Hi---
I have been lurker for some time and decided to jump in and say hello. Today was my first day back at work for 2008. It was a good day, but I was surprised at a couple of folks who volunteered "Hey, I was ready to come back to work today!" Well, not me---While the day was fine, I must admit that I am looking forward to retirement and would have been happy to not have to come back for more days (or ever). I have a couple of years to go so that day is still in the future for me. My plan is to retire at 55---so that is not super early but certainly better than traditional retirement age.
