Still Retired After All These Weeks

Yes, I am still retired. Seriously, you knew that would be true. And while I miss some things from work, it’s starting to fade into the past (as it should). I don’t have to go back to work after THIS vacation! But what have I been doing? Taking it easy? Yeah, some. But busy too, with these things and more…

Work: Things I Will Miss – Parts 9-14

Is this the last in the series? Maybe. After all, I have officially retired. And not a moment too soon as our idiot governor has decided that all state workers will get paid the federal minimum wage ($7.25/hr). Don’t get me started on that egotistical, bullying chowderhead.

Work: Things I Will Miss – Part 5

As retirement gets even closer, I think of more things I will miss. Not enough to keep working, of course! But it seems like there is always a birthday, someone leaving, a new baby, an engagement, a promotion, or some other event happening to one of the group at work. And so someone, or even [...]

Work: Things I Will Miss – Part 4

Retirement is getting closer and closer. As you may know, I have been blogging about some of the things I will miss from work when I retire. Well, this one is kind of weird, but I do have a good parking space. I know, that’s crazy and I should be glad about saving $50 a [...]

Work: Things I Will Miss – Part 3

It’s the people who work there I will miss. Well, some of them. Not all of them. Of course, some of them won’t miss me either! Whatever. Seriously though, there are some good people where I work and some of them that I will actually miss. Maybe I’ll even keep in touch with a few. [...]
