The ...I like the first two of your guy's rules. The third one is negotiable. <br /><br />When we moved here almost 2 years ago, my husband was newly retired and pushing 48. He usually enjoys telling people he is retired. (They usually respond by asking what he'll do next.)<br />So perhaps you want to tell folks that you are retired, and then when they ask what you plan to do next, you can discuss writing or ____ or ____. <br /><br />In the meantime, I've had my own crisis of not knowing what to say or do, because my SAHM gig has nearly run out (thanks in part to the retired husband hanging around the house).

Cube life can suit for some times, places, and situations; at other times, get the heck out. I've done both, and each have pros and cons...<br /><br />It took me years to get comfortable with my identity as a stay-at-home. And as soon as I did, I got sucked back into the cube. Ha. Irony, perhaps, but I know a day will come when I'll be post-cube again...<br /><br />Hang in there and enjoy those pups!sherileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499266464014693291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-40128846361064336252013-06-06T07:21:45.937-05:002013-06-06T07:21:45.937-05:00An artist with warm feet, thanks to your daily com...An artist with warm feet, thanks to your daily companions...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-75131001130838737522013-06-06T06:32:10.044-05:002013-06-06T06:32:10.044-05:00in my opinion, as long as you're happy, then t...in my opinion, as long as you're happy, then that's all that matters. if i didn't love what i do, i would not stay in it; life is too short to be stuck doing something you hate and it sure makes it hard to get out of bed every day.<br /><br />and you're totally right -- there are douchebags AND nice folks in The Conglomerate; i've worked with both and my current team is the best. although i'm at a huge company, it's like a family in my department. every day at lunch, we all sit at the lunch table; this includes executives (the director, SVP and CIO) and we talk/laugh about things. sometimes we're so loud that people come by to ask us to keep it down but then they see the SVP and CIO sitting there and they just walk right on by LOL.<br /><br />so i agree; who you work with makes a huge impression on how well you like your work environment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-84237325928932861072013-06-06T05:40:00.884-05:002013-06-06T05:40:00.884-05:00Writing is an art, so why not?

Staying in the cube earns a safe income, but am I wasting my life away? I admire you for breaking out of the cube.Patience_Crabstickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860012969550268614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-77429215802808508462013-06-05T18:23:06.888-05:002013-06-05T18:23:06.888-05:00THREE!
