Is it time to retire?

[Canfordhacker]

I retire two weeks from today. Just cleaning up odds and sods and interviewing potential successors with my boss. Can't wait!

Semi retirement is a good idea too....... been a member of Newport of 12 years, have never been able to enter a knockout comp as worked away most of the time. Until now!! Name down!!

Bad call, you end up doing the same work in a shorter time.

Till the meeting your boss has scheduled doesn't coincide with your days off. And then there's the 3 month project you know will run to 6 months, inc. project support. Great idea, and I hope it works for you, but the ongoing "can you.." has only just stopped 3 years later.

I sold my business assets and retired, got fed up after 6 months and took a part time job. That's now turned into a £7m development and about 3 years more part time work but, to be honest, I still get the buzz!

I managed to relinquish some of my responsibilities thankfully. Contract ends on 30th September... not going beyond that in any guise. Mind you a decent hike in day rate might get me continuing through the winter But only 3 days a week
