Hi, I am 'almost'...
retired... today was the Christmas party with the 63 people I oversee.. Tomorrow-Friday will be brutally slow with little to do but be a scarecrow...last day is Monday.

I told everyone in advance and again today that even as the VP/GM, I want the same treatment we give to people who are moving on to other markets and jobs.... a break room sendoff with one of those giant chocolate chip cookies and some Dr Pepper....nothing special just because I'm the boss. We have 2 young folks moving on at the end of the year and the 3 of us will share the break room party.

So ready to go.... counting the hours.... loved the job and the people, but damn it, it's time to go.

Since you're the boss, they'll probably hold the real party the day after you leave *grin*.

Congrats on your retirement.
