Well I used to teach children to speak weird foreign languages and kill each other (army cadets). Now when I'm not doing housework while Mrs PM watches TV and plays with Facebook, I do archaeology for free and run conferences for money (sitting in swish hotels drinking coffee, eating, doing the crossword and (downside) being nice to people). Some spare time would be nice. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

I was an Electrical Building Services design engineer and loved working up until I was 72 and only finished then as the MD had taken on a guy to work in parallel with me as I had informed him that I was going to finish when I was 75 (Which was fair enough as you have to have some continuity) but when the pillock started sending me emails from the other side of our open plan office instead of walking 4 paces to talk to me, I told the boss that he was an "Arsehole" and walked out there and then.
Politeness costs nothing and I have since been informed that several Technical Reps avoid him like the plague and will not deal with him even at the expense of business (This with backing of their Sales Directors) as he also breaks appointments even when people are on the way to see him or he has gone out when they have turned up.

Having said all the above, as others on here have done other things take over and there are still not enough hours in the day.
