I’m envious of the idea of retirement.

That won’t happen for me. I’ll die working

Having just gone through a QLD election I can see the exact same pattern happening in victoria in regards to crime reporting . In QLD the crime especially youth crime was being ramped up to an absolute fever pitch closer to the election. Same thing seems to be happening in Vic. No one is saying it isnt an issue but I note the repporting has escalated . Funny how in QLD it has sort of stopped after the election, the crimes are still happening just as much despite the adult crime adult time laws in QLD but the reporting has sigificantly de escalted since the election

I dunno…There’s a part of me that kind of likes the idea of me being a dignified elder statesman doing my stuff at seventy.

I reckon you’ll be insufferable at 70. You’ll have so much more time to spend on here, dripping with sarcasm and stirring up the masses.

Not like now of course…

I’ll keep my seven shifts per fortnight.
I think I can do that at seventy.

Just think of the next generation of Alex and wobs and SMJ’s I can pointlessly engage with, though…

Edit: yikes…I started here 24 years ago.
BT before that.
struggles with maths
It’s…16 years ‘til I’m seventy.

Oh I like work.

I just don’t like the inevitable being old. Hopefully I have the marbles to be able to do work.

I’m still here.

Have worked one year full time in the last 30. Officially retiring at the end of this month. I’ll work a couple of days a week for amusement.

OTOH the band won’t let me retire. Playing next week at the Bells Beach Brewing Co

I haven’t worked for almost three years now…and I have not missed it at all.

July 2016 for me…and ditto.

Yeah I’m mid career and definetly won’t have the money.

I was told that retiring from the workplace would be wonderful. They undersold it.

Happy to share drop kicks of the Anglo variety to @barnz @Loflyer just no machete this time

Fair tackle made by the fuzz but worth 3-4 weeks for an intensional sling if done on field

At the bar in G Town, or down in Torquay?

I’ve got 13 more years of work. Then President of the Essendon football club.

When the real work begins. 13 years seems a walk in the park to wait for a GF these days, I look forward to your immediate success
