  • Retirement soon!!!

    My annuity application was approved
    After 33 years with this public works agency, I will be retiring, effective August 31. My exit interview is next Wednesday. As I've been working from home since mid-March, I'll likely turn in my key-card and clean my desk then.

    My day job will soon be a memory.
    I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!

      Congrats! You deserve to celebrate!

            Congratulations. I did that 17 years ago, as of August 23. I've never regretted it.

              Way to go, though, we will miss your SC stories.

                I haven't retired from tax preparation yet (the source of my SC stories), this is my day job.

                  My exit interview is done--quite anticlimactic. In it I learned that I will be getting the pay for some of my unused PTO sooner (like two months earlier) than expected.

                  I saved up enough sick time to cover a major illness and enough vacation time to go broke traveling
