Dipping a toe in the employment water

Up to this point of being laid off, the corona virus pandemic and dealing with unemployment compensation I've been at odds whether I should be seriously searching for a job given that I will be retiring in September. At that point I'd be taking Social Security payments and withdrawals from my retirement savings. Until recently there was no mandate to be actively looking for work and as the mandate did take effect emailing resumes have been disingenuous as I have no desire to work full time. That being the case I signed on with a national and a local temp agencies. The local offered some work that I thought might be fine but as it turned out put me in a situation with people who were cavalier with social distancing recommendations among several other issues. With that I'll wait out the situation for the next few of weeks and pick up a life of a sometime blogger and home and yard baron, much as I'm doing now.
