Time has come round really quickly. It wouldn't surprise me at all if work doesn't come seeking you again quite soon.

Who knew you had such control over things? ;) Sounds like things worked out well, then and even fell into your time plan! Who knew you had such control over things? ;)

Our talents weren't being used and we were wasting our lives for mere money. I got involved in volunteer work and after a bit worthwhile work came looking for my husband. We turned out all right financially as well as spiritually. Good for you! My husband and I took early retirement, too. Our talents weren’t being used and we were wasting our lives for mere money.

Examples are everywhere. Take hospitals, the nurses spend more time on paper work than on nursing, the same with doctors. The same applies in fields like education, research, business and entertainment. Some serious talent gets lost in bureaucratic nightmares leaving the individuals concerned frustrated and not exploiting his potential. The nice thing about this phenomenon, if you want to call it nice that is, is that universal. Every country, every walk of life and every individual, goes through this. So, Mike, welcome to the club!! One of the most inane things that Managements do, is to stick specialists with administrative work. Examples are everywhere.
