At a crossroads, or in the middle of the target?
I'm in an odd place, with many choices. Or maybe one choice, really.
I need a job, and I'm very good at what I do, in my specialty area. Which means there aren't that many jobs available, and I'm not a man twenty years younger. Also, my stamina just isn't what it used to be.
My stamina isn't what it used to be. My ability to walk isn't what it used to be. My brain is back, though, or at least my ability to make decisions and act on them. My work on the grand jury and on the non-profit board seems to be well received, or at least nobody is complaining because they're thrilled someone is doing something, and for free. I'm digging in to learn machine learning at a deeper level, and I've decided to get a security certification (an industry one, not via Coursera), because I think my ediscovery interests will align well. But my stamina isn't what it used to be. When I come up with my brilliant idea for a startup to make billions, will I be able to do any of the work?
Plus, I'm reaching the point where I'm likely to start tipping even further downhill. I need to be able to work. I have a husband, cats, and a turtle to feed, plus medical bills all around. I need to shore up retirement money, not dig into it to pay the mortgage.
So, I'm going to find a place that will kill off my immune system and restart it with saved stem cells. I just need to have enough brain to do the research. Wish me luck.
