I woke up Wednesday morning in a good mood and decided I had worked here long enough, 30 years to be exact. How can that have happened? It is as if a whole lifetime has gone by and I am still here. I have seen it all, the new enthusiastic managers come and go. The new sheriff rides into town on a brand new horse full of ideas on how the business will grow thanks to him of course. The same old cliché loaded speeches, the same miserable pay raises, the same old finger pointing for every perceived mistake. Reading the company annual report to see how many new options the management team awarded themselves this year.
Retirement is something I have been thinking about for some time but always said I will give it another while, maybe another year or two, another few thousand in the bank, and so on it went, until Wednesday…
I will continue at work for another few weeks to get most of the loose ends wrapped up and then leave. It is strange what a freeing feeling it is to have finally quit, all my anger and frustration have suddenly gone away leaving me with a strange empty, but very happy feeling. I am left wondering what on earth did I have to worry about? This work stuff is not really important at all, I should have done it ages ago.
I am 60 years old now. I hope I have enough money to get by, but I am confident I will pick up a lots of tips on this website. I only discovered it a few weeks ago and am very glad to be amongst you all.
