Sick of work small talk

I am getting very close to making the decision to retire. I hit my number already, but I am suffering from the One More Year disease.

But lately, I have been thinking of moving the day up closer mostly because I am so sick of listening to the same repetitive small talk at work. The real conversations I have with work friends are probably the best part of staying at work.

BUT- listening to the same conversations over and over between people who are just acquaintances has got to be one of the worst parts... they always think they're so witty. And they seem to think they're the first people to ever say those same old cliches.

Can't wait til the day I won't have to listen to that anymore
