Feeling Emotional after Lockdown

What about setting yourself up as a Virtual Assistant?
Draw up a CV showcasing your best admin skills and advertise it locally, asking interested parties to get in touch with you to find out more, discuss rates of pay, hours, etc.
You can work from home, set your own hours, and pick and choose the type of work you want to do, etc...
VAs are becoming increasingly popular nowadays, especially with small businesses or single entrepreneurs who can’t afford/don’t want to have a full-time employee, and I imagine that will apply even more in this new society.

PS you do need a purpose, and where to find one is to do something you like to do . Anything at all as long as it's not immoral, illegal, or fattening.

Candy, your letter is not dull and boring, anyway. I am not much of a joiner either, and lockdown is a good excuse for not taking the trouble to join things. Maybe it would be worth while to make the effort to join something if only to be with people for the duration of the meetings. WI might be easy for you to try out.

I’m not sure TBH but will check it out. Thanks x

Do you have an agency near you that offers temp admin jobs? you can pick and chose plus be as flexible as you want without worrying.

I was in admin before and this is the type of job I’m looking for. There’s lots around, some just aren't suitable, others are but like I said, I’m not sure if it’s my age putting them off. I wouldn’t mind doing some admin volunteering but never seem to find anything like that. It all seems to be about working in a charity shop which I don’t really want to do.

What makes you think you're dull and boring? I bet you're not boring but you do sound lonely and bored. Some people are just not meant to be at home alone all day others thrive on it.

What type of job did you have before early retiring? Could you use your skills to set up a business or get involved with a charity in a way that will utilise your skills?
