I think that guy works where I do

I think that we all know somebody like that. They're not happy unless they're unhappy.

My brother's like that. Always complaining and never does anything about anything.

I have actually changed A few of the

Negative Nancy's that I have work with In the Past.

The Reverse Thinking Thing,

Worked over a carving tool chest, to negative effect. Guess I'm going to make or buy another. :shrug:

**FleetsidePaul** · 04-21-2023, 06:36 AM

I got to test my security cameras last night. My phone went off around midnight. The security guy calling. His phone went off. Some weird rattling noises at the house. You couldn't see anything but you could hear it. So he set off the alarm. We may not be there but we kinda are. The noise stopped. So I pick him up and we drive over there.

We look around the house. It's still locked. Nothing touched just like before. Whoever was there ran away. I think it's the weirdo neighbor snooping around. He waits until we're gone. If it was him then he saw two guys with guns walking around checking everything out. He might think twice from now on.

The fences and gates are in but I leave one gate open for the contractors. That's about to end. I'm moving in, putting on a lock box for the contractors, locking up, and bringing Duke the 100 lb. GSD with me. In other words don't even try that nonsense again buddy. You will be very sorry. Only one creep allowed on the property and I've already got that job.

Shoveled snow. Because the crap is too wet and heavy for my snow blower.

**3757chevy** · 04-21-2023, 10:35 PM

2:30 Today I signed off on my keys to the store and my Retirement papers.

I second that. Congratulations! Retirement is the best. I'm going on 7 years now. Best years of my life. One caveat though. You can't retire from your wife. You still have a boss and plenty of chores.

It's a weird feeling. Not like a regular day off. That's just a day off. When you wake up and realize that you never have to go back it kind of blows your mind.

At least it did for me. I worked my entire life and the thought of just stopping was so foreign to me. But I got over that really fast. It's all good.

tristan · 04-22-2023, 05:37 AM

Ditto here. Four months into retirement and I love it. I am catching up with years of postponed tasks that I didn't have time to attack when work was getting in my way. If I don't feel like working at them on any given day then I call myself into my office and give myself a reprimand, and then head back to my easy chair and book.

**Palf70Step** · 04-22-2023, 07:30 AM

Although I missed some of the people and my students, best decision I made was to retire. 5 years now and my health is better and still wonder how I did all this stuff I am doing and still worked full time. Congrat 3757chevy

Yeah for you,, now you can do more of what you want to do.. have fun

That is the one and only thing that I miss about work. The people that I worked with and was friends with.

Some other people at work I don't miss at all.

Thanks. I hear you. I told my wife she gets page 2 of the lists of things to do.

Good for you !!
Go to bed every night telling yourself "tomorrow is Saturday"...

It will take a while for the body clock to change habits. Months...years, maybe never. I still wake up at 5:30 am and can't get back to sleep some days....like today, and I retired from my trucking job 10 years ago.

Thanks. Saturdays would be good . We watch our 2 granddaughters every Saturday.

It's just one big weekend from here on out.

I used to wait impatiently for holidays and an extra day off. Now I wonder why I didn't get mail and the bank is closed.

Oh yeah. It's a holiday. Duh!

**Stocker** · 04-22-2023, 02:03 PM

The good -- every day is a holiday!

The bad -- why do it today, there's always tomorrow!

The ugly -- jeez, how did that honey-do list get so long?

**Steeveedee** · 04-22-2023, 02:36 PM

Congrats! Like Lost in the 60s said, it may take awhile to get off the work schedule. It took me about 18 months to spool down from getting up at 4:25 every morning.

**3757chevy** · 04-22-2023, 02:54 PM

Yup! I was awake 5:30 Today. Tried to go back to sleep.

tutone · 04-22-2023, 06:21 PM

Congratulations. It is a good feeling.
At some point, you will absolutely not know what day of the week it is. Or is that just me?
