Congratulations W2R!!!!! I am so happy for you Here's to more coffee and naps
Thank you, Citrine and Audrey!
Audrey, I just have to point out that this is my FIRST MONDAY since I retired. I absolutely love it - - today I went to the gym for a nice long workout, and then have been relaxing and enjoying life while my co-workers set their alarms early to struggle through traffic in order to get to work and hassle with office politics and stress.
Hey, a lot of us resemble that remark......while my co-workers set their alarms early to struggle through traffic in order to get to work and hassle with office politics and stress.
I was terrible! I think for at least two years I would say "nyah, nyah, nyuh, nyah, nyah!" whenever I noticed the commuters madly rushing to work on weekday mornings...... and then have been relaxing and enjoying life while my co-workers set their alarms early to struggle through traffic in order to get to work and hassle with office politics and stress.
As for my napping so far, well, one day I took a nap for two hours in the middle of the afternoon.
Many a day on the old j*b at about 2PM I would dream of the day when I could just stretch out under a ceiling fan and take a snooze.
Yes, in retirement you can enjoy a leisurely two hour siesta, but can it really compare to the delicious guilty pleasure of putting your head down on that cold Formica desk and stealing 90 seconds of downtime from the borg before the phone rings again?
But isn't this where we lose something in retirement?

Well now...it seems to me you are a man of FIRE in more ways than one.....Umm....I'm afraid I didn't have the luxury of a cold Formica desk....or a chair to sit in. 2 PM usually found me standing in front of a pedestal fan blowing 100 degree air. My 'phone' was the sound penny sized chips of hot steel being flung from a solid bar spinning at 500 rpms.
I always got caught when I fell asleep at work. The keyboard imprints on my face would give me away.

WhereI w*rk, if you accidentally fall asleep for a minute it's a class II violation. Three of those and you're out the door. If you intentionally go to sleep(sound asleep) and you get caught it's automatic termination.
Yowza W2R. I'm amazed at how many folks here responded to your retirement post! Just goes to show you how fond we are of you.
Hope you are adjusting, chilling, and taking time to smell the roses
Came home, had a big dinner, and I am feeling lazy. I am not only taking time to smell the roses, I feel like I am languishing in a sea of roses at the moment...
