Dryer sheet aficionado
Howdy all,
Marco from Texas here. First registered a few years ago, but have not been active here. I'm just days (6) away from my 2nd retirement, first one was from the military in 2002, and this one as a FERS fed. We've been planning for 2 years now, living on the retirement budget for one year, and feel ready in most respects. With 8 days to go I got an email from the HR folks telling me that instead of taking the normal 76 days to get my pension, it was going to be 6 to 12 months due to COVID, etc, and so forth. They said I better have a backup plan.....with 8 days to go......Merry EFFING Christmas! No worries though, I had planned for a big BOHICA and have been stashing cash away this last year, and am selling back 383 hours of unused vacation. We'll ride it out on spam and beans no problem.
Wishing you all a most prosperous New Year!
Regards,
~Marco~
