Why put off til tomorrow

What you can put off til next week

Why put off 'til tomorrow*

Something you can put off doing all together

*It's always Today, never Tomorrow though!

 

[screenman]

I prefer do not put off to tomorrow that which you can do today.

I'm hoping to retire sometime in the next couple of years, aged mid 50's.

From talking with people who have retired relatively early and in decent health, they seem to fall into one of two categories:

• Those who are so busy they can't understand how they used to do a full time job as well.
• Those who got bored very quickly and more often than not ended up back in some sort of employment within a few months.

Having had 6 months of unemployment a few years ago I'm fairly certain I'll fall into the first category.

@Drago - a mate who retired from the police early fell into the 2nd category and is now a truant officer* for the local council, which he really enjoys and gets to meet many of his old "customers" Incidentally, my Grandad, who retired from the police in the '50s did something very similar.

*I'm sure the official title is something else, but you know what I mean.

48?! From your posts I'd always assumed you were in your eighties

 

[swee'pea99]

Just kidding.

 

[Drago]

I might go for a part time job, nothing full time. I'm done with work as a means to stay alive.

Why don't you take drugs and stay up all night, you can sleep in the day then. All your problems are solved.

Just don't sleep, better all round.

He's not in the polis any more, he retired. Try to keep up.

Have you thought about asking Shaun if you could become a moderator?

 

[Dave 123]

Woukd you be Patrick Swayze or @Drago ?

I'd be Demi Moore, and I'd stay in a lot, by my self.

 

[EltonFrog]

The trouble I have found with doing nothing all day is, that you never know when you have finished.

Funnily enough, no I haven't. And I won't be.

 

[Bollo]

Funnily enough, no I haven't. And I won't be.

My suggestion was not entirely sincere.
