The drama of losing a job

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

This is very sound advice, I was fortunate that my mindset from an early age was that work is a necessity for an
agreeable lifestyle, but not the hub of who I am. When answering a drafted Manager who was dealing with my
redundancy where I'd worked for 26 years how long I'd been there, she admitted that she'd only known me for
the twenty minutes of the interview.

Cruel...? possibly. But a simple reality that I thanked her for. The business didn't revolve around me and visa-versa.

I think the beauty of retirement is when you work because you want to, not because you have to.

It is even nicer when the people that sign your paycheck know it.
