I'm a retail rookie after a lifetime of employment ... and loving it
Old dog. New tricks. It can happen. I finished up my job at the perennials department in the greenhouse in mid-August. Took the remainder of the month off to relax and enjoy the summer sun. August rolled into September and I put my yard to bed for the winter season. And then, well, it happened. Boredom. I got bored. I’m rarely bored. Even when I’m not on the go, I have things happening. Even when I’m chilling, I’m reading or writing or, well, something. I like being semi-retired and calling the shots on my life. I like the freedom, the flexibility. I’m happy to just bop along. But I chose not to travel this fall, which meant there was too much time to chill and, well, boredom set in. So I took a deep breath, opened up an employment app and perused the 'help wanted' ads. I was looking for something seasonal because my plan is to travel in the New Year. A seasonal commitment has a short life span but would ease the boredom and throw some extra dollars into my travel fund.
