Slow But Steady
Recycles dryer sheets
I've been thinking and talking about retiring for a couple of years. DW actually retired a bit over two years ago, and our money situation was OK for me to retire at that time, but I was still enjoying the work and not quite ready to go.
I'm 62 and my wife is 61, so it's not exactly early retirement by the standards of this board, but it's still a big step. I'm an engineer doing advanced process control work in a big chemical plant. The technical content of the work is still quite interesting, but I find I have less patience with the administrative and other BS content of the job.
My last day will be July 15. I find that I'm excited and apprehensive at the same time, like many of the stories I read here.
By the way, there actually is a "Retire" button on the company's internal web site, but they make it hard to find.
