Great news Vendor, no more getting up early, coming home to eat, and go to bed, then repeat and if you're lucky you get 2 days off!!
What is annoying is when the weekend comes around everything is closed!!! and often the nice weather is during the week, I'll be glad when I can join you Gerald.
Enjoy your retirement mate!

HUzzah!

And I'm glad to see the Vendor News Service (TM) back in action again. Along with the SS front page, the AP, and the BBC, I consider it one of my go to news feeds!

That is something I just can not understand. If I ever had a chance to retire, I would probably be more busy than I am now. The difference is that I would be busy doing the stuff I want to do, when I want to do them.

A lot of folks here stay on at work if they can or find another job. The 60+ age group are looked upon as more reliable than the young, that is too say they will get up in the morning.

I already miss out on routines, but it is too early to draw any conclusions from this.
