What do you do for a living?

Retired 15 years from a large Aerospace company. Now, I don't do anything, but am busy doing nothing from sunrise to after sundown.
 
I maintain body temperature for a living. Strangely enough, two of the three entities that pay me for this also pay almost all of the expense of my health care.

As the Trojans used to say, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
 
I'm retired for three years now, after 37 years as a Registered Nurse. Spent most of my career as an O.R. Nurse, started out in the ICU/Recovery Room of a maximum security prison hospital. Have also worked in the E.R., and spent 8 years in USAF Reserve as a Flight Nurse. Most of my O.R. time was in neurosurgery, but have worked all services, heavier in open heart and orthopedics than others. I don't miss it.

Nowadays, I collect my SS and pension, and work part time as a landscaper with a friend of mine who has made his living at it all his life. For fun, I shoot and reload, do some occasional stained glass art, draw and paint, woodworking and build large scale radio controlled airplanes. I used to fly them, but don't have the time any more. I also do volunteer work at our local aviation museum.
 
Two years in a bedding plant nursery. 33 years teaching Horticulture to visually impaired kids for the state. Retired in 14, was losing money working, got lucky with a great retirement plan from state. Spent 5 years keeping grounds at the school to help out. Finally learned to say no and fully not working for money the last year.
 
I retired in 2019. The last 45 years before that I was in Quality Assurance; starting as an inspector and ( for the last 25 or so years ) as a Quality Assurance Engineer. I was in the aerospace industry since about 1985.
No; I don't miss it. My current "Job" is to enjoy life, my wife of 52 plus years and my grandchildren.
 
Well I'm retired from the Fire Service...since 1995. So fot the last 27 years I have endeavored to do well in my present job...of annoying my wife! When she lets me
 
I cash checks for a living. Soc. Sec., pensions, interest and dividends. I have made a pretty good living at it for the last 12 years. I am going to go on keeping on and see how long I can keep doing it. Larry
