sarges46 Posted April 4, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 4, 2011 After 23 years and seeing stuff I never thought I would see, I have joined the ranks of the retired! Or at least semi-retired anyway. My job at the jail is done my penence is paid. I will now be a school bus driver for fun...that means summers off, holidays off...no more shift work, no more missed birthdays, Christmas' or other special events. Its a bit surreal right now as I just woke up after working my last night shift ever! The wheels on the bus go round and round lmao! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyR Posted April 4, 2011 Share #6 Posted April 4, 2011 retirement isn't all its cracked up to be. for example, this afternoon I have to decide on whether or not to finish planting my garden, or take a motorcycle ride. Oh the stress I have to go thru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilvrT Posted April 4, 2011 Share #10 Posted April 4, 2011 Congrats on your "semi" retirement. I'm looking at 3 more years of this "torture" LOL and after that I expect I'll be doing some off-site consulting work for the same company. Nina & I are planning a year-long motorcycle tour of Canada & USA before we decide where to park our butts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcarl Posted April 5, 2011 Share #21 Posted April 5, 2011 Retirement ain't all it's cracked up to be,,,,, everybody thinks that since you have nothing to do, they had better bring you something to keep you busy,,,,,( now if you're married and have a wife,,, you have no life,, not really that just rhymed so I threw it in). Why just the other day I had to work on 3 scooters, and I didn't even get to touch my own. What a life, look forward to it, every day is a new one. Congrats and blessings with the kids,,,,,,,YA!!!

Mikealiasmike Posted April 5, 2011 Share #23 Posted April 5, 2011 I hate you, hate hate hate you. and how does your bride feel about still having to walk the beat while your relaxing at home? Poor woman. Did I happen to mention I don't like you? Beyond all that, Congrats Rick, you can now allow your blood pressure to drop to some resemblance of normal. God Bless.
