I got quite sick about a week before I retired and I wasn't able to finish all the work I needed to do, mostly sorting stuff, getting my personal effects and getting work rooms tidy.

All my bosses said I was welcome to return (under certain conditions: can't go into the storage areas, can't use the WiFi or the toilets) and my mentor said she will be asking that I be appointed as a designated paid researcher.

Sounds good.  :teddyr:

Sounds good indeed.   

Only issue is that I can't use the bathrooms 😳😳😉

Maybe Homer Simpson will let you use his "Pig Crap" silo.

Just take a quart-size plastic bag with you and at the end of the day leave it in your boss' trash bin.

leave a surplus of dirty undies behind when you're done

it's the gift that others there will truly enjoy
Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Villeneuve - the elite



I believe in the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Marge: "He filled up that whole silo in just two days?"

Homer: "Well, I helped."

When my dad first retired, he didn't know what to do with his free time, so he took a job consulting with his former business. It didn't require him to work full time but helped him ease into the transition of being retired. The consulting gig didn't last too long, he realized he was happier sleeping late and going to ball games. Maybe a similar arrangement would work for you.

Thanks Rev: I realized the other day that I'd left a lot undone and asked if I could come back to work temporarily to fix everything: surprisingly, all the bosses agreed.  :cheers:
