Back again

I’ve been thinking of going back to work. Well, I’ve even sent my resume to a couple of places. Now is obviously suboptimal–looks like I messed up my retirement savings in downturn, hadn’t planned it right, I’ve been retired too long, about three years, which looks bad. As a systems analyst my job skills also probably look obsolete. 

And I could use a few extra bucks. Think is, I actually liked what I did. I liked the challenge of analysis, of figuring things out. I’m the kind of guy who gravitates to computer programming because I’m not the most socially adept kind of guy, so the people challenge of analysis was a fun kind of stretch. And from what I read the New Retirement doesn’t mean stopping work anyway. So we’ll see. Meanwhile I’m still working on a couple of books. One of them is about business analysis. It’s interesting what a little perspective looks like.
