Post #380,060 by hnick 8/31/13 8:20:15 AM Reply	I hear you... I was "retired" in 2009, about the time my legs quit working. Got a synovial cyst removed from my spinal cord in 2011 and my legs work again. I'm doing contract work because, while my wife and I were frugal and put all our discretionary funds in 401Ks, the bankers robbed us blind. It's ok; they had the votes. No harm, no foul except that I have to work until I die or else my dogs starve. Still, contract work can be fun. The gig I'm at now is the first place in a couple decades where I need an oscilloscope and schematics to debug software. I rather enjoy that. It will be going away in a few months, but it's fun for the moment. Enjoy today! Tomorrow will probably be worse, so today's the best you got!

But don't let it get you down. Keep fighting the good fight. Illegitimi non carborundum. :-) Cheers, Scott.
