WHAT A GREAT IDEA

I had an inspiration yesterday, going to start a new venture. Vacations for retired persons. I got to thinking, when you are retired, why go on vacation. YOU ARE ON vacation, all the time. So, my idea.

Put them to work for a month. Some retires executive, put him to work for a month at GM, they can let one of their exec's go on vacation, while my guy does his job for a month. Alll GM has to do is put them up in a motel, feed them, and use that fountain of talent and information to their advantage.

NO pay, all my people are just "contract labaor."

Just think what GM gets .... all that experience, new viewpoints, maturity, all that knowledge, and even more, ENTHUSIASM. My people come in "fired up" ... ready to get to work. They are not worried about retirement, job security, the future ... they live in the future. So GM probably gets a years work in one month, and new viewpoints. They can say what is on their mind.

I forget what the figures are on "retired" people in this country. What a work force they are. Just think what they have to offer. There is probably more experience, knowledge and ideas in the retired force, than there is in the present work force. Our people work one month a year, and rest for 11 months .... instead of working for 11 months and resting for one.

Now all I need is the ability to find them all, get them all in the computer, find potential employers, get them in the system, figure out some way to match them up, work out all the legal ramifications, I suppose workmans comp in each state, or something, then figure out about the IRS .... no real income .. I guess the motel and the food is income ... but they are retired, a mainframe, a staff to run the whole thing. Well that's true, my retired workforce may not know how to do all that, need some younger folks ... more techie ... ..... what ..... how much .... that much? Wow, more than I though it would be.

OK, I'm retired and have a lot of time on my hands, I'll keep this thought going, the idea is great, I'll just work on it some more, but I'm going fishing tomorrow, and I have that job I'm doing for the City, that's gonna take a couple of weeks, that. Oh, I forgot too, one of my retirement jobs is doing demos at WalMart, just a couple a week, keeps me busy. I may cook ribs in a competition in July sometime, and we may go visit the kids for a week in July also.

Put that on hold for a while.
