退休
(写于2023年4月)
转眼间,六十岁就到了!同事们大多都在这个年龄退休,主要是这是能拿到全额退休金的最低年限。有人想多干几年,也有反聘,减少工作时间,仍能多拿钱,但这一般是两年。当然,也有不这么早退的,按英国的规定,可以一直坚持工作到七十岁,这是少数,尤其是医生,一般不会。医生同事中,我刚到医院时的4 位同事,两位在退休后不久便因病去世了,另外两位已退休数年了。
我退的主要原因还是因为想要照顾年迈的母亲。原本想到生日就退,可那会儿正赶上中国新冠疫情突然恶化,退下来也回不去,于是便拖了几个月,加上没休的年假,最后定在4月3日,正好跨过英国的金融年度。
尽管我1990年就来到英国工作,但1995年去了美国一年,临走前,NHS把我交的养老金退给了我,所以最后只能从1996年1月1日再回英国算起, 这样,工龄有27年多。最后的养老金分成两部分: 95部分有26年多(包括后来买回来的一点),这是现在可拿到的,2015部分有两年多,还得等五年才能得到。
这二十七年我一直在同一个医院系统工作,尽管有升迁,但已经到头了,再干也就是多一点收入。工作这么久了,都已得心应手,没有值班,按部就班,很轻松。可毕竟还是责任重大,必须要小心翼翼,还是有压力的。好在我这二十多年,没有任何事故,差错。于是,就这么定下来了。
决定退休后, 同事们办了一个又一个的欢送会,还送了不少的小礼物。先是kidderminster hospital 手术室, 后来 Alexandra hospital 的门诊和手术室先后开欢送会, 并送了礼物礼金。我带的一位实习医生临走时还送了两瓶酒和祝福卡。 最后一次是科里的医生同事们请了科里的秘书们陪同一起去泰国餐馆晚宴,还送了礼金(代金券)。二十多年的人缘还是不错的。

They look "clunky" with a nice, round toe. That being said, they are comfortable and are great to be in for a day of standing and walking!

Had them for about a week now. Wearing them to work everyday. Better than my skechers that I was wearing. Has more support that I needed to work around in.
- Singapore
They fit perfectly and I PUT my own orthodics in them and very comfortable for my high arches and metatarsal pain. .no pain now and will buy another pair of these shoes when I wear these out.
- Liberia
This is the third pair that I have purchased. I like this shoe but I have had to go to the shoe repair store with them. The problem is the piece on the toe of the shoe comes loose. The shoe repair man can glue it back in place.

The wireless Bluetooth headset is amazing. No matter in terms of quality control or appearance, the sound quality is good, the texture is good and comfortable. Good comments.

This is a good earphone. It is very comfortable to wear. It won't slide down and is very stable. The sound quality is also particularly good, with strong noise reduction effect, clear sound quality, and long endurance.

The whole machine, including the charging box, has a matte texture, which is very advanced. I also like the place where the earplugs are packaged and installed. There are many earplugs sent. The default earplugs are very suitable for me. They are also very comfortable to wear. The sound quality is high and the performance is stable under load. The bass is also sufficient, and the noise reduction is OK.

Very unsatisfied
2024-01-04 18:56:23--
I ordered the white leopard and was sent the wrong color (orange and green) and the quality of the shoes were very poor.
2024-01-04 18:56:16--
I ordered a kids boots and get an adult slipper. How I ordered footwear for a child and got some ugly and stained adult slippers that no one wears. I asked the seller to send pictures when I ordered they
said yes and I never got anything. This is just unacceptable because this was a Christmas gift and now I have to figure something out 5 days before Christmas. I need a full refund no questions asked
2024-01-04 18:55:04--
I'm trying to return for the correct size. I need help.
I tried to write the seller immediately before shipped that I need an 11.5 not 9.5
they was not helpful at all telling me they cannot put a stop to my order to send a different size.
2024-01-04 18:54:27--
