Last night I went out for fish and chips at this British style place on Cote des Neiges. It was delicious. I also had a half pint of beer, and finished off the meal with an ice cream cone with a chocolate flake. Well all that fat was not good for my aging stomach. As someone who never suffers from reflux, may I say that reflux is AWFUL. I was awake at 3, hating life.
So I stayed home today. Taking my final "sick day" of the year. They won't miss me and my (non)work.
What did I do yesterday at the office? Glad you asked. I spent a good part of the morning on the website of our pension fund. They have a benefits calculator. And I plugged in every year from 2013 to 2023. 2023 should be my official retirement date. Of course, retiring in 2023 is a joke, because I assume by then our HQ will be located in Beijing, and I won't be going there. We've started constructing a "sub office" but who is kidding who? They are moving to China in the next decade. I'm betting on it.
Anyway, so I now have a nice list of what I would be earning if I took retirement or QUIT at any point in the next 10 years. What does this serve? Nothing. But it was fun to plug in the numbers.

and so?
are you china-bound?
or retiring next year?
Pension...that's for those fortunate people who have a job! My pension got whipped right out from under my feet! Oh, sure, they'll give me back what I put in and they'll make some contribution...but it won't be anything near what I would have received had I actually been able to retire from my place of work.
But I'm not bitter!!!
