that's exactly how i feel, quite often...

The counsellor explained that it was a healthy sign - I was gradually separating from my work identity. She was absolutely right. After I pulled the pin, I had no desire to go back to work. After one year the organisation asked me to come back part-time but I declined. I enjoy being retired too much.
i've always been precocious , but i probably should have waited a *little* bit longer to begin "separating from my work identity"...
