You're ready to retire when:
- You have to pass by a surf break on the way to work.
- Your new bosses are avoiding you as much as you're avoiding them.
- You look around the workplace and realize that you're going to need a pile of boxes and a week's notice to pack up your stuff.
- The new guys make fun of some old, outdated policy... that you created and implemented to raving applause all those years ago.
- Your kids are older than your co-workers.
- You have [-]uniforms[/-] clothing older than some of your co-workers.
- Your favorite barber retires, you have to find someone else you trust to cut your hair, and you realize it'd be a lot easier to just stop cutting it.
- A boss asks "Who remembers how to do this?" and everyone looks at you.
- You realize that your [-]fitness report[/-] performance review is three months overdue... you don't care, your boss forgot, and the corporate HQ hasn't noticed.
- At the turnaround point for your lunchtime walk you realize that you're closer to home than to work.
- You notice that you're in the oldest age bracket for the military's physical fitness test.
- You start to work out for the upcoming physical fitness test and stop to wonder why.
- Someone has started routing all retirement-related correspondence to your desk.
and finally,
- You wake up one morning and realize you have too many important things to do that day than to waste your time going to work!
