Sometimes and depending on the job... I have had a year or so with no regular employment, or even work from home... It can get pretty monotonous to the point of not even knowing what day it is.
After you have hiked all the trails, hobbied your self silly, played all your computer games, etc I was ready to work again, deal with a new set of issues and people.
One of the biggest issues with retirement, besides the effects of just getting older, is the boredom factor... One day you just sit down in your chair and don't get up again.....
