I’m a lot more relaxed and calmer being FIREd.

I think of it as an Optimistic Cautious Disposition.  That is far from some people’s Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders.  It’s not quite the opposite but far towards different ends of the spectrum. 

I will say that for much of my life, I’ve been very detail-oriented.  Very task or goal driven when required.  I’ve also been quite a correctivenest, but not a perfectionist.  I want things correct.

…like this, in early retirement.

I was scheduled for Jury Duty this week.  It was Federal Jury Duty so it was to be a week of calling and driving into downtown, parking, and shuttling to the courthouse to do my civic duty.  Nevermind killing time roaming around at lunch and having to pay for food.

I had prepared for this life interruption by rearranging my life duties and activities to open up this week and possibly the following two weeks in case it was a 3-week trial.
