SUNDAY POST – WORK

This is where I work.  At least right now.  As some of you might have read, in previous posts, I will be retiring in June.  I feel conflicted about the decision to leave, but I am not sorry to be going.  Before this ‘work’ I was employed by a gas and electric company, but teaching was what I always wanted to do.  I got sidetracked.  Never did go to college.  Not til I was 47 years old.  Then, due to the fine art of downsizing, and after 25 years of service, I found myself out on the street, pounding the pavement.  Thanks to luck/karma/coming to my senses, I met a wonderful man who agreed to support me while I ‘went to school’.  Yes.  Finally.  College.  After much studying and babysitting, to supplement our income, I graduated COLLEGE!  YAY!  And  due to the kindness of others, I landed a job almost immediately.  Now, 10 years later, my adolescent  dream winds down.  For various reasons.  Though I don’t plan on going for my masters – not that there’s anything wrong with that – I do plan on starting something new and different.  Just don’t know what, yet.   I was lucky to have one dream come true.  There’s no rule that says I can’t go for two.  Or more…

Stop by Jake’s and see what other bloggers share about their idea of ‘work’.
