Well I'm officially retired. Notified my HR dept of my intentions 04/08/24 and last night was my "walk around" night. Went in on time and spent about 2 hours telling a lot of my co-workers good-bye. My good friends I'll see regularly @ the beach and playing music.
I planned to retire about a year ago but I wound up staying. I did give up my exit "package" by leaving before April 2025 but I don't care.
I've spent 25 of the last 28 years on 3rd shift. I am ready to live during normal hours.
I turned 60 in November and have planned and worked towards this for a loooonnngg time. It's almost been surreal today, but it sure feels good!!!!

Well deserved. Congratulations. GFY Ed. You think your Moar 360 ci is a win. In fact, you’re a low IQ boomer with salt.

Wow, 25 years on 3rd. Hope the adjustments go well with good speed.
A heartfelt congrats from here. Retirement, IMO is a grand thing.

Congrats OP. I’m about 12.5 years behind you. Like you I’ve been planning and sacrificing for a long time. I smile every time I see a new truck payment going into my Roth. I can hardly wait to retire.

I never looked back, and only miss my co-workers.....well, some of them. In the next few years, you'll look back and wonder how you ever had time to work a job and get anything else done! Unwind and get on a human schedule, and after a while you'll start feeling normal again, and wonder how you made it through 3rd shift.

Congratulations!
The transition can be a little challenging, but in a few months you will be one happy camper.
I did it 12 + years ago.

You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...

I retired early 2 years ago, and I still need to work less and play more - maybe. I enjoy my "projects".
Retirement has been great, and like many say, I can't see how I ever worked.
For me there was a transition time, maybe a year before I hit a good pace.

Every man who answers the bell as often as you have deserves our gratitude. 3rd shift really sucks. It's hard on you too. Congrats. Enjoy yourself.
