The title of this post refers to the fact that once again, there's been a long gap in my posting.
So what am I up to these days?
The most important answer is, "finding myself". I'm sixty years old, consider myself semi-retired, and am still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.
It's now been a little over eight months since I left my last full-time job, as a developer of installation programs for SAS Institute. ("Last", at least in the sense of most recent; perhaps "last" in the sense of "last regular, full-time job ever".)
But within the last month or so, I've realized that, until then, I'd been suffering from a disorder for which I've coined the name
phantom boss syndrome.
In other words, I hadn't really let myself believe that I can actually choose what to do. So more recently, I've been in a process of coming more fully into that realization.
This blog entry is one manifestation of that. I've been wanting to write more often, for this and other media, but hadn't been letting myself do it. I am hoping that, now that the log-jam is broken, it won't form up again, at least not to anything like the same extent.
Now, I just have to figure out how to find myself some readers.
