Posted by: Sean on January 23, 2008 01:42 PMI agree with this . Although I would love to be working again .
Posted by: Big Mark on January 23, 2008 04:39 PMI cannot wait to be retired!!!!
Posted by: Kim on January 23, 2008 04:54 PMI would agree with most of them except the one about missing the people I used to work with. I guess I was just lucky in that I really did like the guys I worked with, both those who were in charge of me and those who worked for me. Really great guys.
Posted by: dick on January 23, 2008 05:49 PMDon't miss people I use to work with, either.
I like being retired and jumping back into bed when it's cold outside and sleeping until 10:30 or 11 a.m. ... thinking about all those people who had to get up, get dressed, put on makeup, do hair, fight traffic, and get their butts to work on time. Not to mention I get to wear pjs all day.
Posted by: vicki on January 24, 2008 03:34 PMSeems I have it better than I thought!!!
I'm retired AND I have a full-time job! I go into work on Thursday from 1:30 in the afternoon until perhaps 3:45 ... and get paid for a 40-hour week (plus a VERY good Benefit-Package).
I'll be a SRF yet!
