re: Do any retirees “miss” work?

Doesn't sound like you will miss work.

I won't either. I'm about to retire next month myself so I'm fixing to find out. Like you I'm not the most engaging person at work. I'm not a cube/office hanger. When we were in the office, few people stopped by just to talk.

I did have the good fortune to work for a large co that has been on Fortune's top companies to work for many years, so I'm leaving a great place. And I will hang with a few co-workers that I have hobbies in common with (cars, music, shooting, etc.). But I've asked for no farewell event (been there 12 years).

I won't miss the work as I have plenty to do here around the farm. And I'm gonna forget about it quickly this summer when I drive out west in my Jeep.

Enjoy your time off.
