13 years ago today I retired. Still not bored.
“So I'll have a party on the next anniversary of it. And you are ALL invited! Just bring a dish to pass.”
THIS is what I should do....A bit off topic but related. I started and ran a small distribution company for 28 years before Captain's Choice. When I sold it I looked around and realized I had "retired" myself by selling the company. Nobody else was going to toss me a party or get me a gift so it was up to me! I pondered it a bit and decided to get myself an Omega Speedmaster and call it good. For me, that watch will always represent my first company.
My dad was within 6 months of being retired for as long as he worked from the job he despised everyday for 25 years.This will be my fifteenth, not quite halfway to the amount of time I spent humping that load.
Dave, I can't even imagine working a job I despised. And I have a pretty damn good imagination.My dad was within 6 months of being retired for as long as he worked from the job he despised everyday for 25 years.
He got the last laugh.
You sound exactly like my Dad. NOBODY enjoyed their retirement as much as he did!Retired 19 years. Back when I first started I was told by the "old timers" that when it was time for me to retire I'd know it.
Where they ever right! I'm still trying to figure out how I had the time to do all of the yard work and other things I do and go to work too. Maybe now I'm playing too much golf? .....Nah.

That's the key to a happy retirement, enjoying good times. It's what we work so long and hard for.I retired kinda early at 50. It will be 4 years next month. I miss my work friends, but don't miss work. I am out and about looking for the next good time everyday. I am not sure I have stayed home 24 hours straight since retiring.
