Today was the really the last day! Was going to set the alarm for 5:15 until I said to myself, what are you stupid! So set the alarm for 6:15 instead. Splurged and picked up a coffee at Dunkin Donuts, turned off the talk radio station and tuned in the classic rock station and cranked it up!
Got to work, said goodbyes, had a little gathering at noon and turned in my security badge and as I walked to my car it started to pour
We left straight from work and hit the road to spend a week in the Berkshires. On the way there the toll booth ticket dispenser wouldn't give me a ticket so I ended up paying the max toll when I exited the Mass Turnpike, only $3.85 so I don't think it will kill me. Also hit a bear on the turnpike and messed up my car but still drives, just no AC now and one headlight points off to the right!
So that was my last working day! A day to remember!!
Enjoying family, good food and drink now.
We were going to get rid of the car anyways so no big deal, it has 285000 miles on it so it has served me well
A good way to start reducing our expenses in retirement!
So bottom line is that it is good to be done but seems to off to a rocky start. Hopefully it gets better from here on out
