Happy Anniversary

[old medic]

At 7PM one year ago today, I ended a long 36-hour shift. I checked off duty ending over 34 years as a Paramedic in our county. For the next 10 minutes the airwaves were full of thanks and congratulations coming in.
On Monday I dropped in to deliver a tray of homemade goodies and a Christmas card... they tried to get me to come back to work. I do miss it....


But not that much...

Good luck and thank you for 34 years as a first responder.

Congratulations and thanks for the reminder! Your post reminded me that I retired 4 years ago as of 2 days ago.

Happy anniversary!
I’m 2 weeks behind you. Retired on 12-30-21.
Have you found it to be an adjustment period and if so, how have you adjusted?

 

[old medic]

Girly... I'm still adjusting. Many nights I can't hardly sleep. I lay on the couch and drift in and out watching movies. Don't want to disturb the working wife. It's funny that most times, it's when I should have been working nights anyway. Spent way to many times going on 4 hours sleep a night.

Isn't it amazing how quickly the time in retirement goes?
Congratulations on your one year anniversary!

 

[Car-Guy]

What, no e-goodies for us? We could celebrate too.


Congrads.

Nice way to go out - with radio traffic crackling your praises!

May you have more retirement years than w*rking years! Congratulations.
