    The main reason for planning this far ahead is that there's plenty of preparation stuff we need to do in the next year or so, and it gives me something to look forward to. The downside is that the waiting is difficult. I'm not a particularly social person so I can happily live without that aspect of work, but I've been lucky at a few companies to have one or two colleagues I keep in contact with after moving on.

    Arghh, I heard a new phrase at work today: "we don't want to try and eat the whole elephant at once". I suppose this is a variant on "we don't want to try and boil the ocean", but hearing these daft management phrases reminded me of how much saner I'll feel when retired! :-)
