It is a Monday morning and I would rather be home scale modeling.

I can relate to the thread topic and patrick206's reply.  There are many days I wake up and say to myself, "I'd rather be building." only to have to go to work.  On 02 January 2016, I'll be hanging up my gun belt and parking my cruiser for the last time to start retirement on 03 January after 31 1/2 years in policing.  Time to start thinning out the stash!

 

 

good for you Murph! I have almost finished 27 years on as of now... 4 1/2 more and I'll park my radio car by yours and be done as well. Looking forward to that day.

 

 

I miss the job, I miss the camraderie, I don't miss anything else........

goat - my sentiments exactly.  I'll miss the clowns but I won't miss the circus.

stick and Jeff - well done, boys.  You'll be there before you know it.  I can't believe how fast time has flown by.  It's been a great career.  No regrets whatsoever.  Good luck as you head down the homestretch.

bish - congrats on the old and goof luck with the new.

Bakster - thanks very much.  I appreciate the sentiment.

Congrats Murph.....and Stik your's is right around the corner. For me I have 6 more years and I will be able too spend as much time at the bench as I want!!! Work is definetly one of those things we could do without but then we could not afford to do what we love. I am lucky because I really enjoy my job. I get to see our country from a different point of view.

Bish....congrats on your new job and I wish you well on your new journey

Work has a nasty habit of getting in the way of life.

I retired recently. 35 years on the job. I have been warned by the "Sergeant Major" we are rapidly running out of display space. That's a good thing. 

You are a lucky man. Congrats!

Happily retired after 40 years and 2 months, although I liked my job, I always considered work to be the eternal foe of the dedicated hobbyist.

Yup.
