Overwhelming joy or impending doom?

I think you should still go to work,

Somewhere in the last 35 years, the fairly interesting job of solving problems, designing programs and writing code changed almost imperceptibly into solving pretend problems, designing spread sheets and writing reports. I will be happier.
And thanks!

It is tempting, but if I stirred up trouble an investigation might reveal that I was practicing for retirement as long as a year ago.

Only a year? I've been practicing my whole life! I'm fucking good at it.

Happy retirement! May it be as long and happy as a Manthorp appendage.

I can only hope that WmA's life in retirement is neither as leathery nor as diseased as my appendage.

Congratulations mate. Enjoy but don't get bored, that's when the sofa monster gets you. I have watched my mum slowly become a couch potato over the last year and its heart breaking. We can't get her to do anything except walk to the shops, watch TV or read books.
My wife is going back to work in September so we have asked my mother to be a carer for our daughter which will hopefully bring her out a bit more.
Go, enjoy it, just don't sit still!
