Bout to be unemployed

resonantHi! It's my 60th birthday! I got laid off yesterday!
Nah, it's not so bad. It was a bit of a shock but it's not awful. I have decent severance, better than I would have expected. I have an employed spouse.
I needed to move on but probably wouldn't have if I hadn't been pushed. I was finding it awfully easy to think, "Mmmmmaybe I could cope with the boredom just long enough to qualify for Medicare?"
My current work is maybe one step below a project manager, but I'm not certified and can't claim the full experience. If your company has fully remote positions like that, I'd be interested in hearing about it. Hell, I'm not looking to move but for research purposes if your company has *onsite* positions like that, I'd like to know what they're called and how to be a good candidate for one.
