Class of 2013

I've decided to add my name to the class of 2013, although I need help actually adding my name... On February 6th, I left my job and semi-retired. We have a small portfolio of rental properties that I now manage, after firing DW. :). I turned 50 in July, so I met a goal that I set long ago. Even though I consider myself semi-retired I've decided to add myself to this year's class as I could either sell our assets, or hire a management company and we could get by minimally. I'll take care of our properties for a few years, and dabble with flipping houses for some extra cash until we totally retire, which will most likely be when our kids (ages 11 and 9) are off to college.
 
last day is Monday!

On Monday I will be turning it all in and getting a ride home. So far the transition is going well and I'm feeling great about the timing. :dance:

Congratulations! That is how to do a Monday!
 
Yes and No

We will be doing some traveling here and there, working on the house making it ready to rent, and doing some serious tryouts of living in the islands. We can't decide if we like Kauai or the Big Island best, but having a ball figuring it out.
 
And done.

Today was my last day. :dance::dance::dance:

Overjoyed to have crossed the finish line, although still a bit nervous about keeping myself mentally and physically stimulated.

Congrats Trainee!

Will you remain in HK?

Thanks.

Yes. I've been here for over 20 years and DW and her family are from HK so I plan to stay here long term, possibly some more travelling once I have finished the MFA in a couple of years.

Cheers

My resignation goes in tomorrow and the last day of work will be 10/15. Unexpectedly joining the class of 2013! (Unexpected as of a couple of months ago.....)

Well, the BS bucket overflowed again today, but at this point, I'm not willing to cut my nose off to spite my face. Besides, I can have some fun by stirring the pot. What's the worst they can do, FIRE me? :D

Speaking of BS, I am soooo glad I was in a position to leave the last job. I've talked with several people still there and it's worse than I thought it would ever be. Violations of labor laws (no rest breaks, no meal breaks) and at least one guy ended up using a trash can as a potty since one cannot leave a post there.

And I thought the last contractor was poorly run. They didn't hold a candle. Hopefully this one will end up being fined into bankruptcy but still, glad I'm not there!:dance:
 
Just got home from my farewell lunch on my last day at work. In the (in)famous words of Austin Powers: "And I'm spent!" :dance:

Congratulations - another happy graduate from camp w#rk.

:dance::dance::dance:

2013 is looking like it's going to produce a bumper crop of early retirees.
 
I did it! I filed my retirement papers with the state, gave my boss my resignation letter and my last day will be 12/20/2013!
