy and you'll never have to work a day in your life". Well... I've been enjoying this for years but lately, it feels more like work. I'm too old to change careers and too young to retire. Them Enron bastages stole my retirement nest egg, so after they force me out at 65, I'll be looking for other sources of income.
There just isn't time for the fun proactive stuff anymore... just fighting fires with no budget to buy a decent fire extinguisher. We are still in chapter 11 so at least there's no padlock on the gate. I shouldn't complain... at least I still have a job... coworkers were axed and denied any severance pay.
We still have our health and my cat and dog are still happy to see me.
