Super User Tennessee Boy Posted April 15, 2022 Super User Posted April 15, 2022 Today is my first day of retirement. I’d been planning to spend it on the water but I celebrated my last day of work yesterday by testing positive for COVID. So today I’ll be watching TV and coughing. ? 13 1 Quote

Super User A-Jay Posted April 15, 2022 Super User Posted April 15, 2022 Super Sorry to hear you've got 'The Covid' as my MIL calls it. Hope you can get right very soon. As for your retirement - Congratulations Might just be one of the more interesting times in our lives. From the transition, to the settling into it, to the reality of it; it can be as much of a challenge as a welcome change. Best part might be, you are now on @Tennessee Boy Time. A-Jay 2 Quote

A-Jay That’s the absolute truth! Welcome to the club! The changeover to retired life is a bit more difficult than I ever imagined but it’s been 2 years for me and I’m getting there. 2 1 Quote

Super User Log Catcher Posted April 16, 2022 Super User Posted April 16, 2022 Welcome to the retired club. I am in my eighth year of retirement and wish I could have done it a lot sooner. It is tough. It took me almost 20 minutes to get adjusted to it. Hope you get well soon. 1 Quote

Super User BrianMDTX Posted April 16, 2022 Super User Posted April 16, 2022 Congrats on the retirement. I hope to join you one day this decade! Worst retirement story ever. I worked at a company decades ago, and a woman retired with IiRC over 35 years or more. Had a big party for her on Friday, her last day. While leaving on her last day ever at work, she was struck by a truck who came off the exit ramp and the brakes failed. Killed instantly headed across the street to the parking lot. Never got to enjoy one second of retirement away from work. Shortly afterwards the company built a pedestrian bridge across the road to the parking lot. 5 Quote
