    Strange isn't it. I used to be like that. Now that I am retired I never
    get days like that. I used to laugh at my father when he was retired and
    said that he didn't know how he ever had time to go to work but now I know
    that he was absolutely right.

    My days are taken up by other people's arrangements: the school where I am a
    governor, the club I have joined, friends and relatives whose PCs need
    attention, grandson when his childminder is on holiday, people to visit,
    jobs around the house - there is no end to it.

    Hi,
    To be honnest, I live alone and in my company we usually have to take 3
    weeks between May and September. My boss is omprehensive enough to allow me
    to split these weeks into a 3x1 scheme. So I'd like to sincerely thank my
    boss once again - credits go where credits due, huh ?
    It seems to be the same story everywhere. It is the case with all the
    retired guys I know, even my father (retired since late last year). Retired
    men always are in a hurry :)

    Regards,

    Retired men are always in a hurry because once they have retired they want
    to do all the things they didn't have time for when they were working, and
    then they find that having retired they still haven't got time to do all the
    things they wanted to do when they were working. Being 75 years old I have
    grave doubts that I will ever manage to do all those things. But it's good
    trying.
