VERY good and very funny. I like !!!When I retired, I thought I'd take a couple months off, then find something part time. After those couple months I decided I like having nothing to do. Yesterday, I had nothing to do, but I didn't finish, so I'm doing nothing again today.
That is funny. Its what I do.When I retired, I thought I'd take a couple months off, then find something part time. After those couple months I decided I like having nothing to do. Yesterday, I had nothing to do, but I didn't finish, so I'm doing nothing again today.
Congratulations man you deserve it .l retired 13 mo ago after 40 in the business 32 with cc x Conway xpo always said I was going to work , after 13 months I dont know how I had time to work. Don't rush into anything enjoy your time you earned it.
Do these drivers schedule their naps to coincide with their lunch break, or are they just pulling over to catch a few zz’s hoping management won’t notice the lack of the movement of their vehicle,( with gps ), ? Maybe you should ask these napping drivers what their trick is to pulling off napping while working. Then you’d be in the know and be enabled to take a nap while working and not have to retire and schedule napping like us retirees do. LOLPeople that haven't retired schedule naps. Hell drivers I work with schedule naps everyday! I must make bad choices because I can't arrange a nap everyday. I can't sleep at work. Maybe I should retire?
Thx man
When I would pull up to a customer and all the dock doors were busy I would text management and say “delay here at such and such a customer three trucks ahead will keep you advised“. Yeah, I can see how that would work to grab a nap.
You like this thread cause it’s ‘The Retirement Thread’ and of course you’re retired.. me too that’s why I like it also.
no scores to settle, I gave trying to get what I wanted from this company years ago.
Now see I have a plan to do something every day. Some days I am done in 5 minutes, sometimes it takes all day somedays it's just chasing grandkids. But it's what I want to do and at my speed which is not real fast.you are right though retirement is the best.
I got a peice of paper with how many years of service. That's it. I shredded that.
10-4 on that driver, or should I say retired driver ?
I’m gonna go back on 11/06/19 to my barn for my xpo retirement recognition deal. I want to hear it from management that I was one of their best horses that pulled my work load at this facility without too much complaining nor whining.I want to have a last opportunity to say goodbye to some of my long time dsr colleagues that I will miss. I want to publicly praise, acknowledge, and thank my wife for her endurance of my long days at work away from home over my career. I want to take a last look at the building that I have worked in with 3 different trucking companies over the stretch of 34 years.
I was asked by the outbound foreman the day before my last shift if I wanted to due anything special.
Try this trick: Jot down a few ‘things to do’ the night before, but always have a few more in mind that you KNOW you’ll complete. But DON’T write those down. As you complete those chores, write them down and cross them off at the SAME TIME! When the wife gets home, you have this HUGE list of completed chores! Deceiving? Maybe. Effective? Definitely!!
Well-said, VP. I like the ‘quick & quiet’ exit strategy as well. My exit from work and entry into retirement was quick, but by no means quiet. Several issues had been simmering (one, in particular) for quite some time. Despite my effort to point out the differences in how seniority was recognized before and after I obtained said seniority (union shop), and the complete and utter failure of our ‘shop steward’ (in name only) to advance ANY grievances we had, I hung it up rather abruptly.
