I am done

[zbear]

I was off for two months in October and November for some surgery. Then for two weeks over the holidays for plant shut-down. The surgery was the 1st time I have been off for any extended length of time other than vacations. I would wake up every morning and had a sense of relief that I didn't have to go in today. After nearly 40 years there, I tell others: I don't want to quit working, I just want to quit working here. I want to get into that "relief" mode again one of these days.

I was a firefighter for 28 years. I loved it. But now, I feel it is a great place to be from.
Enjoy, we have all earned it.

Retirement is like riding a trike. It takes a little time to get use to it, but once you do, you wonder way you didn't do it sooner.

I still remember how much I enjoyed lying in a nice cozy bed, on that first Monday after I retired, listening to the neighbors leave for work.

Congratulations!

I especially enjoyed that last week, when it was 25 below zero.

Congratulations. I have been retired for 13 years now. At first it takes some getting use to. Trying to figure out what day is really Saturday. Next is trying to figure out where you want to take a ride today. Have a great retirement.pepper:wave4:clapping:Congrats:

Congratulations!!!! You will love it!! Retired 4 years ago at 55. Worked for the Navy (civilian) for 36 1/2 years. As what everyone has posted is true. Sometimes boredom sets in during the winter so I took up building wood boat models. Have fun. Oh, the wife is still working, has 5 more to go (CSX Railroad).ThumbUppepper

11 months, 2 weeks to go for me. Then I can sit around, gain weight, get old, and be bored for 4 months waiting for spring to ride again. Then wait 2 years for my wife to retire, then we move SOUTH, to warmer weather and longer summers, damn, it's hard to wait.epressed:

I love my retirement, it's just a shame to waste it on old people. I make a great couch potato, but it helps to have football on TV when it's cold. It is correct that I have more time and get less done but I am proud of what little I get done, I think I'll go have a drink to that!
