Whatever is coming, and in whatever form(s), it cannot be stopped, and there is no escaping. Aren't human beings wonderful creatures?

The best part is NOT having to get up at 5:30 in the morning. When I retired I decided I'd not do that again. I stay in bed until seven. And if by some unfortunate circumstance I wake up before seven, I lie in bed until seven as a matter of principle!

Re: World ending soon. No more need for retirement planning!
I'd love the additional freedom, but... my employer is always very nice to me, our customers want to work with me (arguably despite my quirky personality), I have remarkably flexible hours, they pay me well, and sometimes (not always, but often enough) the technical work I do is very interesting/satisfying. Other people at the company have concluded that I love my job and they are at least mostly right. Some of the younger staff openly dream of someday having a job/position like the one I now have. So this is all a big ego boost -- which is not necessarily a good thing from a mental health perspective, for it can even be a bit like... an addictive drug? Basically, it's all about fame. Yes, my friends, I'm actually "famous" in a sense, but only within an amazingly-small (no exaggeration) and highly-specialized technical sub-sub-community of antenna researchers. I've grown into a big fish in a tiny, tiny pond. And ultimately, this makes it much tougher to ever retire. Because when I do, that "fame" I now enjoy will vanish so rapidly that I may begin to doubt that I ever experienced it.

0530 is my default get-out-of-bed time, but I'm usually up earlier and observing if it's clear outside.
I believe they're calling staying in bed after fully waking up "hurkle durkle" now.
Man... That's some icky-tasting stuff!

Ok, I want one! But I'll need to keep working to afford that. And then I'll be too old to fly it. Argh...Lady Fraktor wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 4:37 am Your flying car is waiting in Slovakia, we get bored easily and think of different things to do.
