Early Retirement
I’m thinking of retiring. I’ve got 28 years to go, and quite frankly, it’s 27 years 11 months and 3 weeks too long. I’ve worked for 17 years, and I think that’s reasonable. It’s not that I don’t like my job, and I’ve certainly got lots of lovely memories. I think I’ve made a difference to a few lives, even though I struggled to make Wingy understand that the case about the boy who drowned doing the doggy paddle wasn’t actually about dogs. I treasured the blu-tak Christmas tree angel that Badders made me for many years. But now, I’ve got other things I’d like to do. I need to paid for this retiring though. It would be a good investment to the nation. If I retired, I would… · Walk my child to school and back every day. No petrol fumes! · Volunteer at school. Qualified teacher – free labour. · Be able to go to all these school things and not inconvenience my hardworking Mother, and Daughter
