No more long weekends

Ray,

I bet this is going to be a long night for you.

Tomorrow will be the first day of the extra long weekend, enjoy.

I bet you will find so much to do that you will wounder how you got all done before and had a job as well.

Ray, it's great at first. Then you realize that the bills are the only thing in your mailbox :(( After a few years there are some mornings when you really have to find a reason to get up ! Then there are the flashbacks to work situations that happened a long time ago.
But mate, enjoy your freedom. It sure beats the heck out of being a wage slave :)

Congratulations Ray . It's a wonderful feeling on Sunday night knowing that you don't have to get up and go to work on Monday .

I guess the perfect world would be where you could work for two or three days a week and take holidays for as long and as often as you want .

Then you would still value your spare time . I find myself often falling into the " I'll do it tomorrow " syndrome - that is a big problem for me .

Have a great long weakend ,

Willie .

Enjoy ............... I got 6 years to go unless i will tatslotto

congrats Ray & half your your luck. I tried to get away with it last year, i am only 56 but family had to come first .oh well enjoy it all & the best in health. bob.

Going to be the best time of your life.

Good onya Ray,
I am fortunate at 57 to have a job which takes me away for up to six week and have then the same amount of time off and being paid a basic retainer. I am currently freezing my nuts off in the Gobi Desert in Mongolia (-25C plus windchill). When I come back home we are packing the Patrol up and driving to Sydney and then on the ferry to Devonport for a well deserved break in beautiful Tassie. This is for us semi retirement.
Cheers, Graeme
