I like my work an I am not eager to retire, but I sure would like to have more time off. For several years I have been working an average of 6 days a week. I'm always on call. I can't count on having weekends or Holidays off. I don't know ahead of time if I will be home at 6 p.m., 8 p.m. or 10 p.m.

As I approach age 60 I would like a reduced work schedule. I think working 3 or 4 8-hour days a week would be ideal. Full retirement would be too much of a shock.
