You been caught at Big Dog Boris's birthday π€¨ Steve If I had been Iβd make sure a criminal investigation took place that would bury any internal investigation and consequent report, however youβd have to be a right sneaky wet bastid to do that.

Ok, here goes
I've had it with work π
I've had to listen to a Google meeting for an hour, drive an hour to spend an hour servicing a customer, had lunch, drove to second customer to find the place closed down last year
Now got to drive home then listen to another 30 minute meeting π€
I've worked from 17 to 53, is that not enough π
Just one of those days. Easy but can't be arsed
Better things to be doing π
Steve

67? Wishful thinking. The retirement age will be increased in the month before I'm 67.... I guarantee it...ffs The money to pay for the clusterf^^ck will have to be found from somewhere. Unless they find the orchard of money trees.

All this talk of the rat race reminded me of this song from many of our youths.
Ok, yes its not about work, its about students, but these lines always stuck with me... even if i did it for years like most of us do...
"Working for the rat race You know you're wasting your time You're working for the rat race"

I am 57 this week, originally retired when I was 45, but then started doing my bikes again and look at me now, back doing bikes full time 60+hr weeks with a fully equipped workshop with over Β£100k invested in equipment etc, still I do have an awesome workshop for doing all my projects - FFS - just remembered, not done any yet as too busy doing everyone elses - FFS twice !
I am drawing my personal pension this year to ease my working hours, no point having a pension if you aren't going to use it, was going to leave it alone until I was 60, but then I realised I'd be 92 before my money in the pension pot ran out - FFS why aren't I drawing it now was my thought !
So this year its all about getting the workload down, turning jobs around quicker for people, having 2 days a week dedicated to dyno work and doing more of my own projects - thats the plan anyway !

Don't forget you'll get state pension too, then you have even more money to worry about FFS possibly LTA as well.

I'll still be pissing about with bikes then anyway ! - probably just about getting round to working on my own projects by then

Now that's a "retirement" that some folks dream about... Brilliant!!!! (Apart from the hundreds of emails, countless phone calls, vat man, not enough hours in the day, house moves, loads of invested monies, people mithering "is it finished yet" ? for the tenth time, the list goes on and on..... Fook that......I'd sooner be working till I'm ***king 90!! At least at 60hrs a week it's only part time.......... GET AN APPRENTICE!!!
