I have had a job of some sort since I was 17 and I can honestly say I enjoyed them all - except for one. I retired from teaching after 34 years and decided to substitute but after having my own classroom I didn't like being the sub. So when a part time library clerk position opened at our local library I applied. And here I am 14 years later retiring from that position. It is bittersweet for sure since it was the perfect "retirement job." My plan was to stay one more year but Mr. Covid got in the way. Our library has been closed for two months and is scheduled to open in June with lots of changes, restrictions and safety precautions for working with the public. At my age I decided not to tempt fate since New York has been hit hard by this disease so I retired.
Spending time outside up at the lake sounds good to me right now after a long cold winter and two months of quarantine. We opened our camp this weekend and the porch is ready for business!
