There are so few people like me in the world that I've never met any. I think with my head, not with my heart, and try to make the most logical decisions possible. I'm not a robot, but MY experience is that if you act emotionally, you make poor decisions. I do wish I knew more outright logical people.
Oh, yeah. OP is definitely the poster formerly known as I'm Retired Now. This thread is proof of that.
AFAIC, you cannot be taken seriously any longer. You began as a childless, married man forced into retirement who then had imaginary sons looking for work. Now your persona is a woman, recently laid off from her 20 year position as an office manager.
OP, all you're doing is messing with people's minds, and that ain't cool.

Note that both are describing situations where they no longer work. Very interesting.
With all the talk about the glories of diversity one unspoken truth is missing. MOST PEOPLE LIKE PEOPLE BEST WHO ARE LIKE THEMSELVES!
I wish I could meet more people who have my personality, perspective on life, conversational style, interests and temperament. I get frustrated that I don't meet more people who are like me.
While meeting and interacting with people who are not like me is interesting, it is better for short term contact. It is easier and more satisfying to meet people more like me. I always think it would be perfect if I could meet my identical twin who grew up in a different home and had different experiences but other than that is just like me. Now that would be the perfect friend.
OP, I know the perfect person for you! Search for I'm Retired Now, and friend him. I have a feeling you two would be the best of friends! Like peas and carrots!

The jobless girl is much younger than me and so we would not have much in common.
What's that quote about being able to run but not hide? It must be disappointing to have spent so much time creating a database for the new personna, getting its work history and family members all put together in preparation for scores of new threads - only to have it all fail the Charmin test.
