Title: Guess who's retiring?
Post by: malthumb on February 03, 2017, 04:28:16 PM: This guy!

(https://www.talkbass.com/media/bass-and-vocals.1173/full)[/size]Well, sorta.....[/size]After 38 years, I am retiring from General Motors, effective March 31st. But I have enough vacation time this year that my last day in the office will be Feb. 17th. Exactly two weeks from today.I say "Well, sorta" because I will still be working in the auto industry, but more as a consultant as opposed to the managerial positions I've held for the past 20 some odd years.This means I'll have to turn in the company car. But I have already covered that base....I put one of these in my garage Monday...This specific one was awarded to the World Series MVP. I had to pay $$ for mine

Who will probably never get the opportunity to retire.

Post by: malthumb on February 11, 2017, 12:07:06 PM: Hobbies other than music? Golf, cycling, getting on my wife's nerves. That pretty much covers it. I'll be fairly busy doing consulting in the industry. Also considering teaching a class in a local community college.

Post by: keith_h on February 11, 2017, 05:14:34 PM: Keeping a job on the side is a good idea. Even though I have retired neighbors I socialize with it is not the same as the socialization I had and miss somewhat through work. It is not something you usually think about if you are retiring at an early age like I did.
