Old Buna Retiring?

Jimbuna · 08-09-13, 02:36 PM

I'll find out next Thursday or Friday what the decision is

Odd, but I never thought of you as "retiring"...

<O>

No such do, first after you have come beyond the 100000 post marks, you can talk about retirement.

He has an irregular job because he has a pension but his wife says "If I gotta, you gotta!"

Jim, I'm hoping' for ya.

We all reach an age (hopefully) when we must consider that question.

I don't understand the "I gotta, you gotta.". If I did my time gotta then I retire gotta.

. Good luck brother!

Good luck on retiring Jim, I hope it works out for you! I retired last year, and it is great! I got real lazy, real quick!

But I am a bit more actve now, I do one situp a day. I sit up in bed around 8 AM, look at the alarm clock, realize I don't have to be anywhere or doing anything, then I lay back down!

I'm slowly getting back in shape, for what, I have no clue.

Schroeder · 08-09-13, 05:15 PM

Can I have your job then? I'm still looking for one. But you would have to bring it here to Germany as the commute to the UK would be a bit much.

Hope your retirement $ holds up: I unretired and do it as a contractor instead of employee. I hate it when municipalities declare bankruptcy. Love all your imput for subsimmers; you can't retire from that!

WernherVonTrapp · 08-09-13, 08:48 PM

If it is anything like my job was,

I wish you a speedy and happy retirement. I didn't have much choice. I kept getting injured (signs of old age) and didn't want to become a liability to anyone, especially my partner.
Best of luck and wisdom in your decision.

I've been discussing the pros and cons with Steve on Skype for a while now and currently the biggest pro is I'm only 56 and feel the younger I am the longer I hope I can enjoy it. On the other hand, the con is the fact the wife doesn't have the pension provision I have and will therefore probably work on...now that can easily become a bone of contention so the compromise will be me taking over what we call over here 'househusband duties', only time will tell if that arrangement works out.

Your welcome to it mate...to much resentment in the workplace when others find out your already in receipt of a pension and working.

Cheers...the retirement is from real life and nothing else.

Rgr that....retired from LEO work at 50 IIRC (seems like a lifetime ago). When you start thinking of the scars as trophies tis definitely time to step back and give the youngsters a turn.
