  • First day of retirement

    Pulled the plug yesterday after 34 years. It was time. Not going into full-scale retirement yet, will be picking up some extra hours at my side-job. Going from working about 50 hours a week to maybe 20 should be interesting.

    Wow, congrats! I'm curious how it goes for you ... I'm about 9 years away.
    It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

      I feel I ought to retire. Yesterday was almost 14 hours.

      I owe, I owe, It's back to work I go.

          I got around 7 - but with the company going through changes you never know. I find some job to do in the summer and plan on going back to coaching basketball in the winter.

            Congrats!

            I don't think I will ever be able to retire.

                    Wouldn't that be just changing jobs?

                    All kidding aside, why would you want to do that?

                            the deli is already on my block, the hot dog stand would be right in front of my house and would be a cash business where I'd set my own hours and work whenever I felt like it...
