You too! hope this would be great!

Happy New Year to us all!

Wow, that was fast. With any luck I'm retiring this year. Not sure what that's going to lead to. Hopefully I'll have time to play around more.

Good luck, sincerely, if you retire. I have been retired for three years now. People always told me “you’ll get bored.” Not so thus far. Life has gained a great flexibility, and what always seemed to me to be the weight of job stress (engineer at a specialty steel mill) has been lifted. Three local grandchildren have added great joy, as has the pride of watching three adult children progress through their own lives. This peculiar QS interest, and this forum, have provided a pleasant and interesting diversion.

Also, thanks and good luck with the new productions. So far, they look fantastic.

Happy New Year to all here.

This sounds very much like my situation and what I anticipate. I'll probably have another job somewhere but one where I don't have to worry about 24 hrs a day for every day of the year. I want to be able to take an uninterrupted vacation and not have to respond to text messages in Church. Yeah, I can't wait. Thanks.

I have known people who were bored with retirement. Some of those died within a year or so. For myself I will have been retired for ten years at the end of May, and I am busier than I ever was while working. Retirement is what you make it, subject, of course, to health. For me, the best part is not having to answer an idiot boss, and the idiot boss's idiot boss.

Happy new year everyone! (insert party face emoji)

I can see it up ahead guys! It's 2025, the light at the end of the tunnel!
