Actually... the only reason I retired is because I was looking for a job*, but I finally gave up on that and sold a patent. I am not really down with the whole 9 to 5 thang, I was mostly looking because I wanted a longer visa somewhere in Europe.
cheers,
catch
* highlights of my job search:
At a small university, when asked to describe myself in three words, I replied "Transubstantiated, multi-orgasmic, barbarian" two members of the panel had to excuse themselves. I still made it to the final cut.
At a fortune 50 technology company I did the Hunter S. Thompson style interview... bring a six-pack of beer... talk nearly non-stop for a soild hour and finish the six-pack and then leave. they called back about a week later wanting to know if I'd like to schedule another interview at a better time for me.
At a major insurance company, I replied to a question about a potential migration to Linux with a particularly lengthy and foul version of the aristocrats joke that involved penguins.

When you get a job, catch, and you decide it's time to quit, do what I did years ago: fire your boss. That's right, fire your boss.
"Hey, Jay (my district mgr. at the time), this is really hard for me to tell you. You're fired"
(nervous laughter from both parties)
"Seriously, Jay, after today, I got to let you go. You're not my boss anymore."
(A more relaxed laughter)
"Look, Jay, just because you've been fired doesn't mean you're a bad person. It just didn't work out"
That wasn't the most creative job termination I ever executed. Sure beat the usual FU chit...

Thank you for the compliment.
I never had any intention of trying.
