I like to read your story Bob. Too many of us have had to give in to what ever and leave the work force while getting health issues sorted out but you seem to be going out while riding high on the wave. Can I wish all the best for your holiday then the retirement. Going back for those 19 days is going to be hard for you, but I suppose we all have a cross to bear :U
On my last day of full-time work, about an hour before I was due to knock off, a bloke who'd been sent from pillar to post trying to get help with some data he'd purchased, finally found his way to me. I was able to help him, and he asked if it would be OK if he came back on Monday for some more assistance. I explained that both my colleague and I were taking redundancies, and there wouldn't be anyone to help him. I walked straight from work to a nice short-term contract.
Cheers Chambezio, I just set my auto "out of office for the next 8 weeks" email reply and now going to take the dawg for a long walk.Quote:

Go and enjoy your retirement - there is no dress rehearsal for life - as for money - you don't need as much as they say you do - as for huge amounts in the bank etc - you don't want to end up the richest bloke in the cemetery.
What I'm saying is "Go for it and enjoy."
Well said Bob..Quote:

Me too. Agree entirely, but then I don't get any R.D.O's either, or weekends off :C. Also, now everybody around here thinks I have "spare" time to fix things for them. :oo: :DQuote:
