Let me be the first to offer congratulations. Life is good.

**REWahoo** · 03-29-2006, 01:44 PM

BabyApe,

I missed out on being the first here to congratulate you, so I'll settle for second. But I can still be the first to ask, "Whatya DO all day!"

Determining how to answer than question is a wonderful problem to have....

Woo hoo!

What are you going to do on your first day out of school?

Helpful hint: set the alarm for your usual wake-up time. When it goes off, shut it off, grin and go back to sleep.

HFWR · 03-29-2006, 02:04 PM

Au contraire... take a hammer, and smash that f%$#%*...

cute fuzzy bunny · 03-29-2006, 02:33 PM

Good point.

You definitely dont need one of these...

AltaRed, I thought you were staying South?

Are you saying that Calgary is a better place to retire to than Houston??

I'm launching into this with a 3.25 SWR.

Congratulations, BabyApe.

"Impulsive" would be resigning without knowing your expenses or your net worth.*

Resigning after spending 18 months reading the ER board and being able to quote your SWR to two significant figures is a sign that you're FI and somebody at work pissed you off-- at which point you decided that you weren't going to put up with all that @#$%ing stuff anymore.

Same result either way!!

Congratulations BabyApe! I hope that you enjoy it! What are ya gonna do all day?

That would be M-F. Your attitiude toward weekends will shift 180 degrees and instead of TGIF it will be TGIM.

Yeah

After 12 yrs. of ER - I have to check the calender to know the day of the week.

At least - the Golden Retriever licks my face every morning 5:30 - 6:00 for his morning whize and romp outside.

Do try to avoid the morning and evening rush hours for errands during the day though.

I can't imagine anymore - that I spent thirty years commuting to work.

heh heh heh heh

Baby Ape,

I have just completed my fourth week of my retirement. I did not retire quite as spur of the moment as you did, but I did shock quite a few people who didn't think I would do it. Let me enable your retirement decision.

"Regrets, I've had a few, but too few to really mention." You can sing along if you would like.

If you are like me, you won't miss anything about work. I haven't even driven by the place in the last four weeks. I have moments of panic also, but usually about fun things like which wine goes with stuffed flounder.

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

Sounds legally defensible to me. After all, who can really say for sure what you said vs. what the boss heard? You can always grab a lawyer to show them you are not playing around.

Butthole. Da boss could have had a smooth transition. Now the fool has a fight on his hands with an ex employee who holds the cards.
