Sad that they never got to enjoy retirement.
I'm not meaning to sound sarcastic it's up to each person individually every one has different circumstances and goals. I couldn't wait to retire.
To me it 's almost sad that these guys don't have anything outside the plant to look forward too.
But, hey if he's happy who am I to tell them different.
thats usually what seems to happen, the job is what keeps them going and they feel like they are doing something with their life. i feel like im going to be the same way, i took a week off of work a few months ago trying to use up vacation days as i thought i was switching jobs and did everything around the house that needed to be done in a few days and just went stir crazy

also most people i know who have retired just sit around and gain weight. my dad has been retired for a few years and so far he's been going on vacation every month doing all sort of fun stuff, blowing my inheritance as fast as he can
