The standard question that arises whenever I let any of my work colleagues know about my impending retirement is "so, what are you going to do next?", expecting the answer to involve some kind of continuation of my current work (part time consultancy or some such) or embarking on another bout of paid employment. Apart from a few notable exceptions, they seem to have difficulty adjusting to the fact that, come the magic day, I want to run as far away from my current employment world as possible. I also have some trouble in explaining quite why that is the case.
Fear not though, because, as ever, Dilbert manages to encapsulate my thoughts far more succinctly (and way more humorously) than I ever could....
(Also - please note that I've added a "follow by email" widget thing over there to the right of this column, so, if you feel so inclined, you can get electronically prodded whenever I add anything).
