Remote-Remote Control

Does back to work mean back to the office? For some, it does not. And will not. For our peaceful Contributing Editor, Mr. Kurt Huber, he has a clear direction and conviction of how he wants to play the game. 

Remote Office

We are living in the age of post post-COVID and it can be challenging to find remote job opportunities for those of us who are accustomed to living this workstyle lifestyle. Many of these jobs went away last year, as many employers issued work return office mandates, but it looks like 2024 will be a strong year for remote job opportunities, as the work world has changed and is accustomed to the demand for remote jobs that benefits both the employers and the employees: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2023/12/21/remote-work-from-home-trends-2024/71991203007/.

Remote work requires you to be at your desk, ready to Skype or join Teams or Zoom instantly. Deadlines and metrics measure the amount of work you’re doing —in addition to screen sharing, conversations and chats — there is a need for constant proofs required throughout the day. Working remotely saves gas (and electricity, if you drive an electric car), and greatly reduces car value depression with the mileage savings, and it saves you money on car insurance, because it reduces the chance of collision damage —such as hail, hitting animals, getting stuck and running in the ditch during the Midwestern winter months.

Working remotely will offer the flexibility to do occasional or part time work when I do finally retire.Retirement was a beautiful thought for a moment.

Now, back to work!

Giving Back Is My Personal High!

Mike LaBarbera is a "giver." He has been for decades and he will be for as long as he's fit-as-a-fiddle, which is part of his routine so he can stay healthy to keep on giving. To his community, to youth, his family, to Veterans, and probably to anyone or any cause that makes sense. It's one of the most excellent approaches to life, in retirement or otherwise. Thank you Mike for taking the time to give, when you have the time and when you didn't.

My Name Is Bob

Our Contributing Editor, Bob DeBroux, has been doing a lot of thinking lately. Actually, since he was born. Or quite possibly, even before he was born as in the Zen koan sort of story, dialog, question, statement type of thing: "Show me your original face before you were born." In any event, and Bob's had a lot of events in his 70+ years of life, he's on a path to finding things out about finding things out. We love it, and you will, too!

My Semi-Retirement Life

Our Contributing Editor, Jim Carlson, has been planning his retirement since he was 37 (maybe even before that age). He has it figured-out, which allows him to travel the globe, work wherever he finds himself, and still play and record the music he cares about as a professional singer-songwriter. From our standpoint, he's fine-tuned everything about semi-retirement including the tunes he writes.
