I finished up the project I was on in December. No new work so paid off.
Too early to retire but wanted to at least use up my long service leave. 35 years and been paid out 3 times. I reckoned I had at least 9 months owing.
Lots of jobs to do around the house
So..
New pool fence - tick
Bathroom reno - tick
Bits and pieces of painting - tick
Hang curtains - tick
A week and a bit into the shed refurbishment when I'm climbing around on the new roof screwing it down and I get a phone call. Come for an interview. I give them a reasonably large number. They accept.
Put the tools away. Smoko's over. Back on your head
