Today is the day, my last day with my employer of many years. I'm only going in to finish off the paperwork & collect my belongings, reminisce at a little whoop-ti-doo in my honor.
It feels good, but mostly it feels weird. That stupid fucking job has been my anchor for a very long time, a truly strange love/ hate relationship. No more dealing with idiot managers, no more trying to make things better in the face of all that. What little I've been allowed to accomplish in that regard wasn't for lack of trying, and I did manage to do more than most. In certain respects, I have to humble myself & accept defeat to walk away.
When people ask me why I'm doing it, I joke that my only choices are to retire or go Postal, which might be a little closer to the truth than I'd like.
Later on this afternoon, I'm coming home, getting really ripped with the nice new bong my wife bought me as a retirement gift.
It's a new beginning, a chance at a whole different life, one I haven't really planned much at all. When coworkers ask me what I'm going to do, I answer "Not this." OTOH, I don't intend to let the Grim Reaper catch me sitting on my ass, either.
