Though I'm not quite in the company of the Life after Fire folks, (shooting for mid July) I thought that this would be the best forum to post some thoughts and actions that have occurred over the last few days. I will preface with letting you know that I have had a great career in the fire service, and save for a few knuckleheads and upper level politics, got along with most all of my brothers and sisters. It's been a great ride, but I have had enough and am ready to move on.
That being said, it was with great unexpected pleasure that I woke up New Years day thinking 'this is the year I will retire!' I cannot explain it, didn't expect it, and not that 12-31-14 was a bad day, but these first few days of 2015 feel great! So great that I came down with (wink) rv-itis, called in sick and went to a great rv show in San Antonio yesterday. Gotta get my practice in ya know. Did I care that it was a soupy nasty 40 degree 200 mile round trip? Not in the least...
So, did any of you fired folks have similar feelings first morning of the year that you retired? I hope so!
