You can call me Shorty
« on: August 01, 2013, 11:13:26 AM »
No, this is not related to the shaft jacking thread.   :-[   ;)

I have just 99 short work days left till I retire! Yep, I'm into double digits now and counting.

December 23 is my last day of work and my first day of retirement will be 1/1/2014.

Happy New Year to me!!!

I pretty much just got back from taking 6 weeks of sick leave. I was in a use it or lose it situation, so I used it.   :)

What ever I want to do! I'll be a 'house husband' till my wife can retire in 4 years or so. One thing for sure, I'll be riding my bike a WHOLE lot more than I have been!

I have just 99 short work days left till I retire! Yep, I'm into double digits now and counting.
December 23 is my last day of work and my first day of retirement will be 1/1/2014.

Early Congrats' Conrad!

I retired a couple of years ago, and I highly recommend it. On the last day I went up to the
boss's office to sign out some final paperwork, and he says, "You're not gonna cry on me are you?"
I looked at him in disbelief, and he responded by telling me that some previous retirees had done
just that. I assured him that I wasn't going to hold back any tears of joy, but other than that there would
be no crying, and......could we speed this up just a bit?

Thanks Marty! I won't be sheading any tears either. I might be dancing though! I really like my job but after doing it for 30 years, I'm ready to move on to what ever is next. With a full pension and my health insurance paid for, I'll be all set.  :D

You know we expect a lot of on the road reports w/photos to make us still working jealous.
