Keep something on record to watch at 3am, or some crosswords
Enjoy it mate, life’s too short.
Took ill health retirement at the age of 58 last week after being a paramedic for 26 years and being in the ambulance service for 32 years.
I loved the job until I started suffering with PTSD a few yeas ago, but by the time I left I was glad to finish. It felt like a weight has been lifted since I decided to end my career and intend to spend the rest of my time doing what interests me.
I may do some voluntary work or part time work but at the moment I’m in no rush to do anything.
Keep this thread going guys. I retire next June, I’m on 12 months notice, so it’ll be a long haul. My replacement will be announced on Thursday & takeover in January, so I’ll be on wind down from then. I’m going to struggle to make the transition but i guess that’s a well trodden path for many.
P.s. what’s a hoover?
That's a long notice period. The three months I had to work after telling them I was retiring was enough....Three months of them trying to persude me to stay, but they failed.
After retiring I had 5 months of relaxing and doing what I wanted before I started a part time job 16 hours a week and one day volunteering.
Retired in April aged 58. Been averaging 2/3 hours sleep at night for too long and had come close to falling asleep at the wheel too often.
Since retiring my pension pot has fallen back one heck of a lot so may go back to work.
It’s lovely, get up, cup of tea/coffee, shower, get the papers, another cuppa whilst reading the papers, have a think about what needs doing, then realise you can do it tomorrow, make a sandwich for lunch, watch the lunchtime news, perhaps phone/text someone, start preparing tea, eat tea watching the Chase, evening tele, then bed
Great thread this. Good luck, and a long life to those who’ve retired, and those who are about to.You’ve all earned it 👏👏
