Calling it quits....
Calling it quits, but in a good way.
After close to twenty seven years with the same large company, I drove out the gate for the last time today. They offered me an early retirement, and after mulling it over for what seemed like forever but was actually only a couple of months, I bit. The hard part for me truly was in making the decision. Once I did, I felt great. While some of my peers that accepted the offer did so reluctantly and are still second guessing themselves, I’m content. It does seem odd knowing I don’t have to get up before sunrise tomorrow. Seems even odder to think I’m retired at a relatively young age. I have a hunch my cigar consumption is about to increase a tad. ;) |

Congratulations! I have a hard time understanding people who are reluctant to retire... I can't wait until I don't have to get up before sunrise! Only 35 more yrs to go...

:dance:Wohoo!!! Congratulations on your retirement! :dance:
Ahhhh...not having to wake up before sunrise...being able to enjoy a morning (or early afternoon) smoke and coffee...and more free time for hobbies! Enjoy! |
Re: Calling it quits....
If you are good with it so are we! Congratulations and happy extra smoking. FWIW second, third and even fourth careers can be very rewarding.

Congratulations! Best wishes!
I can go at 55 and I turn 54 this March. For me, it will depend upon how much or if I am enjoying my job at the time. If it's like now, I'll probably leave. I remember when I loved going to work, but lately I just look forward Friday. |

If you want see if your local cigar shop needs behind the counter help. It's nice being on the other side of this business, along with my favorite word: DISCOUNT!:ss ATL |

Re: Calling it quits....
Congrats on your retirement. I retired at 42 after working for 25 years and I have never looked back. I will be 55 this coming year and I have not missed working for the last 12 years and love being able to sleep in,,take a trip,,,stay up late,,,all those little things you wanted to do but had to work.
