My plan is to retire some time between December 31 of this year and June 30 of next year. It's contingent on how things are going at work. They're mostly going well, at the moment.
Today I got a mass mailing email that a group which supports a product I happen to like is looking for people to join their group. It'd be a remote assignment, as the group is located in Boulder, Colorado. If I applied and was accepted, I'd be working from home, most likely. I'd be installing the product at other locations. As I happen to think this product needs improvement in the way it gets installed, this would be an interesting assignment.
This might affect the plan. Might not.
Whats weird is that I don't like the thought of the plan changing. I mean: its the plan.

Oh come on. If you were going to change a plan, Boulder would be one wonderful place to do so!! Great weather, great brews, great skiing, hiking, fishing, etc... Clean air, thoughtful people.
I should be on their tourism board.
I didn't say it well. For one thing, it'd be supporting a group that's based in Boulder, but I'd still be here in Pennsylvania. Might do a little traveling, but not as a rule.
No, its the idea that I am surprised to find myself so fixated on the plan to leave work that the mere possibility that I might choose not to disconcerts me. I didn't think I was that rigid. This is an opportunity to do some work that I'd like, and to earn money doing it. What's not to like? Other than this nagging feeling of Yes, but you made up your mind! Fine, minds can be changed, can't they? Yeah, but....
Where in the world does this nagging come from? Good lord, this isn't a life or death thing!
If I had to guess? Its related to the idea of retiring. I'm afraid of facing that -- and having already committed to the idea, I don't want to face it again. Just a guess...
