Am I going to have trouble relating to working folks?
Yesterday, 2 1/2 months into retirement, I had lunch with my old 'assistant' who now has my job. I liked the guy and hired him to replace me, which actually happened according to plan. He seemed happy enough and brought me up to date with the latest work developments and gossip. I tried to look interested, I hope I didn't give offense, but I really don't miss the staff meetings, budget cuts adjustments, and the petty stuff. I really liked the work I did and I liked the people enough that I would socialize with a number of them even outside of work. So I am surprised at how little work talk interested me.
Am I going to have trouble relating to working folks?
