slowrollwv Posted December 24, 2016 Share #1 Posted December 24, 2016 Well after 37 1/2 years with my work I can add Fridays to my weekends. I am off next week for the holidays. As of Jan. 2 I will have enough Vacation time to use every Friday to add to the weekend till the end of April when I can say goodbye to the place and add the other four days to the weekend.

Venturous Randy Posted December 24, 2016 Share #3 Posted December 24, 2016 I like being retired. I have to look at my phone to know what day is Friday. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylvester Posted December 27, 2016 Share #12 Posted December 27, 2016 I know you will all think me as a crazy person, but I retired at 62 and hung around my farm (mini) for less than six months. I could not take the boredom and not knowing what to do outside my chores. Since then (2008) I have been working for my former employer but not in a management position. I love it and they love me. I will work as long as my knees keep bending and my heart keeps pumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venturous Randy Posted December 27, 2016 Share #13 Posted December 27, 2016 I still wake up around five or six in the morning and will get up. The difference now is instead of taking my nine o'clock nap at my desk at work, I now do it on the couch. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted December 28, 2016 Share #14 Posted December 28, 2016 Pretty much it depends on what programs are on TV for me to know what day of the week it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowrollwv Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share #15 Posted December 28, 2016 It kind of hard to forget what day of the week it is when the wife and daughter are working every day. But I think I can find things to do to keep busy like fishing in the river behind the house or mowing the grass or taking a ride. Just don't know what I will get into but it will not be too much tv.

You are in for a shock. You will find yourself watching 10 yr old shows that you didn't get a chance to watch back then. I still want to watch Star Wars if I could figure out in which order to watch.

Yammer Dan Posted December 31, 2016 Share #18 Posted December 31, 2016 You will be finding your own things that you missed while working. I averaged 72 hrs a week for 20 yrs. I missed a few shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowrollwv Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share #19 Posted January 1, 2017 Dan I will watch some TV but not any more than usual. A friend has offered me a part time job mowing grass for the school system here. I may take the job if it pays enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
