Well October 30th was looking good and I was anxiously awaiting that date so I could retire. I was getting pumped and ready but now as with most best laid plans, I’m not too sure. This morning I was approached by management of the new owner’s of the company I work for and they had an idea to toss around. Yeah you guessed it…maybe no retirement.  It seems that they are now willing to pull me from the shop and put me in a management position to help with their growth and expansion because of my many years and experience in the business. Tomorrow there will be more discussion and some negotiations. Lots to do to set me up with a new computer, office and whatever else I might need to perform my duties but their offer really sparked my attention. The position is right up my alley and nothing new to me because I had a position similar to this before coming to Canada. This would have been something I would have eventually looked for after being off for a period of time and getting bored but now it’s staring me right in the face. I’m pumped again and told them I would be willing to put retirement on hold if things come to a good end result which I have a feeling they will.

What’s a fellow to do? Might as well leave my investments to earn more money until a later date eh? I know that retirement was number one on my list before I become to old or not live long enough to enjoy it as was the case of my late wife Ellen. I think that is my biggest fear but maybe I should put my phobia aside and take this opportunity for a more satisfying and gratifying career move.

Details to follow when the dust clears. Oh me…Oh my here I go again.
