Have been planning on retiring after receiving my bonus in March, 2014, but had an exceptionally lousy day at work - following an extraordinarily crappy week. So bad, in fact, I was close to telling them "Good bye, and thanks for all the fish" at the end of the day.
Since the new management arrived six months ago, my notional concept of leaving next Spring has become a firm decision. I've been counting "Months 'til Freedom" for a while (4 and counting), but today I sat down to count "Weeks 'til Freedom" and had a major epiphany - I have not been subtracting vacation days, holidays, and sick days (I seldom used sick days, but that is going to change, pronto).
What started out at 16 work weeks remaining (which is barely tolerable) magically became 6.03 actual weeks of being in the office.
Six weeks....okay, I can handle that.
