Absolutely, CONGRATS!

But may I suggest that retirement deserves far better beer than Miller!

Life is far too short to drink cheap beer.

This is an excellent idea! I read an article in our local paper this spring about the YWCA providing new or gently used interview outfits for women seeking employment. I threw open my closets and found suits, dresses,purses, conservative slacks, blouses and blazers that I had not been wearing but were still current. I also had lots of costume jewelry and scarves and gloves that had been given to me as gifts and were still in boxes. I felt so good taking all these things to the Y, and I made a dent in my cluttered life. The ladies at the store told me they were particularly in need of scrubs, so I passed this info along to nurse friends of mine. It seems a lot of new hires are getting jobs as home health aides.

Don't be too sure.

If mega-corp wants you back, they may get you. It's kinda like being abducted by aliens. Money talks.

It may be you need a tinfoil hat, not to listen.

Don't listen.

CONGRATULATIONS on saying the final sayonara to

Now you can spend countless hours sitting in an old lawn chair in front of the garage like a true retiree

Actually, my favorite beer is Shiner; I'm a bock fan (though I'll take whatever's available.)

Great idea! Though since I WAS an IT nerd, most of my work clothes were khaki pants, oxford shirt, and loafers. I could probably dig a couple of decent suits out of the closet though.

Don't listen.

My boss already asked if I would come back in 6 months as a consultant. Jeeze. I was flattered, but don't see it happening.

Congrats!

I fired our lawn crew in preparation for "assuming the position." My hubby "lol'd" when I told him that I will be caring for the lawn from this point forward. (He knows how I hate sweating, ahaha.)

Congrats, Sarah! It must be an incredible feeling to walk out the door.

All the best

You have inspired me to do same. I just put it on "the list" for a rainy day. I did some initial weeding out 2 years ago, but the finale is very much needed. I will save just 3 outfits for some upcoming educational advisory meetings with my alma mater in the fall.

Congrats on your freedom!!! Woooohooooooooo
