As many now no I quit my big management consultancy job and left the firm on 31st Janurary. Although I have a job to go to, about which I'm extremely excited, its weird giving up a job of almost 8 years and being in a state where you're officially unemployed!
As someone who has always advocated that retirement at an early age would lead to extreme bordem, I can now say, with great certaintity that I have changed my view dramatically.
This is a typical day
- get up early as the other half had to go to work
- help make breakfast, drive to ferry terminal if raining
- do quick bit of shopping whilst the rest of the world is either still in slumber or in process of commtting
- swim the length of manly beach... in training for ocean swimming, should be doing more
- get home, catch up on daily news, make own breakfast, with time to have lots of fruit or more elaborate multi-herbed eggs.
- off to driving range to try and master the art of sticks and balls, 100 of them, but sure they're giving me duds - they never go straight
- down to the surf if there is any, almost standing up consistantly
- back for a spot of lunch, read, basically get out of the sun in the midday heat
- after paper, bit of music, few emails, head to the beach for a spot of volleyball. luckily my partner on court is also unemployed right now, which makes for a good excuse to get some games on the fairly empty courts
- then its time to start the cooking, something i've missed and just never have time for... its been much to the appreciation of Rochelle!... infact she mentioned to a friend that she had no idea what to do with herself when she gets in the door!
its a hard life.... but have to give it up as of monday... the new job starts, getting anxious now....
