cmdr_zoomThis evening, after work, I'm going to a retirement party for a former co-worker, a sweet old lady.* (I thought I wouldn't be able to - I procrastinated and put aside the RSVP card - but things worked out anyway.) This leads, indirectly, to something I was thinking of a few days ago and have been meaning to post here but - again - either never got around to it, or couldn't decide how to approach it.
As I mentioned in my last post, I'm pretty comfortable where I am. I have a part-time job with a great boss; it pays enough to keep me in food and (small, shared) shelter and entertainment, it's an easy commute, and the hours are great. It's also pretty much where I was ten years ago, when I started. I don't have a problem with that, honestly ... but I do wonder how long it can continue?
The uncertainty in most of my friends' lives, especially with regard to work, health and/or finances, makes me fret about being pushed out of my rut at some point. Not something I like to think about too much, but there it is, and I am.
*This means that I might not be home until 8 tonight, for those who care.
