Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
One step closer here .... they have officially opened up a job requisition to replace me !
How convenient! The class of 2013 opened up a req with your name on it!
Are you sure?OK, I've decided: June 21 for me! I'm 43 years old and ready to start the rest of my life.
Are you sure?
Well I did it! After 30 years of preparation (saving and LBYM) and 34 years of employment at the same institution, I completed this phase of my life. Tomorrow I am officially ER'd and the next chapters of my life begin. I am looking forward to them.
I just got home from a nice retirement party after which my mom asked if I was sad. I answered in a word - No. I was more than ready even though over those 34 years, there were many more good days than bad, and I enjoyed most of my duties. It was a great place to work and I enjoyed the autonomy I accrued over the years.

Ronstar, its a matter of choice for you which is so much more than most of America can say ! I hope the class of 2014 treats you well
Congratulations DFW_M5! How was your first day of freedom?
Thanks CBG. Slept till 6:30 AM vs my normal 5:00 AM, went to gym in the moring and then pruned the front yard shrubs in the afternoon. I did not miss my commute one bit.
