Been here in my Gulch location for over a couple years. Took a part-time engineering job that has been very enjoyable and keeps burger and beer money coming in. But, I've been repeatedly looked up by those in my past wanting me to do something called "work". It's not stopping. Job offers. Work offers. It's an interesting thing. Lately, it's been pouring down. Yesterday I lunch with a former colleague who is now a manager of an international engineering company and they offered me a job doing whatever I want to do. Basically, asking me to write my dream job description. I've never had one like that. As I was sitting down mulling it over today I got a call from another former colleague asking me if I want to work on a cutting edge hospital project. This has been very strange. Had a forensics career (not just a job) repeatedly offered by a former colleague I really respect. There was a good chance I'd be making burgers, teaching science or driving a school bus after coming here. But as the old saying goes, "They keep drawing me back in!" I've still got the energy but would only work full-time with a big pile of green incentive so large it'd choke a horse. Not a complaint. As Biden would say, "Not a joke!" But it's an interesting conundrum. I remember back a few decades ago when one couldn't buy a job. Anybody go through that in the past recessions? Where I'm at now the management isn't quite old enough to have experienced the full bite of the past recessions (you know...when you have a car payment, mortgage and kids to feed). I know these busy times are not permanent. That's a factor...isn't it? Anybody else experience this kind of thing - wanting to quit in a time when there's a shortage of good people? We're living in interesting times...
