18/30: The countdown

[darkemeralds]

Less than 200 days till retirement. And still not much of a clue what happens after that.

well, clearly the first thing after that is going out for drinks to celebrate your freedom!

and after that it's knitting, enjoying the not!ratrace and figuring out how you *do* want to spend your time; I bet you survive the transition

GRATS!

Guy next to me here at work has a counter on his door, today it's at 109.
Instead of pulling numbers off, as he leaves he's sticking new numbers ON, so now he's got about an inch and a half of paper and tape jutting out from the door. Remarkable...

I have envy, hang in there!

I am SO jelly.

I think after that your life starts. ;) (Or a very good section of it, anyway!)

I wouldn't know what to do with myself. On the other hand, I'm 28 and have yet to actually start anything resembling a "real job", but I will soon. (This whole M.Div --> chaplain thing seems pretty real-jobby.)

So I will be watching closely to see what it is that smart, savvy retired folks actually do besides loiter in diners. (There's a story lurking.)

After that you enjoy your leisure time till you get bored. Then you find something you WANT to do. I'm looking forward to finding out what that is!

Joy!
