Today after 34 years of dispatching police, fire, sheriff and EMS with the last 24 years of it supervising I am retired! Need to buy a gun or something to celebrate!

Congrats,
I did it myself 3 years ago this month and sometimes I still can't believe that I really did make it because it seemed like it would never come. Some days I do actually not know what day it is until I think a bit.

Been retired since 1995 from teaching and busy every day since. I also have to stop sometimes to remind myself just what day it is. Tomorrow I go to work at 7 7:15 Shooting black powder cartridges in .45 Colt and .45 Schofield sixguns. Yes it is work.

Retired 12/2018. Then went back part time and did sub teaching. After 6 months, it dawned on me I didn't like working anymore. My retirement gun was a custom build from Bowen.

After practicing law for 53 years I quit in July 2020. Thus I consider myself as unemployed, but not seeking gainful employment either.

I have enjoyed every single day of retirement! I retired in 2006 after 34 years & during that time I was also a high coach for 13 years, both football & basketball. Sometimes boys basketball, sometimes girls. Had 3 undefeated teams and even today I still run into kids that played for me, now long married with kids of their own. My how times fly, seems like yesterday but I don't miss the work, and the coaching part was lots of fun.

I will miss the people I worked with but won’t miss the nuts calling in. You would not believe some of the crap people call 911 for.

Congrats, it’s always good to hear when someone retires!
But you really need to celebrate by buying yourself at least 2 guns!!

Congratulations! Make sure you cut yourself a little slack as you transition since it often is somewhat challenging after years of working for so many years. I still struggle with the realization that I can actually slow down my pace.

Good for you. I've been retired from Corrections for 12 years. My wife worried that I would miss work, but I've been grinning like a goat in a briar patch since then.
