I quickly learned that everyday is Saturday but Saturday. Anything you would have done on Saturday the involves driving to a store, do it during the week when they are less busy. No sense fighting the crowds.

Congratulations, SnappyTom. It's Monday, and you are NOT going to work. How wonderful does that feel!

Congratulations snappytom! Enjoy your well deserved retirement! I too got caught up in the OMY during the pandemic but this weekend said enough and started the conversation with the corporate gods on the bye-bye date!

Congratulations! I retired at 57 now about 6 years ago. I still pinch myself everyday, it is truly liberating and I love every minute of it. Retirement is the best job I ever had!
I am sure you are going to love it!

Congrats! I’m starting my second month of “detox”, having retired on 12/31/2022, and it is fabulous! In fact, I wish I did this sooner. I’m finally past the point of thinking about staff meetings, projects, briefings, and other work related issues, and am enjoying life. That took about 3 weeks, but is to be expected after a 30 plus year career. Enjoy your detox!

Good job. Now you can escape those WI winters. Tomorrow morning I drop off my computers and security cards at the office. Tomorrow is a floating holiday for timecard purposes. Head out to St Croix tomorrow night. M,T and Wednesday will be vacation days on the timecard (which I'll sign tomorrow before we head out). Took a long walk yesterday and today. Officiating some volleyball matches tonight. I have a feeling this retirement thing will be alright.

Congratulations! SS puts your full retirement age at 67; so I say you're early!
Now you have time to post on the forum once in a while.

Well done!! Congratulations!
Take your time to let it sink in and just enjoy waking up each day to a day of possibilities. And that does NOT mean that you have to do something spectacular. Because, really, just waking up is spectacular.
