I'll retire when they find my dried carcass at my desk gripping a pencil, pen or mouse.... after 6 years of being overly responsible, working for someone would be a break, plus my work lately is freakin' boring.
I sent out a few resumes already... so far they offer very low pay or too qualified

The older you get the more over qualified you become.
One of the first jobs I had was working for an employment agency. We used to make up a guy like you and call up companies pretending to be looking to place you but actually getting entry level and janitorial listings.
You should write books.

I don't even give a damn what you were to write books about, I'd buy all of them.

I've got a great business opportunity if you're interested.

I've dumbed down my resume and some people still thought I was overqualified after talking to them on the phone
During my employment, most of my employers and a few fellow employees wrote books and articles, there is not money in it unless you add marketing to it... most successful design firms and a few sign shops hire a marketing consultant. I may need an artistic release like a blog, but I need to have a website up to take advantage of it.
Or a nice cushy desk where I can chat with fellow designers and shop guys and take interns out to eat and pick their brain at what they are learning at school.

Ground Floor Business Opportunity
We could open a cat ranch.
Don't laugh. Hear me out. I've got an option to lease 40 acres of land nearby. It's all fenced in and ready to go. We stock it with 100,000 female cats and enough males to breed them all. The annual yield should be around 1,000,000 cats a year. The market for cat pelts to fur lined glove manufacturers is 90¢ a piece ... so the gross should come in around $900,000.00 a year.
The problem that plagued me for years with this proposition was, "What do you feed these cats all year when you only have 90¢ a piece to work with?" Then it hit me. It was so obvious!
We run a fence down the middle of the property and put all the cats on one side and stock the other side with about a million rats. Nobody cares about rats and they breed ten times faster than cats. So we feed the rats to the cats and solve that problem.
The only other problem is what do you feed the rats. They don't produce any revenue. Then it hit me. It was so obvious!
After we skin the cats for their pelts, we have their carcasses leftover.
So we feed the rats to the cats and the cats to the rats! We end up with 1,000,000 pelts a year and move to easy street! And we haven't even considered the franchising potential.
