late night....

I'm saddened to read of all the people losing jobs. I guess we are in a deep recession, and now is the time to re-invent yourself. I'm amazed of my situation. I was informed yesterday afternoon that I have another $2 million in my budget.  The irony is we are not allowed to fill positions as they become vacant, so as people retire next year, we will be suffering cutbacks and the work will just pile on.

The cities are looking for some part of the bailout and some sort of stimulus package, especially a package of infrastructure improvements. I've crunched so many numbers the last few months preparing estimates for work we dream we could do.

I'm awake right now, but should think of sleep, as the workday starts too soon. The alarm clock will go off at 4 a.m..

To bed I go...

P.S.  I have been asked if I want to work part time as a consultant after I retire.

Consultant work has its pitfalls. I really want to retire but if the job pays well enough and is limited to a few days a week, I might consider it. No, the economy looks like crap locally and for the city, tax revenue is down and we are trying to deal with a $30 million dollar deficit.
