Watching National Business Report last night I heard reasonably intelligent people stating "People who have been out of work for a year are hard to employ because they have lost their skills." What a load of brown smelly stuff, here I have been retired over seven years and have not lost a damn one. Do they really believe this horse puckey?
I sort out all our computer problems, maintain them as well. I still can write as competently as I ever did, maybe even better. At least when I have occasion to write to some CEO or politician I get results. Stilll seem to be able to teach if that is waht you would call walking someone through a receiver repair by remote control over in the other group.
Admittedly I am not as polite as before but then I don't bloody well have to be. One only suffers fools gladly when they are clients.
When I veneer a reciever case they still look as good as ever. Lost my skill set? Bah humbug, cantankerous yes, unskilled hell no.
Only good thing about the show is that Susie is as cute as ever.
