marking

[lobelia321]

 All this marking. I am so bored. I am now dreaming of early retirement every single day. I have decided to go at age 65 (2 days before UK statutory pension age). This entails a loss of income which is also making me nervous. But not nervous enough to keep going. Not that I've told anyone yet.

Where is my wizened Lobelia Sackville-Baggins icon? Languishing somewhere over in LJ, I guess.

Pazhal'sta.

Wow, transliterating on the fly is hard.

[princessofgeeks]

actually as I read again, do you mean Spasiba?????

Why 2 days before?

I effectively retired last year, after AI ate my professional niche.

[lazulus]

I assume she means 2 years as the age you get your state pension here is 67. x

I do mean two YEARS. Two days, how absurd. My brain is ADDLED.

[princessofgeeks]

OK I was wondering that too.

My brain was addled. Obvs not two DAYS before but two YEARS before. How are you managing financially?

Ed's still working for the moment, but we have saved a lot and lived very frugally, not buying new cars or taking big vacations, so we are OK.

So glad if retirement worked out for you; I may have missed that as last year was a complete shitshow for me, topped only by the shitshow that was 2024.
