I went for a haircut in anticipation of what I expect to be my last office christmas party today. No I didn’t give notice yet - I’m inclined to wait until after the bonus season. I’m not even sure of the exact date but it will certainly be before the next holiday season. Im not at all misty about it. I am more smiling inside as I know a secret.
I had an experience yesterday that I thought was the “It is time Ray” message. Now don’t laugh- I don’t for a one moment think the almighty sent me a personal message. I think it was my internal voice talking. The voice that has guided me through the last 50 years.
That same voice that made me never cut a class, choose the right gal and always try to do the right thing. The cutter made small talk and told about her mothers recent knee operation and how she was having a slow recuperation. She said her mother was 66 - 3 years older than me. After I was all cleaned up I paid the $10 and a $3 tip (Trust me this is the cheapest cut around). As I stepped into the waiting room I noticed an older, frail gent with a cane struggling to get up. I asked if he would like help and he offered his hand. After I pulled him up he was very unsteady on his feet. That’s when he said “I’ve had 4 knee replacements”. It was like a little bolt of lightning. I heard that internal voice -“The clocks ticking Ray time to relax and have some fun”.
Anyone else have a bolt of lightning? A slow burn? Perhaps have that job go away?
