I thought I was going to retire last fall. Work got real slow, the bosses were in panic mode, thought they were ready to pull the plug.
But then after the 1st of the year it got busy again, really busy!
So I'm still there. I don't mind the work, but I don't like the pressure. Get further and further behind every day.
But being 66, I really don't want to start a new job, but don't want to be a full time recliner potato either!

If I were to retire, I'm sure they would be calling me daily, which would mean more money should I charge them something in the ball park of what it would cost to bring in someone from the outside. Some of the repairs to the equipment I do would cost them unbelievable amounts of money if they had to call in a factory technician.
That might be something you could consider, do contract labor with them, pick your job, pick you hours, make it worth your while!

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
