As of today, I am exactly three months from retiring.
I wish I could say I had mixed feelings about that. I don't. I don't feel much of anything about it. In fact, that information is pretty meaningless at this point.
Except when it comes to how I work, because that is real time.
I am slacking. I am not ashamed or feeling bad about it, but there is no need for me to do career-oriented, career-advancing things. I don't need to take online classes (I have taken all the annual required classes due before my retirement day, there are no more of those).
I did my annual self-appraisal in 2 minutes, by copying last year's and just updating the 'example' projects I'd used. And I noted in it, under the 'Areas needing attention/improvement' that I would retire before they could be addressed.
I've also completely given up trying to be punctual. Where in this past year, I've paid minimal attention to punctuality, now I'm paying none at all.
In my mind, it's like visualizing: I'm living now, to a great degree, how I expect to be living after I retire, even though that makes me a slightly worse employee.
Before you think of this negatively, you have to realize that I am getting 100% of my work done.
Nothing extra, but all of it.
I think that's pretty good.
Good enough for now.

No feelings at all?
ReplyDeleteWell, not really. After years of anticipation, now that it is looming, I find myself rather dispassionately thinking about my retirement as something to deal with when it comes. I quite literally have no post-retirement plans right now. Every once in a while, something comes up at work, like today, when I was requested to update my development self-appraisal and plan for 2016, and realized I could ignore it, because, well, it is irrelevant. Work continues to go on exactly as it has and likely will be (everybody in my former department (now obliterated except for me and one other) and my current management team knows I'm a short-timer. Expectations are low. And I, too, have no expectations. I won't pass this way again.
