After 25+ yrs of 12hr rotating shifts I LOVE Retirement.
Now I really really enjoyed my job. I operated a power plant. Boilers, turbines, generators of various sizes and styles. As Control Operator ALL trades had to get approvals for work thru me. I had a great crew, experienced -----good at their job. We functioned as 'one' ---each knew what others needed and when needed.
But due to deregulation the plants were sold, new owners were investors (idiots) and dealing with their 'management' became a real chore.
SAFETY was ignored and tried/true methods were circumvented.
I quit over a major safety issue one fine Friday morning and then come Monday afternoon I officially went from 'unemployed' to RETIRED.
2 months shy of turning 50 years old.That was 13 years ago.
YES..retirement is great.
Lots of OTHER adventures to become involved with.......and time to do so.
What is strange is that when working money was a big concern.
Now.......it is the least of issues and I get less monthly then I ever did when employed.
Life is good......one only needs to stay involved with ANYTHING.

Like I tell the kids, never run away from something, always run to something. If you don't have stuff to do in retirement (or a purpose) all you're doing is running away from a job.
I retired 10 years ago. The week I retired I loaded up the MH and headed to Florida for the winter, been snow birding ever since. RV'ing is now coming to an end for us. I just have to figure out what we want to "run to" at this second stage of retirement.
