I am recently retired from public service (Director of Building & Safety) and I am in the process of returning to the private sector.  Not sure if I want to get my General Contractor's license reinstated, or just do construction consulting and supervising, along with CAD drafting and design for commercial and residential buildings.  I am also an expert on a popular Permit Tracking program that is used in dozens of cities and counties throughout the USA and I am hoping to work with those jurisdictions in improving their implementations and helping them to maintain their systems.  I have/had one city signed up, but they are reconsidering and might migrate to a newer program and cancel my contract.  I owe my possibility to be working in the IT industry to my interest and learning on my Amiga in the mid-eighties.  How else could an uneducated nail pounder like me get so far and be asked to work as an independent computer consultant?

With Amiga anything is possible!

Are you a Masochist or something?  Who in their right mind would want to retire and then work in an environment like the U.S. Postal service???  :crazy:

I feel for you and hope you get out alive without being scarred for the rest of your life.     :-o
