Widder, SASS #59054 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I think the "Good News" is better. I hope the next 77 goes by fast for you. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Schoolmarm is down to the middle 50s in actual working days. She's got a dry erase board hung on the fridge and she's counting 'em down. Hours too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Blackwater, do not make my mistake. At the beginning of the first school year after Miss Lorrie's retirement I asked if she was ready to go back and substitute. After she settled down a bit I promised I would never say such a stupid thing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I don't want to hear it... But I will offer congratulations in 77 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugs Bonney SASS # 10171 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I think at 50 days it is legal to start telling short jokes. "I'm so short I don't have time to get into a long conversation", "I'm so short I rolled out of bed this morning into my boots and it took me an hour to climb out" and don't forget your "short timers ribbon"and FIIGMO button.

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I started singing "I got the short timers blues' when I got within a year of my retirement..... Every now and then, I would also sing..... "I wanna go home' by Bobby Bare. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugs Bonney SASS # 10171 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I've been retired for 3 1/2 years and it is everything it is cracked up to be. I've written four books and spent untold hours in the shop working on guns and hours at the range shooting them. I get out to fish a couple of times a week in the summer and the wife and I take a couple of trips a year. What's not to love about not working?

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I retired last October. I've been busy goofing off, loafing and taking naps. I thought I would miss the excitement and challenges of working, but I was wrong. I don't even like watching the news. The wife and I have been camping 5 times since November. It's really nice to need to do something and just go do it. No scheduling or taking days off required. I like retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 I'm not gonna quit working completely. I'm planning on putting my name on the substitute teacher list at some of the local schools. I haven't been in a class room in very nearly 30 years. I hope I'm still smart enough! Also getting married on June 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Once I get the house paid off ... another five years. Then with that money, get the cars paid off, and the other debts. Then I can think about not workin' for a livin'. Right now, though, I am worth more dead than alive, and them short sighted bottom polishers at work task me like I'm a rented mule. Maybe it's because Old Whiskers is the only man Jack among 'em who can still work like he's eighteen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLACKFOOT SASS #11947 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I did that back in '97, once since then I went to work again just so I could get some time off. After a few years I stopped working at all and now am doing well and have really became good at loafing. My favorite pastime is turning money into noise, my job is reloading so that I can make more noise. Blackfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kajun Sorry it took me so long to get back on your disparaging comment. I've been busy trout fishing and camping in the mountains. Busy busy busy.
