I did it!!!

[TickTock]

The annual bonus hit on 1/31. That night I gave notice to my management and today I informed the client I'm working for (both times ready for the possibility, though I thought it unlikely, that I'd be shown the door immediately).

The bonus finished my OMY list: 401(k) match, 401(k) 100% vesting, bonus.

I'll be finishing up my current assignment in early March, head back home, turn in computer and tools, and start FIREd life, probably somewhere around 3/8 or 3/11. That was my preferred time frame.

I'm excited/giddy/nervous all at the same time. Mostly excited.

I think I'm starting to understand how DW felt in 10/22 when she FIREd...

Congratulations! Gotta love it when a plan comes together like that.
