I replied to both emails - very passive wording, but politically took the position that I really would rather just stay retired.
The guy that spoke up called me within minutes of me sending his email. He apologized (he wanted to in person) and let me know why he spoke up - now I kind of feel sorry for him (still do not like him though). He accidentally spoke what he was thinking and before he realized it he had said it aloud...
Like I said earlier, I knew him from before, but he had left the office and had just accepted a promotion to come back as the office manager over the area, but was told that they were bringing me in to help him get on track. In his mind he felt that he got a job that they considered him not qualified for (he isn't totally, but probably the best they have).
He was frustrated and under the gun - so he slipped. He asked me to reconsider, but I said I could not - I told him that I was now sure there was to much stress for me to handle - retirement has kind of spoiled me. I also think that maybe he is going to be the fall guy if he can not show progress...
I now feel sorry for him, but also know I would not last a month, much less 6 months in the current environment. I am sending him some notes to get him started - biggest areas of concern with the most bang for the buck.
I am going back to my original plan. Finish my renovations, get moved, take a vacation, get the for sale signs out and then start my hobby / entrepreneurial pocket money ideas. I can watch Matlock when I want, I can go fishing when I want or I can work at my own pace... This is a much better idea...
I do want to say thanks for all the replies. Helped a lot.
