Congradulations Nancy

[Bill Wyko]

If I'm not mistaken, Isn't today The first day of retirement? Have fun...I insist.:D

[Nancy Laird]

Thanks, Bill - I'm still at the office today, but tomorrow is another story. When I leave here this afternoon, it is with all my personal stuff and leaving the office key behind. I've been teary-eyed all day, and it's only gonna get worse as the day progresses.

Darn nice people!! Always making me cry (you too!!).

Nancy (1 day)

Nancy,
One of my mentors once said..."When you decide to retire you decide to give up the bad...but you also decide to give up the good...and the good is the contact with good people."

Enjoy Nancy...I got a feeling that "the people" will be knockin' down the door.

[Heather Thompson]

Nancy,

I quit my professional career after twenty-five years of service in telecommunications, three years shy of retirement, very painful at all levels. My decision to leave the company was based on integrity, personal values and a dedication to professionalism, issues that ATT has discarded. Be greatful for the friends that you have embraced at work, here at the Creek and in the other parts of your life, good friends are the result of the values that you hold true on a daily basis. Allow yourself to grieve what may feel like a loss at first, but then feel the joy of embracing the next stage of your journey in life. Now get back in the shop and lets see some dust, shavings and whatever engravers leave....

Congratulations,

Heather :D

[Bernie Weishapl]

Congrats Nancy and now begins another journey in life. You have friends and your hobbies. Embrace and enjoy them. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[Barry Elder]

Nancy, when you put it in gear tomorrow after work, a whole new world opens before you. You thought you were busy at work. Wait until you find so much to do in retirement that you have to quit just to try to get organized! All those thousands of things you never had time to do.........guess what! Ha!Ha!Ha! And away we go!

[Jim Becker]

CONGRATULATIONS, Nancy!

(I can only wish for the same kind of day...someday... :rolleyes: ...but that darn Prize Patrol keeps passing my house by! :o)

[Jude Kingery]

Best wishes, Nancy! You can maintain the friendships and let go of the stress; retirement is a great place to be although transition, change - of course it feels differently. Overall, enjoy and celebrate! Congratulations, Jude

:D:DWell, it's over. Yesterday afternoon I took all my personal belongings out of the office into my car, cleaned off my computer of my personal stuff, turned in my key, hugged my boss, cried a bit, and left. It is OVER!!! With luck, I'll never have to fight morning rush-hour traffic again.http://familywoodworking.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gifhttp://familywoodworking.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

So, to everyone here---

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, whatever your creed may be, and
