Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I did like my work, just liked not working better! I gave many verbal comments about going to retire for several months before I set the final date. On my beginning of the year performance goal setting, I put my goal in writing "retire sometime by mid-year". My mgr knew I was serious and I gave plenty of notice for working on replacement. Being typical megacorp they did essentially nothing and I left without any replacement. With 30 workdays to go, I started a countdown clock on my office door. Everyone knew when my last day was going to be. No big parties, just a nice lunch with group co-workers. Then walked out the last day with a big smile on my face.
I have to be honest that I do not miss work at all. Sometimes think about co-workers and have talked to a couple since leaving. Since I moved 1500 miles away soon as I left work, no chance to go back.
