New Retired Guy

[Gottafishmore]

Hi Folks,
I retired a bit earlier than expect in July 2020 at 63, it was my Independence Day!
Had 28+ years with the agency but the last few with a incompetent manager. As a Facility Manager for a Agency of the State I was on call 24-7 for most of those years, loved my job and had a great crew! Covid & stress helped me decide it was the right time for me to go. In the beginning there was terrible anxiety but my wife helped me thru that. Life is good now.

Welcome and congratulations.... If it helps to know, it seems like a lot of us ran into manager incompetence near the end of our careers...

Welcome to the club! Think of all that you can do now that you only have one person trying to tell you where you have to be when!

Welcome. I hope you enjoy every minute.

I figure there were always incompetent managers, but we saw more of them as we got to more senior positions and we had less tolerance for them as our nest eggs grew. Welcome!

Now you have time to enjoy the time you have.

When I retired 4 months ago, my wife got me one of those clocks that tells the day of the week, mostly as a joke. Well it's no joke that I refer to it pretty regularly now, the days, weeks and months are racing by and the same magic will happen for you.
