The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

I can afford to snooze, so I do. Just as well cos the co codamok leave me feeling drained all the time.

I know we've been over this before, but it's still an odd definition of 'voluntary' if the work is paid for.

 

[Drago]

Is being self employed and paid for your endeavours 'voluntary', or simply working?

Cocodamol is nasty stuff.
Had it prescribed once for back pain. Took 4 tablets over a day, as prescribed. Never again! Had to go home from w**k as I was so spaced out and didn't have a 'movement' for 3 days. I preferred the pain and a good dump.

I like Cocodamol, it doesn't give me the blockage problems others complain of, but it does give me an excellent sleep. I have some left from an old prescription ( for a bad shoulder as it happens) and now and again treat myself to one at bedtime, makes me a bit groggy the next day though.

 

[Drago]

Co-codamol dreams are nice.

Certainly does not feel like work, so it cannot be work.

 

[Drago]

Are you exchanging your time for money? If so, its work.

Cutting your lawn is work, so what is the difference. Difference being most people do not enjoy cutting the lawn but I enjoy fiixing dents etc. so by the fact I am not going to work. Simples.

 

[Drago]

That you may enjoy it is neither here nor there - its still work.

I've got a job interview tomorrow, just a part time job to pass the time. I don't need the money, doing it for reasons other than financial, its still work.

If you get the job maybe you should start a semi retired thread

Cutting your lawn is work.....

Only in the Newtonian sense.....

As in what goes up must come down?

Here is a thought, some people get paid for cutting grass so that makes it a job according to Drago.

 

[Drago]

It would do if you're being paid for it. Cutting my own grass is a chore, not work.

 

[Dirk]

No.
As in Force x Distance.

As in Voyager...
