a form of semi-retirement, often characterized by weeks or months of waiting, waffling, wondering, and worriment; common characteristics also include
lying, dissembling, persecution complexes, backbiting, media circuses, and incessant complaining about
one's treatment at the hands of those
one has favretired from, or is contemplating
un-favretiring to join; may be caused by an excessive need or desire to have
one's
ego stroked and the belief that one is deserving of worship, adulation, and much ass-kissing by others, though ironically, the resultant behavior usually results in a significant cost to the reputation of the favretiree.
That guy Brent in accounting is driving me
insane; one day he's retired, then he's not, then he's injured his bicep muscle and has to wait to see if it heals enough for him to be able to punch
keys on his
calculator -- I wish he'd make up his mind and end this favretirement already.
