Retirement sucks!!!

[tops]

That might work for a while until she call's you at work one day to stop on your way home, to pick up a loaf of bread.

I worked with a guy that had been retired for several months and his wife called work and was told he had been retired for so many months (can't remember how many). We never heard how that turned out but I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall when he came home. Larry

My former boss said this after he retired:

"Retirement is like going to Heaven without dying"

epj: If you wern't your own boss before, you are now. Doesn't it just feel great, your freedom has been earned ! Enjoy every day of it.

Well I've been semi-retired for a year. Didn't do anything yesterday.I didn't get it all done so I hope to maybe finish it up today.

Then you need......

You're doing it wrong. The only reason to miss a nap is if you're out hunting or fishing all day.

Then you come home, clean up your gear, and take a much deserved nap.

The biggest problem with retirement is how busy you are. I have to work at it in order to schedule a daily nap.

Now that I am retired I don't do anything...and I don't start not doing it until after lunch!

Maybe you should pretend your still at work. Seems to work great for my employees.

Sorry, it was just hanging out there.

I asked a good friend that owns a company, "Joe how many people do you have working for you now?"

Joe: "About half!"

The main problem I have with retirement is not enough time to do everything I want to get done

Seems I'm always busy & I never get a day off anymore

When someone asks what I do to keep busy, I tell 'em I procrastinate. With some practice, you will not have enough time to put-off all you want to do, so you will find yourself put'en off put'en off some thing 'till tomorrow. Then you will already have something to contemplate & put-off.

Right now, I am planning on organizing a chapter of "procrastinator's anonymous", just as soon as I have time to schedule some meetings.

I retired on October 31. It took two whole days to get used to being on a perpetual vacation. The last time I ironed a shirt was October 30. The last time I shaved was in the middle of November. I take a nap in the afternoon with my cat. I have time to do most of the things I want to do, and what I can't do today can be done tomorrow. I think I'll play my banjo now.

Most people work harder and longer hours once retired. They have 40 years of chores and projects to catch up on, plus the wife, kids, and grandkids, all think since gramps is retired he has nothing better to do than to help me with my chores and projects.

This exactly ^^^^^
I retired in May of 2015. Best move i ever made.
It's like every day is Saturday now, except for Sunday.

And it's none of this juggling 3-4 things to keep busy for me.
If i wanted to keep working i would have.
If i feel like going shooting, I do. If i feel like fixing the gutters,
I will. My Wife knows when to not push her luck with me...

It's only been two days....your brain still thinks you're suppose to be at work...give it a few more weeks.....

 

[M3Stuart]

Whenever somebody tells me they're retired I always ask "first time?". They always say "no".

 

[epj]

Just as I suspected. Nothing but a bunch of old farts who cherish outdated wheel guns on this forum! Still going to go as hard as I can, as long as I can.

Been retired for two whole days now, and have yet to get my first nap in. What the hell?

I'm an 11-year retiree. Here are some of my tips for a successful nap:

1. Check your stance.
Poor stance: "I want to take a nap, but maybe I should do something productive instead."
Good stance: "I want to take a nap and I'm going to take it, dammit!"

2. Check your grip.
Poor grip: Thumb and forefinger are uncoordinated, and do not press together well.
Good grip: Thumb and forefinger work harmoniously to press together automatically. This can be learned through repetitive practice.

3. Aim at a light switch.
Once you have developed a good grip (see #2, above), aim it at a light switch. When you have a firm grip on the switch, move it to "off". Then go lie on a comfortable piece of furniture of your choice, and imagine you are taking a nap. With continued practice, muscle memory will kick in, the sight picture will become automatic (plain black), and you will have developed the ability to hit your nap target at will.

After a refreshing nap, you can go over to the range and, a) fire off a bunch of ammo, b) fire off a bunch of golf balls, c) fire up a bunch of burgers, or d) do all of those, if you want. After all you're retired, so enjoy!
