A Wee Dram or Three

Job or No Job? That is the Question!!

Today marks the penultimate day of the contract between Company "A" and Company "B".

We still have not been told "officially"

Also, I am still waiting to hear the result of my application to continue working after retirement age.

That is two weeks from now!!

I'm not sure I want to carry on working for a Company who treats it's employees like mushrooms!!

After all, employees are the Company's greatest asset....without them there would be no Company!!!!

Ah! well....maybe I will win the Lottery...............................

Retirement Review

I received a phone call today from my boss.  I am invited to attend a meeting next Tuesday to review my retirement options.

The official date for my retirement is Friday 1st August.  I can then stop working and try to exist on the meagre State Pension.

Or...I could, providing the Company agrees, continue working.

Pros:   State pension is deferred and accrues interest.
           My tax free allowance rises from £5000 pa to £9000 pa
           I stop paying National Insurance which, at the moment is 11% of taxable earnings.

Cons:  I have to get up and go to work.

I am definitely not yet ready for pipe and slippers and rocking chair on the porch!!

I will let you know the outcome next Tuesday..

Right now I am gonna have the last couple of drams of Bruichladdich, it's a fine whisky and has lasted well.

I still have a couple of drams of Dalwhinnie and around half a bottle of Laphroaig plus I just bought a bottle of Balvenie Double cask.

42 Days.............

7 weeks......

42 days.......

1008 hrs.....

60480 mins.......

3628800 secs.......

Then I will be officially *OLD*..........Senior Citizen.......Pensioner...........

Instead of  Eat, Sleep, Work, I can miss the last four letter word!!!!

Now then...... where did I put my pipe and slippers?????

Business as Usual......Hopefully!!

Well...I'm about to start getting ready for my first day back at work.

Guess I'll find out if my leave was sanctioned!!

Might even find out about my next leave which I requested for 14 May...not holding my breath on that one!
