I'm now officially retired!

[Slow But Steady]

I'm now officially retired!

My last day of work was Friday, but I feel like this is my first day of retirement, because it's the first Monday that I didn't have to wake up to the alarm clock. I've been a chemical engineer for 40 years.

Some of my friends at the plant will make fun of me, but I find that I'm still thinking about how to make the plant's control systems run better. (Hopefully that will pass quickly...)

My plans for today? Absolutely nothing.

You're the last of a 40 year employee, and my hat's off to you.

Now, go take a really long vacation and get ready for a much slower life. Nothing like a quality life in retirement.

Thanks for all the kind wishes. I believe I'll take a nap.

 

[Done]

Congrats! When I first retired, I thought I would take a few months to decompress and do nothing. It turns out that was my most industrious period, tackling various home projects that I'd had no time for. Now those are done and out of my system so I spend time exercising and doing whatever I want, on my own schedule. Damn that Pokemon GO. Enjoy!

 

[Car-Guy]

Congratulations

 

[DrRoy]

Well done. Early next year I'll join you.

Congratulations!!! You have earned that nap! My suggestion is to take a week and stay at a B&B for a week with no plans for the entire time. Just let the day take you where it will. For me that was hard at first since my days had been scheduled for so long, and taking time away broke me of the meeting habit.

Enjoy your retirement and your nap!
