Life One Week to Retirement

Good afternoon fellow Planeteers!

Exactly one week from today I will log off my laptop, gather what is left of my belongings at the office, hand in my equipment and turn in my badge.

After almost 48 years in my selected occupation I decided that the end of March is my retirement date. I've met many good people in my line of work and made a great deal of life long friends....(some of them Chiefs fans too)

Without getting too sentimental.....I think I have run my race and done the best I could to always be at the top of my game.

Now comes the next stage of my life....and I do have plans. But it would be nice to hear from any of the rest of you who are retired as to what happened after you retired......did you take a few weeks off before just moving to something part time or volunteer work? Or did you just hit the ground running.

Any retirement wisdom is greatly appreciated.

(And no....I am not taking a trip to Belize nor will I be drinking any anti-freeze)

Hey Belize is nice and your retirement money goes further!

Weird that you are being coy about your field of work even though you are about to retire from it.

I retired and spend all day masterbating

Weird in what way? I have posted in here before about what I do for a living.

But to satisfy your curiosity I am a Corporate Senior Credit Manager....

Congrats.....means both of us will have more time for our respective Chiefs groups here in FL.

Who knows...maybe what I will do is choose a different chapter each game and drive to that city. See some other groups.

Yeah.....I was thinking of becoming the new Skip Towne. :-)

Congratulations!

You will enjoy it.

I don't think you need to rush into a new activity, unless you are already involved with some project and would like to be more involved.

No need to commit yourself to some situation where somebody expects you to show up. They aren't the boss of you. You are.
