I won't evee retire. I mean right now I work in retail getting paid less than mu Best Buy job.
I don't know my future and it's scary. It seems that retail is better for me emotoinally/mentally than the office jobs but I don't think I'm cut out to be a supervisor. When i worked in an office it was so hard to have anything leftover for life.
It's frustrating amd scary thinking about the future.
Retire?
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA
Ahem, uh yeah, I don't see that happening for me.
Askye do you have benefits with your job?
Preeety sure that retirement is not going to be an option for me, because Pete is a freelance artist.
Tim's brothers and SiLs (all in their early to mid-50s) are looking ahead to retirement, and Tim and I are both like "Well, I'll be working right up until the morning of my funeral, so."
OTOH, my mother is incapable of slowing down, and was officially retired for about 2 nanoseconds. Then she got bored and got a part-time job that expanded into a 3/4-time and sometimes full-time job AND she took a year-long course to get certified to teach yoga and then opened a yoga studio in her basement AND teaches yoga at other locations. The woman is 71 years old and had major heart surgery 6 months ago. She is a dynamo.
My dad is *finally* retired, but it took moving in with his ladylove and selling the house he and my mom lived in. I was completely supportive of both of those things.
I've told y'all about my dad's idea of retirement ("I'm not retiring! I'm just going to... not go to my job any more so I can go to law school instead!").
Meanwhile, mum says "Oh, I might pick up some part-time job when I run out of things to do in my retirement. In NYC. So probably never."
My parents retired a few years ago, and I am *so* jealous.
ION, self-care, I am learning! I'm going out with dad this afternoon, so we can do our traditional holiday shopping extravaganza. I was going to immediately going to get back to work as soon as I got home this evening to make up the time. Instead I decided that I have the vacation time stockpiled, and I should take some time to goddamn relax, like my boss keeps telling me to do. Go me?
