(This was a Blog I published last year, but it is still a description of my business life)
Although I am officially retired I, like many other seniors, do not want to stop working and doing something that I feel has value in our community.
In my case, when I moved on from my marketing research and public involvement consulting business that had been my work identity for more than 40 years, I morphed into becoming a business writer.
I enjoy doing interviews and composing stories. When the time comes to write the stories, I am at my computer.
We have a rescue cat that came with the name of Dash. Once he was convinced we were not going to return him to the Cat Cottage, he became our buddy, rarely more than six feet away from one of us.
As those who have cats know, you really don’t own a cat because he (or she) believes you are there to serve them.
Recently, I was at my computer finishing another “Business Spotlight” story when Dash showed up and sat down on my computer, right in front of me. I am pretty sure he was simply saying, “Notice me.” Several times I said, “Dash get off of there”….and he refused to budge. I finally had to push him off.
He wasn’t happy that I didn’t understand his cat speak.
