Milestone

Hi Guys,

Well, I told my boss today (April 11) that I am planning on having my last work day as June 28th as I retire from the work force. That was a big deal for me to make public the plan I have made to retire.

Up until today, it was a theory that someday 'Real Soon Now' that I would be taking that step. Telling the boss to prepare to lose one of his (only) two experienced distribution center experts was essentially a point of no return.

I then doubled down on making it tough to undo that deed by writing a note to many of the folks I work with so they wouldn't hear my news through a grapevine. All that makes it harder to second guess or reverse the decision.

The messages back from my colleagues have been nice. All said good luck and several said they were jealous. I recall feeling the same as other folks I've worked with made the same call to 'hang up the boots'.

Anyway, that was my day today.

Dad
