OK, about my getting a job

Let me say up front that the chances of my going to work are slim.  As I mentioned, I would have to have a ride to work, plus a back-up ride for times when my main ride was on vacation.  I'd have to have these rides secured before I applied and accepted the job.

Someone commented that they thought I had retired.  I've been retired most of my life, actually!  I've done more of what I want to do than almost anyone I know. 

Do I need the money?  Extra spending money is always nice, but we're doing just fine; and in a couple of weeks I'll get my first social security deposit. 

Let's say everything falls in place and I get hired:  What if I hate the job?  What if it requires more manual dexterity than I possess, and what if those ten-hour days are too long?  (Working ten hours a day wouldn't be bad, though, considering you get a three-day weekend.)

So, if any of the above things happened, the answer is simple.  I'd quit the job and resume my usual life, which is a wonderful one.  If I made it a week, I'd have a paycheck for my efforts, and my country life would go on as always.

I mentioned to Cliff that I'd hate to put my daughter in a bind for a babysitter.  He insists there are babysitters everywhere.  and besides, he'd watch the girls in the morning for free.  That way the daughter would only have to arrange after-school care.  On non-school days, Cliff could tend to them until two or so in the afternoon.

But none of this will likely be necessary.
