This new chapter in my life is courtesy of my ex company being acquired. I have a few weeks of freedom which I've never really had in my adult life.
There are a ton of things for me to do and I'm still in the process of organizing them around a central theme or direction. Lots of busy work without a goal will make the time disappear and at the end I'll be in a bind looking for a job.
My daughter said something quite interesting to me last night. I broke the news that I was without a job for the first time in my life. Her reply was "That's good because it didn't seem like your job was very much fun." Her words didn't resonate until I was in the shower a bit later when her observation suddently struck me like a bolt out of the blue.
She's absolutely right, it wasn't fun and that, perhaps, was one of the problems. I'm middle aged now and still very healthy but one can never take that for granted. So I guess that begs the question of just what would I consider a fun job?
- Bicycle Cop
- Race car test driver, mechanic
- NASCAR official
- River guide at the USNWC
- Bike shop mechanic
- Velodrome racer
- triathlete (too old to be pro)
- personal trainer
- Politician? (Ugh)
- Real Estate Investor?
- Contractor?
- bulldozer owner/operator?
- Tax preparer?
- professional organizer?
I can probably easily narrow down that list and perhaps that is really my first mission. For now, however, I have to finish this double gate I started yesterday.
