Retirement

How do you want to retire?

Well my work life is a bit special since because of my Asperger’s I am hired in something the Danish government calls FLEX job meaning different things like fx I work less than normal people but still get paid the same since my workplace gets the some of the money from the government since it is better for me and the government that I work instead of being unemployed. One of the ‘bad’ things is that once I reach the retirement age of people here, at the moment 70 years old, I will not get my special help anymore and I will work on normal terms if I want to do more. This means workplaces will often fire people when they reach that age. This makes me think that I will just leave the workforce when that happens unless my job offers some good way of me to continue and that I like the place. If it is the place I am now, then I will buy a big cake for the company and celebrate my retirement with them and my family, once the celebration is over then unless I am sick or something that prevents me from being at full speed I will go on a holiday to some nice country.

My tagline

If humans had taglines, what would yours be?

“The climbing movie watching guy with Asperger’s” is what I feel my tagline would be since I feel my mix of climbing and being outdoors while also going crazy with movies makes me a fun mix plus as you know I have Asperger’s which is why I am adding that as well… the only problem I have is that I am not sure if that is a tagline or not since before today I had never heard the term before, but I hope I got it

Overcoming fear

What fears have you overcome and how?

I know the question is how to come your fears but I feel that the biggest fears I have in life is so big that I don’t even have the strength to overcome speaking up about them since I don’t know how to get started at them in the first place. I am not living in fear daily as it does not ruin my life and I don’t hate myself for it either but I feel maybe some of my days could be better if I was able to fix it. I am feel I am getting more and more brave to conquer them every day so guess I just need to take small steps but I wonder if my steps are too small and that maybe too few days left for it to happen. So guess I can answer half of this question by saying that you need to do small steps to slowly get the upper hand and hopefully you can beat it someday.
