It’s happening

I hear ya, but I have worked from home last 4 years, and for what they were paying and the yearly bonus it was impossible to walk away from. (Railroad bonuses are just off the charts nuts).

 

Too late, went to take a zodiac ride this morning but too windy so it’s Price is Right at the bar. just finished my first beer, ordering 2nd as I write this.

 

Love the look. He’s thinking “you woke me up to go to work with you! Are you kidding!”
Here is Raven helping me at work,,,

 

Thx. I posted my last out of office today on outlook. Then spent the day cleaning out all the mis matched plastic containers that won’t stack. My daughter told me last week “dad, you have way too much shot in this house “. So I am cleaning it out as my retirement mission. Including the brand new retirement theme t shirts that everyone sent me that I will never where. Goodwill gonna love me tomorrow.

 

So this morning I logon my company issued laptop just to see what’s going on, 30 year habit. “Access Denied “. Dam, that happened fast. So I spent the morning cleaning out home office of every document, notes, projects, anything work related.
Then I went downtown and met with the Railroad Retirement Board, pleasantly surprised. This won’t affect my ability to keep boating one bit.
Was surprised to find out Medicare is not free, $170 a month.
I think this is going to work out well.

 

3rd beer. Been raining last 4 days, going long ride in morning.
I like Bloody Mary. Been a while. Good idea.

 

So 1 week into this. Went fishing today first time in 3 years, not a bite, didn’t care, great time. They could offer me $200 an hour to come back and no way. I should have done this 5 years ago.
First time in my life, my life is mine. Kids grown and gone. Nobody telling me I have to be somewhere at a certain time. Nobody calling some dollar amount on a report is wrong. It’s amazing. I couldn’t be happier or more relaxed.
You know the very last email I got before I logged of at work? Some manager freaking out her report numbers were wrong. I set my out of office to I am gone. Shut down the corporate laptop and thought “sux to be you, bye”. Then I boxed up the corporate laptop took to UPS and shipped it back.

 

I used to be up at 5am every day,
Logged on see what going on. Now I lay in bed till 7 or 8 watching crime shows. Then around 9, head to marina. Just because I can.
Honestly my biggest decision now every day is am I cooking dinner or ordering out. Serious.
