A small milestone as I slowly whittle away the days until retirement: as of today, there are 2,500 days until I can retire.
Fortunately, I will not be at work the bulk of the next 4 weeks, for a variety of reasons (2 trips and a week of training). That will be a nice break from my normal work routine.
But today is a sunny Saturday and I plan on getting the most out of the weekend before my 2 day work week next week.

Yes. I long for it, wait for it, dream about it, hope for it, count down to it. I don’t love … or even like …. my job, in fact, most days I hate my job, and many of the people I work with, so it’s like being in prison for 7 more years, waiting for parole.

I hope that you weather the storm of work for the next seven years. If I recall, I think you work for the state, so you will be looking at a pension from the state when your time comes, correct?

Correct. We both will have good state pensions and benefits when we retire. It’s one of the things that keeps me going back day after day, month after month, year after year.

That’s a plus with working for the state. You can do it…time will pass quicker than you think!

I keep hearing that, but so far, not so much 😕

I hope counting down the days ‘helps’ rather than making the descent more lengthy

It does. I need to see the decrease in time, even if only in tiny increments. It helps me see it as a finite amount of time.
