Behavior in the business world.  Especially when it is rewarded.  My head is about to explode I’m so mad right now.  The good news is my manager called me with news and is just as mad, or madder, than I am.  Fuck dishonest people that don’t follow the established rules!

Man, I'm so glad I'm finally retired.

I am counting down my 4 years from December.

I guess I'm not the only person who is ready to hang it up. I'm ready, but several other things ain't quite ready, just yet. I'm working on that, though. Choppin' wood, as Kirby says. Still got some choppin' to do. But... if I absolutely had to go right now, the Good Lord would take care of us and we'd be just fine. We'd make it one way or another.

I’m ready, but unfortunately I’m about 12 years out from it being possible.  Tough row to hoe until then.

I'm in that difficult spot of being aaaaaaaalmost ready... but still not yet ready. It just makes the agony worse. It makes you start thinking of how if you did this or if you did that, make ends meet, get some side gig, etc., if you went right now. But my inner wisdom knows I should try to wait another year or two (two is more like it.. even three, if that is somehow possible).

Had to put up with all that for 41 years working with the Govt.
