For Better or For Worse I retired today

[Kitty]

For better or worse I retired today; I went in early turned in my gear signed a few legal papers got my watch and plaque.
I even had a cup of coffee with the administrator and I left. I heard the door lock click behind me as I left the building; with that click 18 years with that government agency came to a close.
Now on to the next adventure; I have the house up for sale, the truck is reserved and most of the junk (I mean furnishings) are packed now a few lose ends to tie up and I am off to the farm in Kentucky and a whole new phase of my life begins.

Congratulations Kitty, welcome to the wonderful world of the deliberately unemployed.

...I heard the door lock click behind me as I left the building...

Yep, that's a wonderful frightening heck of a sound, isn't it?

Yes, it is a wonderful and frightening sound; the first because it means you have retired and second you can't go back .

Congratulations. Hope your farm turns out to be all you want it to be. I should be doing my exit next year but am still a bit scared of the can't go back. I have however set myself a final working day of Sept 01, 2007 with the option of going before. I will miss most of the people I work with but am bored out of my tree.

good luck
Bruce

Hello Kitty!

Congrats on the retirement, and enjoy your new adventures. I guess you give a new definition to the phrase "bought the farm"! Anyway, hope you enjoy it!

Old Irish saying;
May the wind always be at yer back
May each bagel be schmeared with cream cheese
May the lox be fresh and not so salty
And may each day be full of pleasure and freilach

That lock is not to keep you out, rather it's to keep the rest of us poor suckers in!

Have fun
