I retired last night after 37 plus years working at UPS. I am now ready for life without labor. I just hope I'm not too bored.

Congrats. 6 years for me now and no regrets what so ever. You have to work pretty hard to be bored in this day and age with everything that is available in the way of activities. You'll figure it out in no time. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

Good for you. As long as you have your health, you will enjoy retirement. I've yet to be bored. As a matter of fact it seems hard for me to make a dent in my to-do list, let alone the informal bucket list. Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves. -D.H. Lawrence | |||

I've discovered that doing nothing is what I am best at, except I can't tell when I am finished. Then too, sometimes it is hard to say whether I'm actually doing nothing or merely procrastinating. "The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity." Dorothy Parker Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Congratulations! I retired seven weeks ago today, after working various jobs since I went into the U.S. Army a little over 46 years ago. The last one for just shy of 32 years.
I haven't been, yet  The neat thing is that most of the stuff I have on my plate I get to decide when and how to do. And take my own damn sweet time doing it, if I'm so-inclined. "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system,,,, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe "If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living." -- Seneca the Younger, Roman Stoic philosopher | |||

In retirement, there are things to watch out for. The worst and most dangerous are people who feel they need to find things for you to do. Ignore them, they don't have your best interests in mind. Be very watchful of those who profess to have your best interests in mind. They are dangerous and just want someone to do their dirty jobs. The best answer I've found is to say "I'm just not quite ready to do that yet". Then hold your ground. When someone asks what you think you're going to do today, tell them "nothing". When they point out it was what you did yesterday, tell them you weren't finished yet. When they get upset and just plan things for you to do, give them a tiny glimpse of hope, then wander off and do as you please. Wives are the worst offenders. They'll plan all kinds of active and boring things, some expensive. Let them plan all they want. Its good for them. But don't go along with their ideas. Just do as you please. If questioned about it with stuff like "I thought we were going to something", dash their hopes by pointing out you hadn't agreed to it. Let me give you another hint. People who think they're doing good usually aren't. Doing nothing has its own rewards. Its also usually cheap. Unhappy ammo seeker | |||

Congrats! I had no desire to retire until about 3 months before I did so. Then I could hardly bear those 3 months. Serious about crackers | |||
