Is it ok if I'm turning into a bum being retired???
It's day 14 of my retirement, and I'm a little nervous about becoming a lazy bum, is that wrong??

1. Yes. It is wrong to be nervous about it.

2. Here's hoping you enjoy it for years! I've been retired...
since before 2000 and I'm a shameless couch potato. ;-)

3. Thanks OhioSmith and BikeWriter......
needed that.....was always pretty good at goofing off, so I shouldn't always feel like I should be doing something "productive" right?

7. Face it friend
You have a sacred duty to now be a lazy bum, for all of us working stiffs who still have to do the daily grind. Enjoy it, that's an order:evilgrin:

11. Only 23 years of Civil Service here.
Yes, at times I feel guilty about being a couch potato, but luckily I forget easily.

Enjoy your retirement, I am! :bounce:

10. Yes it is.
32 years as a civil servant - jeez. Man, relax, become a burden on society and a bad example, just don't get fat.
