Are you surprised? When I retire they are going to have a really hard time finding someone who can push through as much work as I do day in and day out. Fortunately I love what I’m doing but - as I’m working from home today - I also keep throwing baleful glances at my loom - which I’d rather be working at.?

No surprise at all. This person’s been skating on thin ice since April. I’ve offered advice (mostly: learn the damned job! You need to be able to jump in and do any job here.) that’s been ignored. I’m shocked that she lasted as long as she did, particularly since her chief advocate was fired a few months ago.

Their monkey, not yours!

I got an email from a recruiter at IBM saying that someone had recommended me for a job and was I interested? It turns out to be a full-time job. The money would be nice but I don’t think I am ready to go back to that. We are quite comfortable in our retirement. I said I’d do part-time and was told that if they couldn’t find a full-time person, they’d get back to me.

Good for you for being in demand and also for knowing (almost said “noing”—Freudian?) your boundaries!

I have made it abundantly clear that I’m not available to bail them out again, so I doubt I’ll be asked. Besides, we are a one car household with no intentions of buying a second one.

Isn’t it funny how they come back? Must be satisfying to say no. Again. Amazing too how healing some distance can be especially when it’s filled with things that you love and that matter. And so agree with Connie - the time has flown.?
