Woohoo!! Many congrats too you! Its been a blast sharing the road to this day with you, and now its here. Enjoy your moment Karen, you deserve it!

 

I will be in the office for a lil bit on Tuesday morning; turn in last timesheet, keys, keycard, laptop, etc.; and then I'm outta there. Its timely the 1st day of pre-session budget hearings start that day and I won't be there. Life is good!

Yes it has been fun!!! Now it is your turn!!! No one wanted my key when I tried to turn it in. It was sort of funny. Had a nice send off and so glad retirement is here!!

 

So...... 180 minutes left???

I retired almost 10 years ago and never looked back.

We have taken 56 trips. Of that many cruises.

Enjoy

What did you enjoy about the Quantum? We are going on it March 29.

 

Everything! It is a beautiful ship and we had no real problems with Dynamic Dining. Lots of great entertainment and Capt. Gus gave us all free internet for the trip! I am ready to go back:)

DH retires at the end of the school year after 5 years of teaching. He started counting the days the first day of the school year.

 

 

I am retiring this year after 35 years of teaching. I am counting the class periods!

Oh, boy, tomorrow is it!! Technically, 330 minutes left (5.5 hrs), but I doubt I'll be there that long. Go in at 7, finish up a couple of things, watch the first budget hearing which starts at 9am, say some goodbyes, then probably leave early before 12:30. What are they going to do, fire me???;)

 

One last lunch on Wednesday with the Governor's budget staff, they couldn't make my luncheon back on the 6th as they were putting the finishing touches on the 2015-17 Gov Rec budget at the time. They're a good bunch of people:cool:, but not near as good as my staff :p:D

Well, its official, left the office about 12:15 today for the last time. Oh, what a wonderful feeling! Enjoyed a nice lunch today with DW who also retired today, took our daughter to a doctor appt, then came home and hoisted an icy martini to celebrate. Getting ready to call it a nite, doubled check the alarm clock to make sure it is in the OFF position:D

Good morning all, its a beautiful first day of retirement. Thanks Karen and Deb for the congrats. Yes, we all did it. Time to enjoy our respective rewards.

 

WOW, so far so good, except it looks like the hard drive on our desktop is failing. We have two backup drives, so will make sure everything is good to go and then take it down to the computer store for diagnosis. Its 5 yrs old, so on the cusp of either replacing just the hard drive or just buy a whole new rig. What timing, eh:confused::o

 

Meeting some folks for lunch today, take the truck in for oil and a door lock repair tomorrow, auto show in Reno on Friday. Wow, where did I find time to do this stuff when I was working:confused::rolleyes:;)

That's great! We're hoping we can do a whole lot more traveling between cruises and taking our RV on the road.

It's getting closer...

19 more shifts for me (after 30+ years in law enforcement) and 24 shifts for DH (after 36 years with the school district). We both turned our paperwork in last week.

Thank you!! I was here when you retired. It does feel great! It is great not having to do something you don't feel like doing until you feel like doing it. (Hopefully that made sense...lol)
