My exit interview is Monday.
That sounds like a good reason to go to work on a Monday, Congrats and welcome to the club.
My exit interview is Monday.
After a strange couple of weeks I finally was informed on June 4th that June 5th was my last work day.
As I post this on June 6th I suppose I’m pretty much retired!
My exit interview is Monday.
It doesn’t seem real yet!
I am pretty happy, all things considered....
As of today, I am done and done!
Tomorrow starts the first day of the rest of my life!

The world keeps changing around this pandemic. We're learning more and more every day and still don't seem to be a whole lot closer to knowing how this all ends. But, I'm hopeful our brilliant scientists will figure this out and the world will find some level of normalcy.
On a brighter note, Your LIST update is here! We have lots of updates (i.e. December's getting busy! ) and several additions to the 2020 Class, so please welcome them aboard the train!
PLEASE NOTE: I went back through the forum and added "Announcement" links to all who notified us of their successful retirement. If you find an error, please let me know as this is a bit of a tedious cut & paste task! Also, if you'd like your Announcement to point somewhere else, let me know - I can do that, too! LoL - I also just found out that there is a limit of 15 emoticons per post - so no more smilies from me!!
Congratulations to everyone that's "Made It" so far! Livin' the dream (although likely in isolation)!

T minus 20 days and counting....
I am sure I overlooked something, but having been on this path since 2015, I can’t be anymore ready than I am. Cars, houses, insurance, accounts, informing people, making plans, getting rid of work clothes - buying more active wear, you name it, I think I have it covered.
Congrats to all the recent retirees! Good luck to everyone who is retiring soon! Must be a great feeling.
