What do you do for a living? I'm betting that most people around here will say "retired." :-)
Personally, I'm disabled. On a really good day I can do some drawing and painting, but mostly I read. And smoke.

My title is senior construction technician but basically I am a roadway construction inspector and resident engineer. I read plans and make sure all construction efforts are completed according to the plans and specifications. I also keep track of quantities and pay the contractor. Only 15 more years and I can call it quits.

I too am retired/disabled since November 2011. I miss the work and traveling, I had a purpose in life, now not so much.
Now I do some cooking, enjoy my grandchildren when I get to spend time with them. Definitely enjoy smoking my pipes and tobacco’s 👍👍👍

I'm in sales at the family plastics shop, parison blow molding. Quoting and customer service for the most part. The old man is semi retired so my shoulders get broader by the day and most of my workforce will be retiring in the next 5 to 10 years. Its gonna be a transition for sure.

I retired at 55 in 2008. When I'm not smoking cigars and my pipes I work very hard at avoiding work. I have the honor of being president of Standard Tobacco of Pennsylvania which has been very interesting. I'm also a musician. I've been playing guitar since 1964 and piano since 1969. I like to cook and bake for friends. Otherwise, I handle things as they come. Never a dull moment.

I am a 90% retired CPA, having closed my office at the end of 2017. Still doing some work from my home office just to keep my hand in, but even that takes too much time! It does keep my wife happy though.

Retired after 31 years from field operations management for a major oil company. The last 12.5 years I’ve worked as a pastor. I’ll likely retire again in a few years.

After 30 years in the semiconductor business, I now restore airplanes (when I find people fool enough to want me to) and make pipes. Much more relaxed.

I'm a software weenie. I spend my time going to meetings about topics no one should ever care about.
It's dull, but lucrative.
