it is official

Mar. 26th, 2009 03:13 pm
I filed my retirement papers today. I'll officially retire on May 30th and see my first check on July 1st.

It feels weird to know that a 20+ year career is ending. Now is the time I start exploring the second half of my life.

I "retired"once before when I spent 4 years on disability. I spent those years exploring the United States by motorcycle between long trips to the hospital.

Right now I just had a sandwich and coffee at Panera, a great place with free wifi.

Time to explore the web on my netbook.

morning

At work, staff meeting this morning, talk of layoffs and furloughs looming. A lot of people worried. I will make the move toward retirement this morning by completing the application and getting an estimate from personnel.

I'd rather be retired and poor than live with the presure and insanity that will be the next few years.

Health care is still an issue I need to resolve. As a last resort, I do know of a few free clinics and MediCal might be an option.
