The OP may find these recent threads interesting. They’re not on exactly the same point, but a lot of similar ground is covered and lots of interesting war stories and perspectives come out. The second one is especially relevant to the OP.
After over 41 years as a working electrician/fire alarm technician I have finally retired. I don’t really have any hard and fast plans. I plan to up my cooking game quite a bit and there are a few projects around the house I will finally have time to do.
It is strange. I was laid off for a couple of months in the winter of 1973, but except for that I have had a job for 53 years
So my employer made me self quarantine for 10 days (I’m not sick).
Been sit’n at the house going absolutely stir crazy. I’m actually jonesing to get back to work now. It’s left me thinking at 50 years old: I don’t want to retire.
Of course, 15 years from now when I actually do retire, It’s entirely likely I’ll look back on this thread and laugh.
