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,

* 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.
