M: Well, not so bad.

　　F: How have you been spending your time?

　　M: I have been spending more time with my family. Ive also travelled a bit, you know, off season when everywhere is less crowded and hotels cost less.

　　F: Great.

　　M: You know I havent stopped work completely.

　　F: Yes, could you tell us more about this?

　　M: Im on a scheme thats called phased retirement; I had a six-month break from work, after that I could apply for project work with the company I used to work for.

　　F: How does the scheme work?

　　M: Well, its a trial at the moment. Instead of hiring temporary stuff, the company advertises posts on its website that retired employees like myself can access.

　　F: What sort of works advertised?

　　M: Well, all sorts of things, really. Administrative work and more specialized work, the sort of thing I can do. Some of the projects can last five or six months, and others can just be a couple of days. I can decide more or less when to work. So I can manage my own time.

　　F: I can see its good for you. What is your company get out of this?

　　M: Well, I still have all my old contacts at work, so I know who to contact to get something done. The company gets flexibility, too. Once the jobs over, thats it. Im not on their books any more.
