Strange desire to work

I've enjoyed not having to work since I packed it in. It's nice not having to get up early, although I can if I want to. It's nice not to have all those meaningless targets and nice not being encouraged to throw public money at people on the off chance there may be a bonus point in it in the event, however coincidentally, that person starts work.

But lately I have been scouring job vacancies in an attempt at persuading step daughter Mel there are jobs she can do and I have been finding myself thinking "could I do that?" and feeling as if it would be good to apply. I guess there's an element of wondering if I am still able to work.

There would also be a bonus in that a wage would provide some money for the horrendous prescription bill we have. Hopefully there is light at the end of that particular tunnel soon.

In practice, it would be difficult to take a job anyway due to caring responsibilities. But I could quite see myself in a government job here...not that there are any advertised.

Every time I look there are no vacancies in Moncton; only other places. I have to wonder if vacancies are filled by transfers with people wanting to move here rather than recruiting.
