1st day of retirement starts tomorrow

[steelbikerider]

School's out forever! I finally made it out of jr. high after 35 years. What will I do? Hope the rain clears out, I plan to go for a ride.

[dbnm]

Congrats! Enjoy and be safe!

[Spaghetti Legs]

Congrats, you earned it!

Bike ride sounds like a good idea. Or not - linger over your morning coffee, read the entire paper front to back, whatever the hell tickles your fancy!

[warren128]

Congratulations on your retirement! Every day is a weekend for you now. :hello::banana:

Enjoy your afternoon nap.

[LouDeeter]

Get a routine, ride, and add a hobby or too.

[smontanaro]

Congratulations! Welcome to the club. Not sure what Lou was referring to about hobbies. You have a bike. Just get a few more and presto! You've got a hobby...

[Tickdoc]

enjoy the ride!

[Black Dog]

Well done. Now get busy relaxing and chasing your passions.

This time next year I'll be graduating with my MA in American History. I plan on transitioning to adjunct online instructing for the local community college and call that retirement. I'm looking forward to that.

[nortx-Dave]

Congratulations!

When I retired 5 years ago, the first thing I discovered is that you do NOT have to be busy all the time. Take time to enjoy the little things and the big things take care of themselves.

[makoti]

Congrats! Hope to be in the class behind you. 18 months & I really hope to be winding down. Maybe 1-2 days a week, if I still like what I'm doing

[8aaron8]

Congratulations, a celebratory feat for sure.

I can only imagine you have seen the educational pendulum swing a "few" times in all those years.

[old_fat_and_slow]

Congratulations! You made it to the finish line.

Now for fun 24/7! Stay healthy.

[Seramount]

been retired for 4 years.

haven't had any trouble filling the time. riding, swimming, yard work, house projects, lunches with friends, travel...

on the rare days that I feel a little restless or bored, I just recall the misery of commuting in rush hour, attending endless and pointless work meetings, performance reviews, etc etc etc...

enjoy your freedom!

[cmg]

Congrats. Teaching Jr high for any amount of time is accomplishment. enjoy .

Congratulations.

I know for a fact that you deserve mucho happiness and joy for a very long time.

I've taught middle school math for a quarter of a century.

Very few of my teaching friends ever wanted anything to do with middle school students. I thrive in the middle school setting and you must have as well.

Thanks for your years of service.

[Ralph]

Congratulations! Sounds like it's time for you. You'll be fine.

Now that you're retired remember, don't do today what you can put off for tomorrow....:D

[rePhil]

Congrats on receiving a great gift. The gift of time. Enjoy.

[henrypretz]

Congratulations! You have touched many lives 👍🏽

My wife's last day is June 5. Quite the unconventional circumstance in which to step away, not being able to say farewell to her class in person. It's a moment she had anticipated for a long time. Having some issues getting her head around that.

I admire you and her and all those who teach our young people.

[Mr. Squirrel]

dear mr. steel,

Woke up, had a leisurely breakfast while the roads dried up, went on a 40 mile ride
before lunch with temps in the 70's and lower than normal humidity. That's as good as it gets it SE Texas this time of year.

Now I get to start planning my Spring Classics Holy Week trip for spring 2021 or 2022. Life is good.

[Mikej]

Enjoy!!!

[steelbikerider]

Thanks to all for the kind words.

[weisan]

Where exactly are you in SE Texas? :p
