I haven't yet found a retirement activity that tickles my "analytical/investigative side that work sometimes provided so I signed up to do a part time consulting gig for old company.
I estimated that it is maybe 100 hours over the next three months so I will still have free time.
Cons
- I no longer have complete control over my calendar
- some percentage of the time isn't the stuff I enjoy (spent an hour on my client's account payable system already)
- getting wrapped back into the company politics a bit
- weather will start getting nice here so will cut into some potential biking time
Pros
- the project should be interesting
- I know and really like working with a couple of the people on the team
- charging 2x my old hourly rate
- will get to fly back to California a couple of times first class on their dime
- the extra cash will pay for some recent unexpected expenses
It is really an experiment to see if I enjoy it overall.
