Woo!

Do you know where you're going next, or are you going to "rest" for a while?

Congrats, anyway. I start my new job on the 23rd - regular money, taxes
withheld, all the good stuff!

I'd love to do that, but a paycheck comes in handy sometimes.

No rest for the wicked, unfortunately. I'm going to try and get a couple
of week's rest in, but that time will probably be spent emigrating and
shipping stuff.

Finally! Yup, goingot work for a company that I've had 3 boats built by, which
at least means I know everyone there. I drew the owner's boat 13 years ago,
and he's still sailing it and winning, so I guess that's a good recommendation.

Can't see the start of this thread but congrats bomba, and from your last
comment I take it you've decided to go the contractor route? Do you plan on
bing based back in blighty or going to live out of a suitcase taking work in
suitable areas Hmm a job in Whistler/Moab/Les Gets etc etc...

Steve.

Will initially be working in The City, which is a bit rubbish for biking.
Maybe look at jobs in Alps / Rockies / Peru at a later date 🙂

You should ;-) It's a kind of "anti-midlife-crisis" kinda thing. I've been
working for myself, taking all the time off I wanted (unpaid, obviously) for
basically 20 years. It is now time to realise that at the age of (ahem!)
frikkin' close to 50, it is time to have a real job with a real income, and
some kind of real plan for retirement (like savings...) How I got 4 kids
through childhood, let alone 3 of them through college, like this I will never
know. But it worked.
So, I sold the Ferrari and the crotch-rocket, returned the jet-ski unused, and
got a job. ;-))

Good luck! Sounds like you are a man with a plan... or at least a good idea.
Going back to Engerland? You said Emigrating but isn't that more like going home, Reindocrinated some such...
Emigration sounds like a trip to Austrailia or something... not that there is anything wrong with that :-)

Yes you have (piffling little) cities in the North, but "The City" is in
the South. It's the very centre of London, or "The Square Mile".

It's a plan.

I don't know about a business plan involving "creaming" -- ewww!

(you mean as in "cream your shorts", right?)

Give mt regards to Threadneedle Street. Used to be the centre of my "patch" in
my puter engineering days (probably before you was born....1976)

My guess is that he's moving to Colorado (and not the Far Side), so he
can begin real mountain biking.
