Retirement. It’s bittersweet, for me.
Tomorrow, Monday, August 31, will be my last working day at my current job, which I have held for 12-2/3 years. That's the longest I have ever worked at any job in my entire working life. My original goal in life was to work forever, and never retire. Well, the Wuhan Coronavirus put an end …
Damn You, Jay Inslee.
Another notch in your (well, I was going to say gun, but you abhor guns) billy-club. Congratulations, you have destroyed another small business in Washington State.

This made me laugh.
I have a presence on LinkedIn, but I don't do much with it, and soon I will be doing even less. My last work day is August 31, and then I finally retire. I do intend to do a post to that effect, so they can stop sending me job listings. I will probably still …
