Tomorrow I give notice to retire!

[Options]

Resigned today. A week early, wasn't planning on it, but I did it. Wasn't prepared for it to be as hard as it was. I really like my boss. Like the people I work with. Like the organization. It's the work/profession I'm completely burned out on.

Got a chance to tell the boss lots of things I'd wanted to say, like how much I appreciate her. Told her my commitment was to find a suitable replacement and make sure she was going to be okay.

Boss said she'd miss me, that she was both happy (for me) and sad. Asked me to stay through the end of March instead of 3/9 as I'd planned. Told her, "It'll kill me, but for you, I'll do it."

So I guess you could say I have OMW (one more week) syndrome.

I was just told my last day is 27 February.

My boss came into my office. I started the converstion by saying the worst of the messes of my part of the project are resolved and someone could take over for me. My boss said that he wanted me to stay with it until th end of February which would be less disruptive to the client.

Much better than Feb 29! That would be a *long* extra 2 days

(in case my humor is not picked up on, next Feb 29 would be in 2016 or OMY)

Congratulations Options, you can tough it out!

Well - it's now 'official' - FIRE'd today!


Went in for my last day, wrapped up my farewell email to some co-workers, said goodbye to others, put the last of my personal belongings in a bag, turned in my badge and walked out the door.


Reality is settling in that a new chapter is finally here!

BBQ-NUT,
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing your last days at work with us. Enjoy yourself in the next chapter of your life.

Francis
