Do you love big bluegill?

Retirement

Only 2 1/2 weeks untill retirement and I'm a little scared. Have worked ever since I was in high school. I cannot imagine not having to get up with the alarm clock. 35 years with the Army civilian work force. Have thought about this all my life but now it is a reality in which the concept of being a fishing Bumm is real close and I don't really know if I can handle the off time...What do you guys and gals think....I think YYYAAAAHHHHOOOOOOOO I'm as free as Bluegill junkie can be...have a trip planned as soon as I get outta here..Maybe a trip up north or south maybe to the east or out west...Now that could be a problem.......LOLRITF

Trust me, you'll get used to the freedom of retirement real fast. Then, after a bit, you will probably be so busy doing things you'll wonder how you ever had time to work, raise kids, do yard work, whatever.

Just enjoy it, and congrats!

Yeah Vic, I've got 3 or 4 more years to go, and I have some concerns too. For one thing, I don't want to be a "Wal Mart Greeter", but the way the economy is, who knows what I'll end up doing. I do know one thing.... I hate getting up at 5:30 in the morning and then work 10 hour shifts!

Amen to that. Get up when you want, do what you want, do it anytime you want. Hope it works out for you.
