End of Shift after over 30 years of Service
I walk in Friday Morning, Make my own coffee, Turn over my Phone, Credit card, I.d. Electronic keys, Building keys, Vehicle Keys Have a little cake, wrap up a few things on the computer, like put my outlook on permanent vacation, Change my Voicmails, clean out my desk, office, vehicle and leave at the end of the day a free soul!

Any employee worth his salt could get all that done by noon. 
Congrats!

Years ago, while in university, I worked for a railway.
One afternoon a train came in the yard. It had a huge white banner over the engine, as was common for retiring locomotive engineers. This one was different. Last run-51years. He was crying as he climbed down the engine.
This was not uncommon. He either started work as a wiper (cleaning coach windows) or a telegraph boy. Apparently you could do that at age 14 or 15 in those days.
In any event what do you think his hobby was. Yes, that is correct. He was a big time model railroader!
30 years of service these days is certainly something to be proud of. Congrats and enjoy your retirement to the fullest.

Maybe you could leave early today. In our industry, they wouldn't generally even let us stay for the 2 or 3 week notice period, but still pay you.
