Tom’s first week of retirement

Here's Tom's "last day at the office" snap.

Day 1:

Tom gets a text from someone at his office asking if he’s in the Cayman Islands.

Tom replies that he’s at Acme buying Ketchup.

“In the Cayman Islands?”

Ha ha no.

“What did you do this morning?” asks the former colleague.

Well, says Tom. He says he went to the YMCA to swim, but the pool was closed. He headed up to the gym. It was empty. So he played basketball all by himself. 

Day 2:

Tom cannot figure out how to stop his car from trying to get him to drive to the office. If he tries to go anywhere in the morning, his car beeps at him and says, "21 minutes to the office."

Day 3:

Tom takes apart my bass guitar and fixes it. This takes 12 hours. He bought a large magnifying glass with a flashlight attached, a soldering gun and some fancy tweezers. But he did it! Now he's working on fixing a microphone dropped on its head one too many times.

Day 4:

Tom gets a cold.

Day 5:

Tom buys a new "to do list" app and installs it on his phone. He has way too many things to do to keep track of in a mere and shallow text document. But Tom's standards are high. He might not keep this one particular app. He might look around next week and test drive a different one.
