One disappointment about retirement

I have found one disappointment since retiring I MISS OUT ON ALL THE PUBLIC HOLIDAYS I use to look forward to having a day off work :D

But isn't everyday a holiday.

No more worrying which day it is just getting up and doing your own thing.

You need a job. :D

I used to enjoy public holidays: The roads were virtually empty on the way to and from work and the phone didn't ring which meant I could get plenty of work done.

Holidays are only for people with unfulfilling jobs and no drive.

WW, I am going to partake in my very own Australia day tradition, I have a fully restored Victa Super18 in the shed it was made the same year I was born, every Australia Day I get it out and dust it off and cut the front lawn with it then it goes away until next Australia day some people fly the flag I salute an Aussie Icon. :D:D:D

It depends on what kind of job you have. If you have one that has set tasks to complete on a weekly or monthly basis then public holidays are not really holidays as you just have to make up the work on the other days.

Been there and done that it is boring

I've got my target date set for my retirement and it's 74 weeks and 2 days away - not that I'm counting or anything!

I'm really looking forward to missing out on public holidays.

I've been retired since I was 55 years old ,now 71,don't miss work one bit, only beef I've got is bl...y school holidays.I used to live in Kiama then holiday time was a pia ,had to kick tourists out of the way to get to the shops:D

B****y Hell,:~ since retiring, I have never been busier. The to-do list keeps getting longer with house reno, one job leads to another and not much time for woodturning.

I was forced into semi-retirement and would love to be back in the real work force;
and yes, looking forward to public holidays........cheers, crowie
