Bill125812 3,538 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Hey guys As many of you know, I work as a surgical rep full time and make cables on the weekend. On Monday I put in my notice to retire from my day job. Next week I’m going on a weeks holiday, then work for one more week after that. Then retirement. What this means Is that I will be able to get orders out faster, as I’ll be an old retired bastard needing something to do lol I will try and get most of the existing orders out by this weekend. I’ll still be answering questions and taking orders next week for deliver ASAP. Cheers Bill 62 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Administrators Marc 12,672 Posted November 18, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 18, 2020 Congratulations. Many people are scared of retirement and don't know what they will do with themselves. You've carved out a great little niche and something that you obviously enjoy. I'm glad that has worked out for you, and we look forward to seeing you even more frequently on here! 4 Link to post Share on other sites

LogicprObe 7,679 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Great news! I've not ordered any cables from you because of what a slack arse I've heard you are! Four hours sleep each day is far too much! We want you poppin' speed and caffeine and churning out your fabulous cables 24 hours a day. Spoiler Congrats and best for the future. 7 Link to post Share on other sites
jakestar 163 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Congrats Bill Nothing beats retirement with a hobby to keep things interesting. Imagine the time you'll now have to kick back and enjoy the music being made from your stereo setup and cables. Most folks are so time poor they barely have time to listen to their music so well done for making the decision. Peter 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I never use the word retirement in the context of no longer being in paid employment. The root of the word retirement from its French origins is “to withdraw’. It is as if one has gone to sleep. I am now a gentleman of leisure. Also not being in work beats working any day. Enjoy the freedom of your choices as to what you do each day. It is quite liberating.

John I was confidently told by my workmates when I 'withdrew' from paid work I would be bored within a year and that I would be chaffing at the bit to re-enter the paid work world again... I said nahhhh... I said I would rather sit in my kitchen looking out the window and watching the wind shake tree foliage all day whilst drinking cups of tea..than work. When it comes to paid work of any form I am of the opinion of this Guru... Edited November 21, 2020 by BLAH BLAH 1 Link to post Share on other sites
