Retire is a Misnomer

When I think about this past month, the term retire just doesn’t fit. The dictionary says RETIRE means leave one’s job and cease to work, typically upon reaching the normal age for leaving employment. It certainly doesn’t reflect what is happening with me. I was scrambling to complete tasks related to chairing the Nominating and Elections Committee as well as completing a report for the Communications Committee. I had to design a poster of the 14 candidates as well as an eight page document of the candidate information that goes in the mailboxes for each resident. Yes, I like to use my computer skills, but a little downtime would be nice. Oh, that’s right, I don’t have a boss anymore, I can relax if I want to.
