Ever heard of friends happily retired going back to work?
On one hand, one gets used to not minding the days, the dates, and the time of day. Holidays become irrelevant, and the retiree is even amused at office workers planning long weekends, Christmas and summer breaks. He doesn't have to plan - - - he can do anything anytime, whenever he pleases.
On the other hand, boredom could set in. The DVDs have all been viewed, the books re-read, and the travel destinations seem to be so repetitive. Oh yes, there are gems discovered here and there. But there is also some longing for banter with clients, friends, and even with competitors.
And sometimes the balance tils in favor of doing something routine again. Yes, back to work. Un-retired.
