Pigeon Shredder. Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Did the same 5 years ago, though a least my Governor invited me in for coffee and a thank you after time served. First things first, alarm clock into the bin, not required anymore. Now relax for a week because you will never have time to yourself , 5 years on and l don't know where it's gone. But tomorrow is a shooting day, and so is every other if l can swing it with SWMBO. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 if you've no alarm clock how are you ever going to arrive anywhere on time? Difference being your only going to set it when you want to, and if its raining maybe not get up. enjoy your retirement, keep busy though or you'll go strange like my father in law.

shaun4860 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Similar thing happened to me years ago, worked for the same company for 14 years...... Put into others leaving whip rounds/weddings all that time, Got told at 4 o'clock 7 of us were being made redundant, (shift finished at 7) No whip round for us It was as if we had the plague..... As if anyone spoke to us they would be next, to be honest it did rile me at the time but then thought **** 'em, still mates with a couple but that's it. Moved on.....turned out the best thing that could have happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 I know it’s different but I studied joinery at college for 3 years. On the last day I walked out without talking to anyone. I speak to one out of 25 as they aren’t important in my life. I wouldn’t worry . Maybe jealousy My dads 66 and working full time. I hate him to stop completely to be honest. I just see many slip away after retirement inc my grandad. 2 years :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a nice 'send off' from colleagues and management and a very nice retirement gift (shooting related to reflect my interests). I keep in touch with a few (ex) colleagues, just as I have with some who left or retired before me. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time since. I do hope that you enjoy your new life.

Flyboy1950 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Welcome to the club. I ducked out of the rat race at 55 after having worked for the same family company for 30 years, with out a thank you. Sometimes you will want to go back to work "for a rest" Family and mates seem to want to help you fill up your day (NOOOOO). Now got all the time I want to devote to my grand kids and messing about shooting and reloading. A whole new world has just dawned for you with the only pressures being ones you make. Enjoy and live long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmaxphil Posted January 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Thanks for the good wishes, I was more bemused than annoyed still as John innman said " I'm free " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Enjoy your retirement. If the NHS ever need your services again in an emergency you have two choices, either say ‘thanks but no thanks’ or set a rate of pay that you will be happy with and dictate the terms and conditions.
