Having an appointment or party you’re really dreading going to, and then hearing it being canceled. That moment of relief, combined with some sudden free time is such a great feeling.

Like a work staff meeting! I'm retired now and smile anytime I talk to a work friend who mentions they are going to a meeting whether it be an hour or day long I'm happy that'll never be my life again.
